Hey there! Last night I finally created my final card for the May Online Class using Marquee Messages. The new catalog also has cool new dimensional foam strips, perfect for creating shaker cards, so I made today's card into a shaker:
Versatile for a girl or a boy, I used Pacific Point, Real Red, and Whisper White. I embossed the white with the Lucky Stars folder, then heat-embossed the marquee image on both Real Red and Pacific Point with white powder. I stamped the silver sparkles on the back side of Silver Glimmer paper, cut them out, peeled off the slick backing, then added with glue dots.
Oops! I just realized from the above picture the window sheet used for the top of the shaker is peeking out from the outside edge of the Real Red layer! I will fix that with just a snip or two of my scissors!
Some shakers have the greeting stamped inside the shaker behind the shaker "thingys", but after snipping the center of the Real Red marquee there wasn't much room left so I stamped "YOU ARE" on top of the window sheet with Staz-On ink.
I punched Silver Glimmer Paper with the Medium Star Punch, adding to my shaker with sequins from both the Brights and Metallic Sequin Assortments.
Here are the new foam strips in action! They come in long strips to lay along the edge of your shaker window, cutting them the length needed. Remove the top protective strip and they are ready to adhere to the card!
Inside I only added one word, "happy" from Endless Birthday Wishes, to the Marquee Messages words. I added a little bit of Clear Wink of Stella and called it done!
Again, Marquee Messages and the foam strips won't be available to order until June 1st, but you can order the rest of these supplies in my online store right now: www.carolpayne.stampinup.net
