Hello everyone,
No puppy sitting today or tomorrow, back on Tuesday but not until after lunch, which sounds a lot easier on me..phew.
I have a Facebook group which I'm really enjoying and Annie is the creator of it and it's such a neat place to go, so much to learn and share and chat and so much support, so this weekend there is a challenge over there to make a shaker..right up my alley, thank you very much, so set to..
This is a huge one, but definitely not hard...
Made my card base 12 inches high and 4 inches wide...
All my elements ready...
Glued down the cards onto a panel slightly smaller than the card base//
I did, it is there.....somewhere..
Flipped it...there it is...
Trimmed it and used the off cuts to fill in gaps...
Now panel ready to go...
Had to get out the big cellophane bag for this one..and added double tape
right round the edges all 4 sides..
trimmed the bag on two sides and top, left the bottom of the bag for the panel to sit in, trimmed off the bag of the bag..then
one side and bottom at a time peel off release tape and stick the trimmed bag edges down...
Don't forget to leave the top open to pop your shaker bits in..
and here are my shaker bits...tiny little playing cards.
So into the shaker pouch they went....
There they all are floating about, but only slightly..
Nestled at the bottom..
Sentiment die cut gluing on..

And after making a special envelope for this big guy..
There he is, all ready to go..
WARNING...I must add, you have to be careful shaking this big one as you could probably hit yourself and nearly take an eye out....just sayin'..
Thank you so much for stopping by..
I'm busy today making Wedding cards...lots and lots of die cutting...
Luv CHRISSYxx
