I hope that you all had a nice Saturday! Of course being at the Stamp, Ink, Paper Store how could I not?! Renee has a two day crop this weekend and I love to sit there and chat with the ladies! My friend Ebony stopped by to get some lawn Fawn goodies and I forgot to put something in her bag so when she came back I gave her a free pack of sequins. Love my customers! I left the store around 4:00, another perk of being the boss! LOL! I had to go to George’s and get Heather’s car, which I’m happy to report has a nice new windshield, and go and pick them up from the airport. It started to rain while I was there and I parked miles away. My trusty Dark Sky App told me that the rain would stop in five minutes and sure enough it did! I think George was a little amazed! We had a nice uneventful ride back to George’s and they got me a Starbucks cup from New Orleans as a thank you! YAY! I had a little dinner at my Parent’s and my Dad made spinach dip, so much for the diet! When I got home I decided that I would unplug for a few and just watch a movie. I never do that, turned the iPhone on silent and just enjoyed Olympus Has Fallen. Now there is a one action packed blow everything up movie! Today I have a lot of administrative things to accomplish and a few projects that I want to get finished at the store! What’s on for you today?
My card that I have to share with you today is one that I made using the June My Monthly Hero Kit. The card base is Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock. I took a piece of Real Red and used the We R Memory Keepers Dotted Next Level 3D Embossing Folder to add some hearts to the strip and adhered it to the card with E-Z Runner. My tag is cut from a piece of Kraft using the tag die that comes with the kit. I also used the window die to cut out the front of the tag. A few more of the dies included in the kit are cut from some Daffodil Delight, Shadow Curious Metallic and Pluto Stardream Curious Metallic. To make my shaker pocket I used the We R Memory Keepers Fuse Tool and one of their 12×12 Page protectors. I have to add that I also have the Silicone Mat and it makes a big difference when using the Fuse Tool! Before I sealed the pocket I added the metallic die cuts and some Silver Sequins. It’s then adhered to the inside of the tag with Scor-Tape. On a piece of Solar White 80lb I stamped the Sending Love and some hearts in Red Royal Ink with the included Photopolymer Stamp Set and adhered that to the inside back of the tag. The two Daffodil Delight die cuts are adhered to the outside and some Hemptique Natural Hemp Cord is tied thorough the hole. Just to make it a little more fun I used Magnet Tape to secure the tag to the card, that way if someone wants to take the tag off and hang it they can! I love the fun goodies included in this month’s My Monthly Hero Kit especially that cool Tag Die! I hope that you like my cool little shaker card! Thank you oh so much for visiting with me today! Have an awesome Sunday! 🙂

Oh my Justin! The little Daffodil Delight die cuts are so cute! Of course your shaker cards always are THE BEST! I love those 3D embossing folders! How neat that Hero Arts monthly kits includes dies. I didn’t realize that any of the available monthly kits contained dies. Hmmmmmmm, I’ll have to check that out. All in all a delightful fun card today. Did it take 4-ever to make this one?
Had a crazy evening last night. First of all it felt like we had a small earth tremor come through which scared the heck out of me. I thought someone had kicked in the back door until I felt the little floor vibration. Then at about midnight I looked out the window and saw flames coming from next door so I called 911. As it turns out my next door neighbor, that I don’t even know, was illegally burning a bunch of construction trash. By that time my heart was racing so I didn’t get to sleep until about 3:30 a.m. I’m glad the hubs will return this afternoon. He handles all that nonsense much better than I do. PHEW! Hope things stay quiet and boring until he gets back. Wishing you a Spectacular Sunday. Love and hugs, XXOO 🙂
Thank you Grace! The Hero Kit this month had lots of dies in it! You definitely have to look at the Hero Kits, but be warned, they sell out quick! It actually didn’t take that long and the Fuse made making the shaker pretty easy!
Oh my! You certainly had an interesting evening! I don’t know why people feel it necessary to do things that they know they aren’t supposed to do! Good that you called, it could have been a real house fire! Did you ever find out what the tremor was?! I’ll bet that you will glad to have hubby back home! Wishing him a safe journey! Have a lovely day my friend! Love and hugs to you! XOXO 🙂
Really awesome creation as usual. I love the double tag effect. I so LOVE!!!!!! the Fuse Tool. It makes shakers so easy. Just made one yesterday. Well our weather dropped 30 degrees overnight, not complaining, enjoying the cooler no humid weather. Great for creativity. Take care
Thank you very much Linda! That Tag Die is really neat, and different! Love that! The Fuse Tool is great once you get the hang of it! It was nice and warm here but it’s a little chilly here this morning and it has been so windy! Have a nice day! 🙂
Great card today, Justin. You know I love all your shaker cards and this one has lots of interesting elements. I may have to try the fuse tool. It sounds like fun if it shortens the time to make a shaker card. I’ll have to check in to the Hero Arts kits. It seems like there are so many very fun new items appearing on the market now. Too bad money doesn’t grow on trees!! lol Have a great Sunday doing your favorite things at the store.
Thank you HJ! I thought that it was a fun change from the usual shaker! The Fuse Tool is really good but I find it works so much better with the silicone mat. I love Hero Arts, they have a nice selection if different styles! Oh how I wish that money did grow on trees! LOL! You have fun Monday! 🙂
What kind of silicone mat do you use with the fuse tool?
I used the We R Memory Keepers Fuse Silicone Mat.
