The back of the shaker was framed up with foam adhesive to make each window it's own shaker. The shaker wells were filled with heart confetti in three different colors! (The heart Confetti is older Honey Bee Stamps from my stash).
The Pinkfresh Studio Joyful Bouquet Die was used to die cut the florals. I love how one stamp, stencils, and die give you so many pieces for multiple cards. The florals were popped up with foam adhesive.
The panel was backed with a piece of acetate. A greeting from the Pinkfresh Studio Heartfelt Thanks Stamp Set was stamped on the acetate window with Cotton White StazOn Ink.
The back of the shaker was framed up with foam adhesive to make a shaker. The shaker wells was filled with heart confetti and other sequins.
Greetings from the Pinkfresh Studio Thrill of Hope Stamp Set were stamped on the bottom of each tag with clear embossing ink and heat embossed with Antique Gold Embossing Powder and Silver Embossing Powder.
The shaker window was backed with a small piece of acetate and star confetti was placed over the window. Double Sided Adhesive was placed around the tag to frame up the flat shaker.
The tag toppers were adhered to the top of each tag.

Currently I am doing a Friday morning Lives at 9 am CT. Replays will be on my YouTube Channel.
I have a few requests to edit the Lives. Currently I am not going to edit them. This is for a couple of reasons:
1) Lives are new to me and we are going to stick with this format for a bit. I personally love Lives. I haven't watched an edited Live so I reserve the right to reconsider in the future if I think it's something I can fit in my schedule.
2) I don't want to spend the precious hours I have for creating new content, editing a Live. I will be bringing the exact same amount of traditional content and videos to my channel. Lives/replays are in addition to that content.
If you want to join us for some real-time crafty fun each week I would love to "see" you there. Please make sure to SUBSCRIBE to my YouTube Channel and click the notification bell so that YouTube alerts you when I'm going live. I am trying to reach 100,000 subscribers so if you haven't subscribed yet I would SO appreciate it! I am grateful for my community on all the platforms!
