OCC Wild Card-Shaker card

Hi there is a storm hitting Seattle. The rain is on and off now and hope it wont cause too much damage and please.....no powder out. please. Stay dry and safe everyone in Seattle.

I made a shaker card for Online Card Classes - Wild Card. Today is the last day. You can still sign up and login t watch the videos anywhere. Only the forum and galleries will be close after today.

Shaker card is one of my favorite interactive card style. You can use different shape(circle, oval, rectangle, square), multiple windows and put lots of different elements to shake around. Sequins are trendy so I have to make one using them.

Here is my Halloween shaker card. I am using Lawn Fawn booyah stamp set. Again. I know. I just love to put costumes on those little ghost.
This is my first try to put 2 windows on a card. It's so much fun. I love the spiders with sequins. I also add a little bit green and purple, just a tiny bit to add some shine.
 Close up to see my 3 little ghost hanging out to playing with the spiders.

Halloween Spinner card

I have a quick post today. I am inspired by Online Card Class - Wild Card.
I made this spinner card to decorate the candy for my kids. They love interactive cards and I try to make different theme projects to let them play with.  This is a quick easy one. I like to color whole bunch of stamped images all at once and always have left overs. (My kids color with me on our kitchen table. This is one of our favorite quiet activities.)

I am using one of my left over ghost from Lawn Fawn booyah stamp set and Spellbinders circle dies. With a pattern paper. This is a fun, quick project.

 See the ghost spin.
Thank you for visiting. Nicky~~

I cut the edge and adhere in the right corner. I add glitter  White Blizzard NUVO Crystal Drop.

Card 3: Trendy
I use the soft color tone inks and the die cut frame.

I stamp 3 pumpkins in Sweet Blush, Lemon Tart and Spring Moss. Stamp the smile in True Black and the stem in Smokey Shadow. Cut out and pop on card front with foam tape.
