It is another StampTV blog hop. This time around we are showcasing a technique called shaker card. And that is what should be done - shake that card! We were also showcasing that wonderful season of Fall. If you have not tried it before then go to the StampTV archives and watch Gina's video. Easier than you think and fun!
You should have arrived from Sharri Seffens blog where I am sure you saw a creative marvel.
For both cards I used the newest StampTV kit called Falling for You. There is a nice variety of stamps in there. This first card I made the background paper with distress inks. I just swiped the inks on a pad, spritzed the pad with water and then put the GK Pure Luxury paper on it. Fun and easy and a little different. I found this awesome ribbon in my "Fall" craft box which means I brought after the season last year on super sale! Love it! The shaker frame and the mat is GKDesigns Fresh Asparagus. Some gold dots and a finished card.
This second card is not really Fall but it was a super fun card to make. I love my bird feeder and used some of my seeds to make this one. The DP was from Basic Grey Lime Rickey paper pack. The frame and mat are GKDesigns Blue Raspberry. A bow and a button and some white dots.

Like the idea with chicken!!!
Great shaker cards! I love the fall leaves. Great idea for the background on that one!

Very nice Fall card! These window cards are so cool!

your cards are amazing! love the one with leaves, wow!
What fantastically fun cards! I love that you used seeds in the shaker of your card with the chicken saying. How fun!
Miesje- Bravo!! The colors and especially the ribbon on the first card- stunning!!! Your second card is too cute- the birdseed is perfect for a shaker!
Awesome cards, Miesje! Love the papers and the birdseed! Very creative!
Your cards are absolutely beautiful! i am going ot have to try a shaker card never made on before but sure will now with all the lovely inspiration!
Great cards and using birdseed in the second one is pure genius. Love the fall ribbon on the first and the metallic-looking leaves in the shaker box
Oh my gosh - I am really blown away by the creativity of the materials everyone is using for inside their shaker cards - foil leaves and bird seed? LOVE IT!! So clever!
Love both your cards. great colors and the seeds are cute.
That ribbon on your first card is absolutely gorgeous my favourite though is the little chicken card, totally have to get this set, again ingenious use of shaker contents...You ladies are amazing!
I love both of your cards, especially the first with those die cut dangly leaves, I have some of them in my craft stash. Now I know what to do with them. A word of caution for seeds, they will eventually hatch into seed moths, its a battle I fight every day in my aviary,freezing them does slow it down,but I don't think anything fully stops it. Unless microwaving them, I have to do that when I make corn bags for aches and pains, because ALL grain comes with some kind of bug eggs in it,just like flour from the grocery. I freeze every bag.
Youir bird seed card just cracks me up!! What a great idea!
Love both of your cards, but especially the chicken scratch card, such a wonderufl Idea!! My mind is racing with ides, I can't wait to try my hand at this old technique!!
Thanks for the inspiration
Donna

Gorgeous ribbon on a beautiful card. Your second card is cute and I think that chicken is going to get mighty frustrated when he finds there's a barrier to the seeds! Thanks for two wonderful examples.
Oh Wow! You people are all so talented. This is a truly gorgeous card. I adore the colours.
oh, my, miesje!--these are so creative and the chicken is cute, cute, cute!
What wonderful shaker cards. Love the sparkly leaves and that chicken feed in the second card is inspired!
