NOW...

Let's get started HOPPING !!

As the title of this month's Blog Hop is Autumn Fun, I decided that I would do things that are fun for me -- techniques.  Each day I will have a card or two that use a different technique.  My first technique is a Shaker Card.

 To make my card, I stamped the image on the right side of a piece of white card stock, carefully cutting out the pumpkins.  Then I stamped the image again on a small scrap and formed the shaker box with foam tape around the pumpkins.  After brushing the sides of the foam tape with baby powder, I added the seed beads and covered the box with acetate.  Then I glued it to the under side of the larger piece of cardstock, lining up the images.  I put additional strips of foam tape around the edge of the card stock panel so that it would sit flat on the card base.

Here's a close-up of the shaker portion of my card.

The MFP Stamp Shop set that I used on this card is the Pumpkins and Sunflowers mini set.
