Sci-fi, bad movies and shaker cards. Yes it was time to make a birthday card for my other half again. This time I went straight for This Island Earth aka Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Movie and created an interocitor.

Valves shaker
This was made for a friend who is a radio geek (among other things) — hence the valves — and whose eyesight is bad enough that I always make an effort to put extra texture or interactive elements in; this one is basically a full-size shaker.
Vellum shaker
The bonus lessons for the wrap-up day of the Clear and Sheer card class were on shaker cards. I’ve made a few shaker cards in the past, but I’ve always used acetate for them; it had never occurred to me to use vellum, so I had to give it a go.
Birthday: Crocuses
Create A Smile is celebrating its second birthday and this month’s challenge is, fittingly, to create a birthday card. That gave me a really good reason to finally ink up the crokisses stamp set, which I absolutely love, but haven’t got around to actually using yet… I also decided that a shaker card would work nicely with the layout I had come up with.
Easter: Jump rope bunny
I have thought of so many different designs for this month’s challenge image in the last three weeks, but I wasn’t really happy with any of them. Then I finally came up with one that I actually liked enough to make.
Happy Day card: Shaker tag
What:
I bought a fuse tool a little while ago, but I hadn’t got around to trying it out. It seemed daft to get these things and leave them unused so I pushed myself to give it a go. And I’m really happy with the results.
Christmas card: Mice shaker
What:
Cute critters are a must-have for any card for my mum. I spotted these mice a while ago and knew I had to make mum’s Christmas card with them, but it’s quite a skinny image so I had to come up with a way of using it on a card and not have it look lost. That’s when the idea of making it into a shaker card came to me.
