 SHAKE IT

So a shaker/confetti packet type element on your creation. There are several ways to create a shake you can make your own or buy ready made products that you can alter.
We are showcasing Simon's Exclusive Products this week. You don't have to use them to join in but if you have some we would love to see them used.
As always Simon Says Stamp will be giving away $50 voucher to shop at the fabulous Simon Says Stamp Store

A bit out of my comfort zone making a shaker card and time wise too. So I went for a clean look using the Polaroid die from MFT and using the Simon Says Stamps Bright and Merry Stamp and Die set, stamped the sentiment on it.
I made the scene using the tree die from the same set and Simon Says Stamps Curved Die back with some dark blue card.
Biggest worry was remembering to put in the sequins before I put the back and front together but luckily I rememebered.
Its not too thick to go throught the post so maybe I might make some more.

So now it's YOUR turn.  Happy Crafting

Gorgeous card Debby ,, I love the CAS look of this and clean crisp colours ,,, FAB :-)
My biggest worry about shakers is never knowing if I have put enough, or too much 'shaker' things inside it ,, I rarely get it right !! :-)
