How To Make A Shaker With A Hidden Gift Card Holder & Giveaway!!--Crafty Bunny Hop & Giveaway!


(Winner Winner chicken dinner!!!  Our winner is Trisha Podmore from Ohio, USA!  Congratulations!  It's on it's way to you now!!!)

Hello Friends!

I'm excited to participate in this hop and am giving away my project--a shaker card with a "hidden" Starbucks gift card!  Entry details are on my YouTube tutorial video.  The hop stops are listed near the bottom of the post.  All the stops are having giveaways!

Here is my project:  (Supplies are linked (afil) at the bottom of this post:)



...and the "hidden" gift card is actually made with a "zipper" die by Mama Elephant:



Here is the step-by-step YouTube tutorial:



Here's the basic "sandwich":  This deviates from tutorial a bit:) It's what it "should have been."  Tips for aligning are in video!

Layers 1-3, 6 & 9 used scalloped rectangle dies-

#1 (Top):  Patterned paper, egg diecut in center

#2:  Clear acetate sheet

#3:  Fun foam with adhesive on both sides, egg diecut in center

#4:  White side-fold card base with egg diecut in center

#5:  Shaker goodies (use powder bag for static)

#6:  Decorated, stamped back of window (the pink sheet)

#7: Back of card 

#8: Gift Card

#9:  Zipper diecut panel

To put together the back simply diecut the zipper where you want to put your gift card.  Adhere area around (but not touching zipper or gift card) to the back of the card base for easy removal by recipient.  Enjoy!

A Quick Peek Inside Simon Says Create 2019!!


Hi!

My dear crafty friends Wanda and Elesa and I had a great time at the Simon Says Create event near Columbus, OH.  We had a great time crafting, shopping and people watching (lots of familiar faces from the industry were there!)  I think there were 40 vendors participating and I was only able to get to a handful, but I wanted to share what I could with you!  

There are photos of the finished projects below with vendor links (afil) as I could never remember all the products and get this posted anytime soon!  The vendors not linked are available at Scrapbookcom and of course, Simon Says Stamp.

Enjoy!  Here is the video-




Here are the projects I made in one afternoon!  Whew!  I don't make that many in a couple months normally!!
