International Highlights Winners Blog Hop - August 2022 / Stamping With Melva

International Highlights Winners Blog Hop - August 2022

Monday, 29 August 2022

I’m so excited to be featured in the the International Highlights Top Ten Winners Blog Hop hosted by Kylie Bertucci. I was selected to participate in this hop by finishing #10 in the August 2022 International Highlights. Thank you to everyone who voted for my watercoloured pomegranate card.
I created this fun shaker tag card using the Stampin' Up! Celebrate with Tags Bundle.  When I first saw this bundle I knew that this die was perfect for making Shaker Tags which are perfect as a tag or also to add to a card base.  Isn't this pretty in Blushing Bride and Black and White.  The For Everything Fancy Sequins are so pretty with pink, white, iridescent and gold sequins and even little pearls!  The package includes blue and green ones too!  So fun!  
InstructionsCut Blushing Bride card stock 4 1/4" x 11" and score at 5 1/2".  Fold on score line to form card base.

Stamp hearts in Blushing Bride ink and adhere to the inside of the tag
Cut Window Sheet 2" x 3" and adhere to the rectangle opening.

Add sequins - note do not over fill or you may have issues with getting the shaker to seal and the sequins will spill out!  (Trust me, I speak from experience :)! )
Peel off backing on foam strips and close tag to seal in the sequins.
