Clh! 2021

 

2 days left of the coffee loving cardmakers fall/winter blog hop! 

I have a shaker card to share this time: 

I used some Recollections Christmas patterned paper from my stash to make this. The scalloped frame is from Jaded Blossom. I tried this shaker using a clear envelope. I didn't execute it very well, but... just don't look to closely at it. Lol. To see it in action, check out my IG: vanessacardmaker 😊


Shaker bits are from twiddlers nook.

 The week is going by fast at the coffee loving cardmakers fall/winter blog hop. 

Linking up this card this morning as I drink my coffee ☕ 🙃 

I just got this set in the mail from Stamplorations and couldn'twait to ink it up. I was a lucky subscriber winner for October and won a gc and this is one set I chose.  The word die is also stamplorations that I've had in my stash. The striped background I created using a Honeybee stamps stencil. It's all watercolored.
