Ok, enough chatter, I have 5 birthday this month, I did one birthday yesterday. Now getting the rest ready to go. I made this birthday shaker card for my brother. He is 10 years younger than me. I used craft foam for my lift up for the sequins. Not much to say about this card as it is self explanatory. Hard to see the balloon shape in this picture, but I assure you it is a balloon. The items I used are down in the card recipe section. The pattern paper is a snippet, so if the Snippet Playground is open tomorrow, I will play along there.
Card Recipe:
My Creative Time Balloon dies-NBUS, Banner dies and stamp set for the "wish big".
Twine from my stash for the balloon string
mix of sequins from who know's where
Great celebration birthday card! I do see the balloon and love it in the shaker form. So pretty with that fun celebration paper too!

Wonderful shaker card Brenda - love the idea of the balloon!
ReplyDeleteI read somewhere that Zigs should be stored with the top uppermost, otherwise I would have just turned them upside down as well! Ha, I bet someone was having a laugh and it's OK to store them any which way really.

What a very clever way to make your shaker card! And I saw the balloon shape easily, cute as can be. Love how you've matched the balloon bling sequins to the colors of the stripe background too. It's a fun yet still masculine card. Good idea to use the craft foam too. Hugs MM

That is a perfect card for a guy. Everyone loves balloons and this fits the bill along with it being a shaker card. I think he wil like it. Five birthdays in a month is a lot! We have two months with three.
ReplyDeleteSo fun, Brenda ... birthday balloons are already so celebratory ... when combined with a fabulous shaker, they're even more so! Your brother will love this! Hugs, Anita :)
