Just Us Girls and Time Out (two of my fave challenges) have joined together. “Birds” is the theme and I knew I had a great stamp set, Pure Joy, from Pinkfresh Studio that would fit the bill. Since it was a Pinkfresh Studio stamp set, I added a frame to the card to meet their March challenge: “Frames.” Finally, I have another entry to The Flower Challenge with my square card. I’ve been keeping up with my #100DayProject, and although I used this stamp set when I participated with my first Create and Connect event, it’s the first time I’ve used it on my own.
I used some Pinkfresh Studio inks to color the image with the accompanying stencil. Ellen Hutson’s Essential Circles worked perfectly to create the frame. To keep the clean look of the card I kept it all white and decided not to add any embellishments.
I don’t often think to create a shaker card, but this seemed liked a good design for one. I frequently struggle with these, but this one came together so easily I may try this again soon! The clear sequins and drops were in my stash, but I’ve never been good about labeling such things so I have no idea who the manufacturer is. The sentiment was created with Betterpress using Spellbinders A Little Message. It’s always good to have another birthday card in my stash.
Lovely card – what a pretty design. I’ve not created a shaker card but recently saw a video on how to do a shaker fake, using a clear envelope.
Such a pretty card that really is “pure joy”. The shaker element is a lovely touch! Thrilled to see you in the Just Us Girls + Time Out galleries.

Karen, that is a really nice stamp and the way you colored the bird and the floral parts is so pretty! I love shakers and yours is just darling in the circle frame. The Betterpress sentiment is really pretty too! I just love this card and thank you for joining our JUGS collab with Time Out!!
I love everything about your card, Karen, from the wonderful stenciled image to the circle frame on the shaker bits, and on a square card. So that means I need to thank you three times since I’m on all of the design teams. So for Just Us Girls, Time Out and The Flower Challenge I thank you for sharing your wonderful card with us.
What a fabulous CAS shaker design Karen! I absolutely love the stamp you chose and the colouring is beautiful. Thank you for coming to play at The Flower Challenge! Vicky x
Karen, you’ve created such a beautiful card and turning it into a shaker was an inspired choice! Love the bright colors for the inking and then leaving the remainder of the card white. Just stunning! Thank you for sharing a second card with us at The Flower Challenge!
You make me wish I had that set! Love that the shaker takes up the whole card without being a full panel shaker! Perfect for our collaboration challenge at Time Out!
Wonderful scene and even more special as a shaker! Thanks for joining our collaboration challenge with JUGS! Hugs, Kate (DT Time Out)!
