Follow Your Dreams

Hello everyone.

Oh my goodness its the school holidays!!

I wonder how long it will be before I hear the familiar phrase of "I'm bored".

Well I am very excited to share with you my first creation as a Stampin Up demonstartior.

When I was looking through the new catalogue and I saw the Follow Your Dream Bundle I just had to have it as part of my starter kit.  I am so happy I ordered it as I just love it.  Its just the prettiest stamp set I have seen in a long time.

If you are a follower of my blog you will know how much I love shaker cards.  So guess what?  I made this into one.


I started with a piece of white card stock and added some of the subtles collection ink.  I used blushing bride, so saffron and soft sea foam.

I then spritzed this using a little water and some shimmer ink that I had in my craft stash.


Once this was dry I stamped the image over the coloured area.
I then made my shaker part.  I cut the hole in the card using the circle die from the Follow Your Dreams bundle and glued a piece of window sheet behind.

To stop my sequins escaping I like to cut frames using a set of nesting dies rather than foam square as I find it easier.  To make my frames I used the stitched shapes framelits die.  I cut out about 6 and glued them all together.  I glued this around the hole and added my sequins.  


For the flowers I stamped these in black and used an Aqua Painter to add a little colour to the flowers.

I then cut the decorative centre from gold card stock. 

I finished my card with the die cut greeting and stamp from the set.
