Flamingo Shaker

Hi Crafting Friends,

It is time to join in the challenge with the CCEE Stampers blog design team.

Apparently September is "Shake Month" which is a day to celebrate all things Milkshakes! 

One of the very first interactive cards Frances created when she first started stamping over 30 years ago was a shaker card, so for a our challenge this week, let's incorporate some sort of shaker element on your card. Bonus points if you include a milkshake!

I started making the shaker card by die cutting the window and added the acetate, before adding the sequins and glue it to the card base. I added the flamingos to match the designer paper.

Don't forget to check out the CCEE Stampers blog to see the rest of the creations the CCEE Stampers have created this week. You can also see more details of their creations on their individual blogs.

Magicial pride & Friendship

Welcome to today's challenge card made for the Crazy4challenges Harry Potter challenge. I have a work friend who is a great Harry Potter fan so this is made for her too.

According to the Days of the Year Calendar the 20thMarch was Hufflepuff Pride Day, 21st– Slytherin Pride Day, 22nd– Gryffindor Pride Day and 23rd– Ravenclaw Pride Day. These are the four Houses of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardy from Harry Potter. This is a challenge for all the Harry Potter fans out there, create a card inspired by Harry Potter. This could include using stamps of the characters, using colors from any one of the four houses on your card. Or anything else that inspires you.

For my card I have made a northern lights background with distress oxide inks. I then added a splatter of white ink to resemble some stars. The stamped images were coloured and fussy cut out before adding them to the background.

I made a z fold card and using the castle pop up die to replicate the castle walls of Hogwarts. I used the stencil option on the dies to create the brick walls.
I was really happy that I was able to showcase a die set in another way, other that the way that it was intended.

The card folds neatly flat for postage.

Supplies:
Karen Burniston - Castle pop-up, Kraftin Kimmie stamps - make your own magic, Distress Oxide inks - squeezed lemonade, picked raspberry, salty ocean, wilted violet, lucky clover, blueprint sketch, black soot, picket fence.
