SSS February 2015 Card Kit #2

Evening all! I'm back with another card from the card kit - and I've managed to squeeze in a couple more today too so I'll be back with more - having a kit definitely seems to be a mojo booster for me :-)

This one is a bit of a masculine style valentines card, and it's a shaker too! I've used cardstock, papers & sentiment stamp from the kit and added in some Freckled Fawn wood veneer hearts and twinkly twine. 

I've used this weeks Freshly Made Sketch, Virginias View 'Shaker Card' challenge, Just Us Girls 'Love' theme and also the current Card Concept photo, I've used the love theme plus woodgrain. 

Thanks for looking!

Supplies;

Papers, cardstock & sentiment stamp - Simon Says Stamp February card kit

Wood veneer shapes - Freckled Fawn

Ink - Stampin' Up 'Early Espresso'

Die - X-Cut 'Nested Hearts'

Other - acetate & twine

Happy Birthday Dad!

Hi! It's not actually his birthday til the beginning of June but I'll have a newborn by then and I'm not really sure how much downtime (if any) I'll get! I've made a shaker card using this weeks My Favourite Things sketch. I'm also going to enter into this weeks Seize the Birthday Anything Goes challenge and the 3 little circle/letter elements on the sketch count towards the Three Thirds theme on CAS-ual Fridays too. I thought these little letters would look fab in cork in the circle elements. I used the Scattered Stars die to make all the little stars for the shaker window, not too sparkly for a male card :-) Thanks for looking, I hope you like it!

Supplies;
Papers - Lawn Fawn 'Lets Polka'
Dies - MFT 'Scattered Stars', 'LLD Little Letters' & 'Sentiment Strips', Simon Says Stamp 'Holiday Shapes' and circle & square Nestabilities
