Welcome! Today I’m on the Alley Way Stamps blog sharing a how-to video using their adorable Halloween stamp set, Ghoul-Friend.
I created a floating shaker card. The basic idea, is that the shaker is suspended in between two layers so it looks like it’s floating. You can get a better look at the card by watching my YouTube Tutorial, below, or on my channel.
I’ve been on a total oval binge lately. I feel like 90% of the projects I create these days, start at my computer in Silhouette Studio where I’m setting up a stitched oval cut file. To me, ovals kind of feel like a window into a story.
For this card, I knew I wanted to try a floating shaker idea that I’ve been contemplating for a while. I’m so happy that it turned out well and that the sequins do really look like they’re floating when you shake the card! Also, I think the charcoal glitter paper is the perfect finishing touch for a glam Halloween card.
