Pompompurin Zip Bag shaker Card

Of the Sanrio characters, Pompompurin is probably one of my favorites, so when I saw the small Pompompurin zip bag (set of five) at Daiso; it was a no brainer to put it in my shopping basket.  I thought the image would be super on a card front so I carefully cut out Pompompurin and the cart with balloons.  Next I made a simple shaker card using Lawn Fawn card stock and printed vellum for the heart shaped window. All of these supplies are available at HM Ben Franklin Crafts along with the double stick foam tape that was used behind the heart opening to form the shaker element.  I left the double stick tape unexposed just above the heart so that the Lawn Fawn confetti could be filled in.  I glued down the cut out printed bag with small dots of clear glue.  Because I didn't like the white card front showing, I added strips of colored card stock to the edges of the card.  I am happy with this card that uses an inexpensive zip bag featuring the cute Pompompurin . (It was difficult to take a good photo of this card because of the glare. I had to use my cell phone and a computer that is not my regular one.)  Anyway, I hope you are inspired to incorporate images you love into your crafts....make yourself smile!

 

Pumpkin Carving Squirrels Shaker Card

As soon as I spied the Lawn Fawn  sparkling  Autumn leaf confetti, I knew I had to get it and make a shaker card.  Using a maple leaf die, I cut out a shaker opening, backed it with acetate and lined foam sticky tape around the opening.  I also put foam tape around the edges of the brown card piece so that the piece would be an even level on the card.  I took off all the sticky tape backings except the one on the top. After the front piece was adhered to the card, I filled the section around the leaf opening with the confetti leaves and removed the backing to the top sticky tape. 

Once the top piece was done, I worked on the Lawn Fawn stamped squirrels and carved pumpkins. The finished pieces were positioned on the card with sticky dots.  

For the inside of the card, I decided to use the cut out maple leaf (waste not, want not!).  I rubbed the leaf with some gold ink and added it along with a card stock message from my hoarded stash.  This card was easy and didn't require a lot of supplies.  I love the autumn season and can't wait to send this card to someone special!
