    1. Should be based on the THEME ONLY
    2. Must be a SHAKER CARD or a SHAKER TAG
    3.ONLY cards or tags allowed for this challenge

Also, please read the general RULES & guidelines HERE.

I have some Shaker cards & tags for you to get started :) Did you check out the Pocket pages themed cards in the store? They are fabulous & can be used on

a variety of projects.. I've used the Friendship themed cards to make these two cards & a tag..

It's a 6×4" card with a full Shaker frame & the quote base is from the pocket pages.!!
I added wink of stella clear glitter over the rainbow & "friends".. It gives that little pop for the already awesome PP design..
For the frame I used PP from Papericious "It's a boy" collection.. I also added some white blooms made with the Ek tools retro flower punch.!

For this card I used the same paper for both the frame & the base.. I made use of the framed design for my Shaker element.. Also added the striped yellow PP from Papericious Pretty Basics..
The star sequins are a RAK from Sathya.!  I love them..

I added some Wink Of Stella clear glitter & crackle accents on the big yellow star for some added detail..

Here's a monochromatic tag..

I used the fussy cut label from one of the themed cards form the pack as the focal point..
Added some blooms to give the completed look..

Did you check out the latest release from Papericious?? They are so awesome with co-ordinating PPs & also two fussy cut sheets with beautiful elements..
I used the label with this beautiful saying "Because i have a brother, i always have a friend" to make my shaker window base & embellished with the fussy cut elements..

With Rakshabandan close by, this is so perfect for the occasion, combining brotherhood & friendship..!

That's all from me today.. Hope you liked my projects & that I have inspired you enough to try some shik-shik-shakie shaker projects for yourself ;)

Birthday Grid

Sparkle & Shine - Cards

Good Morning!

This is Tanvi & I have three cards with stencilled background  to share today. I have used different medium to add sparkle to these - Inkagold & sequins, glimmer mist & glitter paper.

For the first card I created the background with texture paste on mistable paper.

Next I misted Tattered angels black to make the card base black.

Let it dry & then buffed Inkagold over the surface. Trimmed it to make my card. The sentiment is heat embossed in gold & the sequins add the extra 'Wow' !

For the second card made similarly I used glimmer mist (jack frost) for the subtle shimmer.

And finally in the last one, glitter paper strips on the edges just make the ombre blue background pop! Used chalk colors for the background & the butterfly was heat embossed on vellum & die cut with a coordinating die.

The current challenge is - Sparkle & Shine & you still have a few days to link your entry. You can read more about the Sparkle and Shine challenge here.

Sparkle and Shine - journal book page

Hello friends,

Hope you've all had a great start to this week. 25 gorgeous entries this month, there is time for you to add another if you want. You can read more about the Sparkle and Shine challenge here.

Here is my contribution to your daily dose of art inspiration - another special memory recorded in an altered book journal. Memory keeping isn't always about photographs (at least for me), its about documenting those little things that bring me joy everyday. My page today is about something I learned from my little boy!

The background was prepared by using gesso and a tiny bit of paint. Paper layering on both pages have been made using the gorgeous Maggie Holmes Open Book paper and ephemera. There are so many pretty patterns and text, I'm in love with this range and just can't seem to stop creating with it. Finally, to finish some studio calico sequins have been added between the layers. Easy isn't it.

Wont you join us this month with a sparkling creation of your own?
