Boo hoo, can't believe my week off work is almost up already, it definitely whizzes by! This doggy card is hot off the press and is based on yesterday's lesson at the MFT Camp Create for a shaker card.
Here's what I learnt from making this card ....
- When tidying up, make sure you put your acetate along with all your other papers ... I spent at least half an hour trying to find it, and in the end I gave up and cut a page from my pocket scrapbooking folder!
- Add more sequins than you think is enough! I could probably have done with double what I have here.
- Go easy on the glue! ... I'm hoping this white mess at the edge of the acetate dries to clear.
Image is an oldie from High Hopes, coloured with watercolour pencils, popped up on dimensionals and clear gloss/glitter added to his dog tag. Die-namics star dies (there's one placed on the inside of my card peeping through the glue mess)- MFT Camp Create - spectacular shakers
- Simon Says Stamp Wednesday - animal magic
- Polkadoodles #24 - die cut
- Creatalicious #93 - anything goes, option animal
The lesson I learnt from my second card was to keep proper records! I'd been asked to make a load of personalised teacher thanks card, created this one, and when I was putting it with the others realised I already had one made for Mrs Loughran!! Grrr. So I'll try to rescue this one ... maybe pick off those sequins and add her name in a separate panel. We'll see, it could well end up in the bin!
My image is another oldie High Hopes image. Coloured with watercolour pencils and Spectrum Noir sparkle added to the pink pencil and the eraser. Clear gloss/glitter added to the silver bit at the top of the pencil and to the buttons on her jeans. I also used some chalk and my giraffe print stencil again, but the pale blue bit hasn't really shown up in my photo.

Love your cards and to personalize them is awesome
These are gorgeous Lynne , the shaker card is fab and what a good idea to use sequins. Love the little writing mouse too. I don't want to go back to work tomorrow either, hey ho, the next week off is August and that will soon be here!! xx
Thank you, Lynne, for posting not-so-perfect cards (in your eyes). I have so many cards that either end up being thrown away or put in a pile to "renovate." I think these two cards are so cute, and they're inspirational to the rest of us, too!
Gorgeous cards, so cute! Thanks so much for joining our Use a Die Cut challenge at Polkadoodles

Gorgeous card, if you've got smaller enough letter stamps you could put her name on the pencil ? Thanks for taking part in the challenge

Gorgeous cards Lynne! Both images are adorable and the designs are lovely.
I hope you can make use of the bottom card Lynne, it's too lovely to end up in the bin! Maybe add another panel over it with the correct name on :)
Thanks for joining us at Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge

Beautiful cards. I made a shaker card using cosmic shimmer glue to stick the acetate together. It took about 10 days, but did dry clear in the end. I now have my lovely fuse tool to make shakers with, much simpler. Cara x
