You're Sweet

 This card was made using my Cricut and an image from Varada Sharma.  This is one of the Waffle Cone Ice Creams from the Sweet Summer Set.  I made this card for this fortnight's "Summer Fun" challenge over at Creatalicious Challenges.  I used the "Offset" feature with Cricut to do the card portion and also used the Circut to fussy cut the image.  I added some sparkle to the chocolate portion of the cone.

A few more misc. shaker cards

 I have REALLY been into doing this shaker cards.  They are just too much fun!  There are a few I've made that I have not shared yet.  So, rather than doing a bunch of different posts like I have been, I'm just going to share them all now.

For this one, I used a cute little cheerleader from The Paper Shelter that I colored.  One of my co-worker's daughter made the varsity team, so I made this one for her.

I've had this castle die for a while, this is the first time I've used it.  I thought it would go will with these CTMH unicorns.

Here is another one made using a pre-colored image from The Paper Shelter.

How about an old Bugaboo image - and who doesn't love a big cup of coffee in the morning, especially on a Monday morning?

This one was made using a balloon shaker element I got from Simon Says.  The paper is a fun pack from CTMH.  The sentiment is one I got from the dollar tree.

I made two shaker cards today...  The first one was made using almost only dies, but, I decided to add a stamped sentiment (inside and...inside).  LOL

This last one I made just because I wanted to use the tree die I just got off of Wish.  The pumpkin and the sentiment and the flag are all from Cricut.  The paper is from CTMH.

Hope you've gotten some sort of inspiration from this post...goodness knows there are a lot of shaker cards here.  LOL

Tangled Shaker

 I recently purchased, super cheap, on clearance, some fun paper from Cricut.  This is one of their Deluxe Paper packs called Disney Tangled, Rapunzel's Journal.  I grabbed a freebie image online of Rapunzle with her little chameleon friend.  This card was all cut out using my Cricut (except the final card base).  I added some gems and a bow, an dof course the shaker goodies.

Aging

 This is one of my favorite images and sentiments from Polka Doodles.  Embarrassing Moment.  Other than turning this into a shaker card, I kept this fairly CAS.

Watermelon Is my favorite!

 Another Shaker card using another image from the Paper Shelter.  This is a new image called The Sweetest Watermelon.  I used my Cricut to cut the watermelon in the corner and to fussy cut the pre-colored image.  I used a die to cut the butterfly on the left, the sentiment and for the ovals.  I mixed up several differnt sequins and beads for the shaker portion.  My final touch was the bow.

Happy Kitty, Pretty Kitty

 This is similar to the last one I posted.  I've just been having way too much fun with these shaker cards!!  This one was made using the precolored image and the paper from the Oh My! digi set from The Paper Shelter.  I had to add the crown charm, just because of the crown the girl is trying to put on the poor kitty.  LOL  I do not think my cat would sit in a stool like that, not even just for brushing, let alone bows and stuff.

For added texture I used some Glossy Accents on the brush and their eyes.  I also used a CTMH clear shimmer brush over the bows.

 I'm not sure why, but I really envy this gal!  I so badly want to hang upside down and play!  Aging with arthritis sort of stinks!  LOL

This image is from The Paper Shelter, it is called Upside Down.  I added two bows, some pearls and I used some dies for the butterflies.  I did a Faux Stepper Card for this shaker.  I added butterflies and rainbows along with some glitter inside the shaker.  To fit the challenge at The Paper Shelter I did add the wing charm.  The paper used is from the Deck The Palms paper pack at CTMH.  I love that one side is Christmas and the other side isn't!

Summer Days

 This card was made using a fun image from The Paper Shelter called Hammock Days.  I used some fun retired paper from CTMH along with a sticker sentiment from another set.  I added some flowers, pearls and hemp twine.  I have found that I really love this image for shaker cards!!  I added some fun summer sequins I found over at the Dollar Tree.

I Ate Glue

 I do not have any LOCAL craft buddies in my life - yep feel sorry for me!  LOL  Actually, I have an entire room overflowing (sadly, I mean this literally) with craft supplies and with my ADHD I almost NEVER plan a project in advance.  How the heck could I possibly go to someone's else's house to make cards?  Nope, couldn't happen!  How fair would that be to a crafty friend if they ALWAYS had to come to my messy craft room to do a project?  LOL

Anyway...I still love this new (this month) image from Jan's Digital Stamps Shop.  This one is called Crafty Friends (of course).  Can you believe there is not a drop of sparkle or gems on this whole card?  Neither can I!!  I did, however, get to use a charm I have had for a few years (the scissors).  Yay!  I also used a punch I very rarely use, again, Yay!  I added some twine and called it good!  The DPs are from CTMH's retired Blue Skies set.

I can't wait to see what you do with this fun set!  :)

Unicorn Shaker

 I used the CTMH sponge dobbers to colorize the white cardstock cut using the CTMH Multi Circle Windows. I also used a sticker and some confetti purchased at the dollar tree (or is it the $1.25 Tree now?). I added a fun stamp from Bugaboo (no longer around), a bow and some gems. I can't see it in the picture, but I did use a scarlet shimmer brush on the balloon and a clear shimmer brush on the eyelids, and a black shimmer brush on the eyes.

Round Birthday Fun

 I received this Scalloped Circle Frame/Z4636 die (the one in the center of the flower) today from CTMH.  It is absolutely perfect for making smaller shaker cards!!  I used the fun summer set, also from CTMH called Tutti Fruitti.  From this set You can see the pink scallop (pre-cut), the blue polka dot paper and the paper used to cut using the die.  I added leaves from another CTMH set's sticker pack.  I added some Recolections Polyester Glitter Butterfly I I found at Michael's Craft Store.    I added some gems around the center of the flower, just to add extra bling.  The sentiment was cut using my Cricut - Happy Birthday #M33C96.

Happy Bee-Day

 I ordered some new dies from Tutti Designs Christmas in July sale (all dies were 50% off).  This round Bee die was one that I got.  I used the Cricut to cut the sentiment.  I added some shimmer on the die itself using two different CTMH shimmer pens (the black and the yellow).  I added the lines "stitcing" around the square using the black shimmer pen as well.  The bee off to the left was cut using a CTMH digital file.  I added a black bow and some yellow gems.  Inside the shaker I used black glitter and gold/yellow sequins.
