Shakin' it up

Happy Sunday!

I've been on a Halloween card making roll.  I haven't blogged all of them, but they can be seen on my IG account, Facebook, or did you know...... The Stamps of Life has a gallery?  They do, so feel free to check out all the great ideas from the DT and TSOL customers and/or upload your own The Stamps of Life cards if you have them.  :)

Today I have a birthday card to share.  Shakers have made a comeback, and the use of the Fuse tool by We are Memory Keepers peeked my interest.  I used a birthday GC to get myself one of the Fuse tools, which I received last week.  I made a quick pocket just to try it out, so since it was already made.... I used it for this card:
It's pretty cool and definitely makes making a shaker card a lot easier.  Most of my shakers end up with a leak.  I'm excited to make more.  Papers are The Stamps of Life.  The cat is TSOL called cat2stamp. I colored it with Spectrum Noir pens.  The cupcake is from the Sizzix happy birthday step up card die set, but the candle is from the TSOL cake die set.  I used the bite die from the watermelon2stamp diet set for the little taste of cupcake the cat took.  ;)  To create the circle window and frame, I used the Sizzix circle framelit dies.

TFL!!  :)

    Love all of your designs!!! I am a die hard Stamps of Life customer. I don't even know how to make a shaker card and do you think the Fuse tool is worth buying?

      Thank you. I've only tried the fuse tool once so far, so i won't rave about it yet (but I'm hopeful and excited) ... i hope to play more soon though. I just bought lots of confetti ;)
