Shrinky Dink Shaker Card

Hi stampers!  I'm actually blogging today, can you believe it?  I wanted to blog this card because I made a video. And the card is really cool :-)  Not only did I make a video but I actually managed to edit it AND do a voiceover!  Who am I???  I really want to make more videos and do a better job at them so we will see what happens!  Let me know what you think!

But first, let's take a look at the card.

ACK!  Isn't it so cute?  Do you see those cute little cups of cocoa???  I just love them!  I used Shrinky Dink plastic to stamp and make them.  Funny story, I was super excited and showed Jon and he was less than impressed.  Turns out, he thought I got them from Stampin' Up and just shrunk them myself, he didn't realize I stamped and colored them and then shrunk them.  He was much more impressed once I informed him.  What in the world would be the point of buying them like that then shrinking them?  Hahah!

I used the Warm Hugs Bundle for this card.  All of the little elements in this set would looks so cute shrunk up.

Anyway, I filmed a video for you about how I made them although not the whole card for time's sake.  It's my first time doing a voiceover so please be kind :-)  It was odd basically talking to myself while watching the video back.  And I did actually narrate the video while I filmed in case it didn't work out so there's a few gestures in the video.  Now that I know I can do a voiceover I'll have to work on getting rid of the gestures while filming :-)  

Please let me know if you enjoyed the video and if you're going to try some shrinky dinks!

Happy stamping!

Hi stampers!  Happy Friday!  The weeks are flying by as I try to stamp in between virtual kindergarten lessons.  LOL!  

We have a new challenge for you over at Fab Friday!  Let's check it out!

I sort of adore these colors together.  I don't use Gray Granite much but I should start!  And Misty Moonlight is quickly becoming a favorite color!  I've been itching to use Peaceful Nativity so I pulled it out.

My card doesn't look exactly like what I envisioned but I still like it!  I hope you like these colors and will play along with us!

Happy stamping!

  Hi stampers!  I guess I only post on Fab Friday days now :-)  That's 2020 for you, right?  We have started virtual kindergarten here so getting anything else done now is a struggle!  I mean, I wasn't good at blogging before all of this, LOL!

I do ask as you're reading, to pause for a minute to honor the victims of 9/11.  It's a day we will never forget.  It is also my sweet Grandma's birthday and I always hoped that having such a sweet lady born on that day helped to cancel out at least a tiny bit of the sadness.  She was a truly special lady!

Moving on, here is the challenge for this round!

And here's my card!

I used the stamp set in the Joy Of Sharing Card Kit from the Holiday Catalog.  Don't forget to use your kit sets outside of the kit!  And my label was made using the Ornate Frames Dies which were from a Halloween bundle last year.  Just because they were for Halloween doesn't mean they don't make great accents for all kinds of other projects.  I'm making a mental note to get them out more often!  Look how great they are!

Make sure to check out everyone else's creations and play along!

Happy stamping!
