my new favorite shaker card design + ppp blog day 2

Pretty Pink Posh has an adorable & playful new collection of cardmaking supplies and I'm thrilled to be joining day 2 of the blog hop to share ideas with you!

Before I show you what I made, there's more fun! There are 3 $30 gift certificates to Pretty Pink Posh up for grabs! Enter to win by leaving comments along the hop by 11:59pm PST of June 17th, 2024. The winners will be announced on the PPP blog.

Now let's talk cards!

I'm always obsessed with shaker cards but lately I'm especially smitten with shaker cards made by wrapping scrap plastic around a background to make a pocket! It's a great way to use stamp & die packaging and it's super easy!

For these cards I used the new PPP Utility Vehicles set. I LOVE the mail truck and some of the little images make fantastic shaker bits!

You can see the whole process in this video...


Your next stop on the hop is Jeannie Lieu and I know she is going to WOW us with something incredible!!!

And here's the whole list if you need it...


Thanks so much for hopping with us! Hugs!!!
Carly

P.S. Do you like the bright & bold coral background or the pale blue one better? I still can't decide, LOL!

Your cards are wonderful. I'm envious of crafters who make shaker cards, because I've never created one myself, but I think I'm inspired to give it a try.
Both of your cards and fun and I really like the sentiment. As far as a favorite, it's hard to decide; I think the red/orange background card is colorful and the truck stands out a little more, but I really like the white card too. The shaker in both brings each card to life.
Thank you for sharing your creativity.

I'm also having a tough time deciding between backgrounds. I think the greyish blue makes me focus more on the vehicle. I think the coral makes me focus on that gorgeous color. Good news: there is no bad choice!! Great work!
