Christmas is Shakin'!

Hello Holiday Lovers!

On tap for you today is a shaker theme. You saw the first card in the series in my last post.

What happened was I purchased the Photo Sleeve Fuse Tool an embarrassing cougheen months ago and have only just gotten around to trying it out. Holy cow feathers, is it ever cool for making shaker sleeves, trousers, and even shapes! It's a heated stylus that fuses seams into acrylic craft envelopes, so your finished shaker is not bulky like it is when using foam tape. A bonus for mailing!

You can buy it from various vendors and there are great videos on You Tube. No one's paying me to say so, but I love it. So do Hammy and the Hamettes, which is fine with me as it keeps them from under my feet!

And away we go. To save us both time, I'm just posting the photo graphs. If you'd like any details, pop me an email. FYI, I used a very fine flaky glitter for some of the shakers which left a beautiful film of flakes on the acrylic.

Challenge: City Crafter: It's All About Winter:
Challenge: Merry Monday Christmas Challenge: Candy Canes:
 
  

 and the inside:
Challenge: Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: Holly Jolly Christmas:
Challenge: HLS CAS Challenge: Favorite technique. My new fave is shakers:
 
I hope you've been inspired! It's not too early to begin working on next year's cards!

~~~

Enjoy your day! No, seriously, enjoy! LITS!*

    Ohhhhh what beauties Darnell - are we ever going to see a card without a shaker element now?? ;-). Of all of them, the white with red trim and a tag is my favourite.
    So glad to hear Hammy has the Hamettes well into their training to help.
    Blessings

    I love them all, but the one before last would have to be my favourite.

    Hope you have a good day. Sue

    Methinks you've had fun with your fuse tool! I've got one and used it, but not for shaker cards. Go figure!!! MUST get it out again though, as I've been saving up sequins and beads to use with it:) LOOOOOVE all these cards. I must say, the ones with a pop of red are very attractive to me:):)

    Hi there, so glad we bumped into each other the other day and had a little chat! My oh my how I love all these shaker cards, how I wish i could morph into a fly (perhaps the butter type) and come flit to your shoulder to observe your day! You create so wonderfully and fit so much in to your time....can you tell I am a tad jealous. There is a years work here for me! Your little gadget sounds very clever too! One question ...is the sweet in the card real? Can't choose a favourite as I love them all. xx

    I got one for my birthday and have used it once - oh I love it, but need to practice more with it!! These are all fabulous examples of why it is so great. My husband, the railway modeller, calls it the low heat soldering iron......... I just call it FUN! You've inspired me, and yes, I think I'll be making Christmas cards for next year as soon as I've got this year's lot out of the way :) xx

    WOW...you really must love that tool to make SO many shaker cards Darnell! But hey, you can never have too many shaker cards as everyone loves them! Including me!! I think I just may have to check out this tool though, because I haven't made any shaker cards in a looooooong time because no matter how hard I try, the sequins always stick to the foam adhesive (or glue). Thanks for the reminder about the tool and for all the inspiration...love every one of them!! :0)

    Will be MIA for the next couple of weeks. We are hosting Christmas this year so will be busy with that (it's a fabulous kind of busy). Company staying over too so that means a good hard 'company's coming' cleaning! Sorry if I already told you this. Will blame it on the spiked egg nog we drank last night!

    Oh no! Something else I'm going to have to get. You probably made all seven cards in the time it took me to make my one snow globe angel shaker. They are all lovely and the fact that they are flatter for mailing is a bonus. Question about the mints. They look real but they can't be, right?

    Stunning...every. single. one! I think the Fuse people should hire you as the Fuse Ambassador (FUSE-adore) ...or at least give you a commission for what appears will be a ramp up in sales after we've seen the magic you've created. I think my supplier in my home city may carry these...and we are heading north for Christmas...You are such an inspiration (and an enabler *grin*)

    Oh my goodness! In love with all of these shakers, designs, and colors. I also bought the fuse, but yet have had no time to try it out, but you just gave me inspiration to try it out.

    Wonderful shakers!! Especially the star one you entered over at Happy Little Stampers. Great technique with the Fuse thingy! I love the colours, especially the rich sparkly red. Thanks for joining us at Happy Little Stampers.

    Very nice shaker cards! You must love that new tool. I've seen it posted but never thought about buying one. You've done a great job with it!

    I was debating about purchasing a fuse tool. So now You may have convinced me to get one. My crafting buddy has one, but she hasn't used it yet. Maybe I can convince her to bring to craft night sometime and show me how it used! That would definitely help me in deciding if I want to get one or not. (Of course, she hasn't even used it herself yet) (Maybe this would give her a little nudge to use it...smile)

    I'm a big fan of shaker cards, and I especially like the gingerbread one that you made...because it showed up in my mailbox! Another treasure from you. (I keep them all, and show them to every person who comes to my home! Thank you, so much. Hope you have a very special Christmas!!! Blessings, JIll
