Hello everyone,
It is LITTLE RED WAGON time and our lovely JanR is hostess with rthe theme.." Friend of mine " - to a friend or friendship..
For make this week I went with a shaker and averry bold pouch for my shaker bits..it was a foam tape holder..
Here's the pouch and in the background I was sorting out frames I had made to fit over
and had quite afew to choose from, but it had to a perfect fit..
Presto, found one...and after I covered the pouch which,
by the way, is really deep
I added the frame..
This is how deep it is...
So glued in place after adding a nautical picture for the background
and filled with sea or ocean coloured sequins, lots of blues and greens
and some of those moisture beads you get to soak up moisture in handbags etc..I collect them and have
jars full of them, all colours..they are safe, just don't eat them..
then a navy and cream pom pom trim ribbon..
A chipboard welcome aboard sign and a starfish..
along with a TH friend die cut.
There she is all shook up and glued onto a card base..
Inside is this beautiful Kaiser craft stamp..
" A friend is the nicest thing you can have
and one of the best things you can be "
all the sequins have settled down and the card was done..
So do come and join in with us HERE
thank you so much for stopping by
I'll see you again real soon..
Luv CHRISSYxx

That frame is just perfect for nautical theme, wonderful picture for the inside of the shaker and you had the perfect goodies to put inside the shaker too, mimics the water beautifully. Great texture with the pom poms and ribbon, topped off with the sweet sentiment inside!
Splendid card, Chrissy! Why have I never thought of using packaging like that for a shaker card - it's a brilliant idea!
Wow! Now that's upcycling perfection there now. Such a gorgeous card, Chrissy, and what an excellent way to give a 2nd life to something that would have been thrown away/recycled.
Ok I'm going to have to hold on to these type of packages in future. This is AMAZING. I want to have a go shaking it lol. You have the perfect combination of colours and images to make it a pure delight! Love the friend quote <3
Fantastic card, Chrissy! I’m loving that pom-pom ribbon! It looks fantastic under your shaker!
I made a card on the weekend using some leftover packaging but yours definitely looks much better! 😆
What a wonderful card. I love there is so much to look at and then you get to shake it too! The sentiment is absolutely perfect.
Quite the upcycle! Love this card, xoxo
