My Little Paper World

Hello Welcome! This week the Craftin Desert Divas design team has been sharing shaker cards. If this isn't a card you've created before it is a must try.  For my card I decided to create a little pocket using a mesh material.

During the day I get around 30mins 'me' time (if I'm lucky), so this card was made rather quickly, but I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. It's my first 'shaker' card, and I can see how fun these cards can be. I can't wait to make more cards like this (time permitted). I also had a colour using my TomBow Brush pens which have been lying around the craft room waiting to be used. I stamped with Unity Itty Bitty - Happy Chick Birthday.  I ended up printing out a 'happy bithday' sentiment because the sentiment that came with the stamp d...
