Fast & Fabulous on Friday - Creating a Quick & Easy Shaker Card

TGIF!  Here I am on Friday with another Fast & Fabulous card for you.  Instead of a clean and simple card, I thought I would show you a quick and easy way to make a shaker card.  If you thought these were difficult, this video will show you just how easy it can be.

No Line Watercolor Technique......

 I recently held a technique class and this was one of the cards that we made.  Watch the video below to see how to make this watercolor flower without the appearance of any stampng lines.

Here is the inside of the card.  While I stamped off once for the textures using the Melon Mambo and Pear Pizzazz on the card, I used the Pear Pizzazz ink full strength on the Crumb Cake Striped Grosgrain Ribbon.

Center Step Card - Stampin' Up!'s Papillon Potpourri

Here's a card I came across that we did back in April but I just love it so I thought I would still share it with you.  The sentiment and border image are retired but you can certainly find something that would work!  This is a center step card with the butterflies in the center floating above the sentiment.  This was done by using small strips of window sheets and securing them to the back of the "step" where the sentiment goes.

Here is the inside of the card which gives you plenty of room to sign and write a birthday wish.

Here is a picture of the measurements for cutting and scoring for this card.

Double Pull Tab Card...

 Here is the next card in my Special Folds class and my next video for you.  This card is actually pretty easy to make - you just have to remember to place the fold of the card at the bottom, not the top!

Here is what the card looks like when you pull up on the linen thread.  Super cool, huh?  Here is the video on how to make this card:
