Hello and welcome friends!
I'm beyond excited to be guest designing with the
ladies at Seize the Birthday!
For the current challenge, the topping is to add a star on
your birthday themed cards. But if the topping isn't your
thing, anything goes is good too, as long as it's a birthday card.
Here's what I came up with:
A star shaped shaker balloon? Yes please!
The shaker was made by die cutting the frame 8 times, and the solid
shape once from the blue card stock and again from acetate.
Seven of the frames were stacked and glued onto the solid blue piece.
I added the confetti then glued the acetate piece onto the stack,
then the last frame. I found some fun balloon paper for the
background panel to use also!
Here's the finished inside:
Thank you, ladies, for the honor of guesting with you!
Thank you for visiting, and I hope to see you joining in
the 'Add a Star challenge' at Seize the Birthday!

Wow! All of that extra layer really looks great here. So much dimension and a shaker too. Nice to choose a color from that background paper too. It is a fun card.
ReplyDeleteI just love shaker cards and your home made shaker star is the best! It looks like it's plastic! Pretty layering of panels behind it - a very festive look! Julia xx
ReplyDeleteWonderful shaker card, I struggle making these so I'm impressed by yours! Love the colourful background layers too. Thankyou for guesting with us at STB, Cathy x
ReplyDeleteSuch a fun shaker, Chris! I agree with Julia, it looks plastic which is even cooler. So happy to have you with us!
ReplyDeleteThanks for guesting with us. This card is so fun! My grandson turns 1 in a week - I just might CASE this :)
ReplyDeleteI assumed this was one of those premade shakers. Eight layers is awesome...and adhered so precisely! Wonderfully fun birthday card. So happy to have you!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun birthday card with that star shaker element. Glad to have you as our party guest.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun star shaker card. And I love that the confetti matches the DP in the background. Thanks for being with us as a Surprise Party Guest.
ReplyDeleteOh, wow! So many pieces of die cuts for the start! But totally worth it - it really brings in a splash of fun to the card. Love your fab card design with the different papers as well. Thank you so much for this gorgeous inspiration for us at Seize the Birthday challenge!
ReplyDeleteLove your fab star balloon shaker card, Chris! Like everyone else, I assumed it was pre-made plastic. Looks great! Thanks for being our surprise party guest.
