Amazing birthday


Tomorrow we help a good friend celebrate her 90th birthday.
Her family requested "no gifts" but I wanted to make her a shaker card
since it's so much fun to make and I think she'll appreciate it.


I followed Julie's tutorial again and added sequins and wood veneer stars
into the pocket before I sealed the edges with washi tape. 
 
This time I used a sentiment from Happy Every Day, the stamp set
that came with the April 2013 Card Kit from Simon Says Stamp.

I hope Catherine likes it and I can't wait to see her shake it.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

    Huh, I don't think I've ever seen wood veneer in a shaker before ... great idea! A little more substantial than the usual stuff. The whole card is so very bright and happy! Lovely, Donna : )
