Hallo,
Welcome to another Gina K Center Stage Alumni blog hop!!!!
If you are following along the hop then you should have come my way from the very creative Vicki - www.allidoisstamp.blogspot.com/2011/09/gkd.html
If you want to start at the beginning then go to the main Stamp TV page here - www.stamptv.ning .com
Our challenge this time was to create a Fall Shaker card. I had not done one of these in a loonngg time!!! I like to recycle and use the plastic that comes with small packages like for brads and ect - I will show you later in this post....but Gina has done 2 awesome videos on how to do shaker cards and I will leave the links below for you to check out.

Also Gina is giving away a stamp set (value 24.95 or less) for one lucky commenter along the hop tonight so make sure to leave everyone a little bit of love and you may win!!!
OK - on 2 my cards - yup had so much fun I did 2 :)I also decided to use the 'black magic technique' from this weeks monday challenge - and yes you can find info on how to do this technique along the right hand sidebar at Stamp TV.
I used the Fanciful Fall set. Stamped the images in white and let them dry - then colored over them with prismacolor pencils. The shaker section is the white card base sponged with distress inks and stamped over the top. I used orange seed beads for both cards.
The 'black magic' on the first card was done on dark brown cardstock and the sponged section - for the second card it was done onto kraft cardstock and black for behind the shaker.
Before I show you a bit about how I did my shakers I will show you where to head next on the hop....Next up is the talented Sharri - www.istamp4u.blogspot.com/2011/09/were-shaking-it.html
Have fun!!!!!
Have fun!!!!!
The first picture shows the plastic piece I used for the first shaker card - I use double sided tape to stick it down.I can often find one of my Spellbinders dies that will be a close fit for cutting a hole for the shaker part (next pic) but if not then I just measure and use my exacto knife(or scissors)
Sometimes if its not a perfect fit I will add little strips of matching cardstock so it blends in better.
Sometimes if its not a perfect fit I will add little strips of matching cardstock so it blends in better.
And the last pic shows how I taped everything down so I could sponge the opening.....
All for today!!! Take Care!!!!

The black magic technique is perfect for a Fall/Halloween card. I've used plastic packaging before for shaker cards too.
