Hi everyone! I used my Fuse tool over the weekend to make a shaker card and had SO much fun (if you can't tell from the video LOL) I couldn't wait to get this video and card edited to share with y'all:
This is a 4.25" square card.
I used MFT's new Lucky stamp set - and since I posted the video showing how I line up stamps with the coordinating dies I've been stamping all the images from a set and die cutting them all at the same time.
I made this card for Katelyn for Valentine's Day, and I wish I was filming when I gave it to her because her reaction was beyond adorable. She just loved the card (even more than the little necklace I'd put inside it for her LOL), and loved the shaker element - which big thumbs up to the fuse tool again b/c having the glitter SEALED inside the window like it is is a GREAT thing when giving a card to a toddler. She attempted a couple of times to take the card apart to see how it went together and to get at the glitter LOL.
I colored in all the images with my Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers, and coated them all with my Wink of Stella Clear to make them shimmery. To adhere them I used spray adhesive (since you can see the backs of them through the window - an even coat of adhesive just makes it all look better), but you could totally use something like a Xyron to adhere them (which is what I tried to do originally - but mine's been sitting for years (years and years) and the adhesive in it no longer works! I pulled out the whole roll in my little machine and it was all dried up).
I stamped one of the sentiments from the set (something I think of every day when I think about all 4 of my munchkins - I am lucky to be their mom!), and added some more of the stamped and die cut images from the set (am I the only one who thought of Lucky Charms cereal with the tiny images in the set? I used to always pick out just those and eat them, and never buy that cereal b/c my kids do the same thing and with the insane prices of cereal nowadays them wasting the rest of the cereal drives me bonkers LOL).
