Let’s have some fun!

I adore the Aurora Paper Pack. Can you believe both pieces of pattern paper on the front are from the same sheet?! I used the sentiment and banner from the Aurora Card Making Workshop Kit. (This kit is awesome on it’s own and includes directions to make a set of 16 cards in four different designs).

The shaker element is super fast and is much easier than it looks. I used a Close To My Heart Shaker Window Foam and Acetate (they include the foam circle and the acetate cover all in the perfect size) and cut the confetti for the inside from the scraps of the other papers I used. There are stars from the eggplant base and the Sage that I cut the banner from. The silver ones are from a scrap of glitter paper. It is so easy to cut these using the Shaker Window and Confetti Thin Cuts. I also used this set to cut the eggplant frame around the shaker to cover the white foam tape.

Stampin’ Tip: Don’t forget to use your embossing Buddy on EVERYTHING around your shaker. You want to brush the background, the acetate and any where else the sequins/confetti might go.

The stars along the front image are cut from the same paper I cut the cover and trees from (near the bottom to match the trees) using the Confetti thin cut. The banner is stamped using Sapphire Ink with a sentiment from the stamp set that comes in the card making kit.

The inside features the thin cut from the cardmaking kit as a pop-up element. I used more sage (also included in the cardmaking kit) for the land part of the Earth, and a scrap from the paper I used for the front that featured blue for the background of the Earth. Finally, I stamped the “You mean the world to me” sentiment in Sapphire ink at the bottom of the card. I used the dark ink from the Hydrangea Tri Blend Marker to doodle the lines around the edges – be sure to do this BEFORE adding the popup to avoid accidentally drawing on it (ask me how I figured that out!)

I hope you enjoyed your visit. I’d love for you to leave a comment before you “Hop” on over to Melissa’s blog and check out her work. Happy hopping!
