Now unto my project...

For my project, I created this great little shaker card! I bought it from the Silhouette Store a while back. I used the hollow layers it came with but ended up having to use some foam tape as well to make it thick enough for the candy. I stamped my sentiment with a new one I just got from Jaded Blossom. The tag and the sentiment on the tag is also JB.

Gonna Party! It's Connie's Birthday! Let's go!

For my project, I made a really fun Shaker Card! This is my 1st one ever...its not perfect, but i'm very pleased with it!

I used my Silhouette to cut more of my project. The card and envelope is a set from the Sil. Store, a7 size.

The shaker tag came from SVGcuttingfiles. Ann has such cute files in her store! I stamped the inside of the tag with Jaded Blossoms "Birthday Treat Tags". I put some sequins inside the tag to "shake" around. The candle flame is embossed with a swirly cuttlebug folder that i have (i'm sorry, i can't remember the name of it)

I added a small bow to the bottom and put a faux stitch border around the card.
