Camp Create Day 3: Spectacular Shakers

Hello All,

Welcome back to Carson's Creations and thanks for stopping by! This is my second post again because I have been following along with My Favorite Things Camp Create every day this week (just scroll down for my Paper Play Sketches post). I have been enjoying each day because I am actually learning a new tip or technique from every video. Today's skill for Day 3 was Spectacular Shakers.

When I first saw the Camp Create title I was a bit disappointed. I have created shaker cards before and was never quite happy with my final products. The sequins would always get stuck to the side of the window frame or the depth was too shallow and the sequins wouldn't move.  After I watched the video by Laurie I felt more confident that I could make a shaker that worked.

Using white craft foam is brilliant! Lining up the circle you cut from the cover on top of the foam was wonderful. The best tip was using the static bag around the inside of the window. The rest just fell into place. 

I used the MFT flamingo die and Tickled Pink stamp set. The sentiment is heat embossed in white powder.

Here is Wednesday's badge.

Looking forward to Camp Create ~ Day 4. I wonder what the craft will be?!?!

Until tomorrow,

Georgiana

DoubleClick Skittles Challenge ~ House Plant Appreciation

Hello Crafty Friends,

Welcome back to Carson's Creations and thanks for stopping by! School went well with the students and they worked hard yesterday.  We are actually working on plants this week, which is perfect for today. It ties right into our DoubleClick Skittles Challenge. 

This Week's Challenge...

Flower, Tree, or Plant

Here is my Design Team project...

I used my new My Favorite Things goodies I just recently received (some for Christmas and some was happy mail with a return from Christmas). The scalloped background is from Blueprint #20. Then I created the background with Tim Holtz distress inks to create a grass and sky scene. These flowers are made from the Build-able Bloom set. I used Versa Magic ink ~ Pixie Dust, Tea Leaves, and Sea Breeze.

The sentiment is from My Favorite Things ~ Tickled Pink set.

I used a shell pink skittle for the center flower.

Now, I hope you will  join us this week for the "Flower, Tree, or Plant" challenge at DoubleClick Skittles. Be sure to check out the other projects by the Design Team.

Thanks for stopping by!

Stay Creative,

Georgiana
