International Highlights Winners Blog Hop - February 2023

Monday, 27 February 2023

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 #1 in the February 2023 International Highlights. Thank you to everyone who voted for my By The Bay Spanner Fold Card.

Today I'm sharing a fun shaker card I made using the Rain or Shine Suite of products from the Stampin' Up! January to April Mini Catalogue. I love these little critters and love how this card turned out. The turtle and bunny are cut out from the Rain or Shine Specialty Designer Series Paper. How easy is that!

This shaker card using a Medium Clear Envelope. This is such a fun and easy way to create a shaker card.
