Hi and welcome to Card Creations, Vol. 11 Blog Hop! If you arrived from Kalyn Kepner's blog, you are on the right track. If not, you can start the hop from Paper Crafts Connection. I am so honored to be hopping with this group of uber talented ladies and that made me really nervous, too! =) Without further ado, here are my cards for the hop.
We were to work with the fabulous Free Downloadable Sentiments from Card Creations, Vol. 11. I chose to work with this fun and festive birthday sentiment.
Inspired by the confetti on the image, I printed it as is (without resizing) on a piece of vellum, stitched three sides of it to a piece of white cardstock and filled the pocket with die cut paper confetti and sequins before sewing it shot. A super easy shaker card! =)
For my second card, I printed the sentiment twice and used the second copy as "embellishments" for decorating the card.
A Couple of my favorite washi tapes and sequins helped finishing the design.
That's all I have. Here is the full hopping list:
- Angeline Yong Jeet Leen
- Jocelyn Olson
- Kalyn Kepner

More wonderful inspiration!
Thanks so much for the chance to win!
I'm so grateful to see how the free digi images are used. I haven't done any digital cardmaking, so seeing the sentiments "in action" is so helpful. You've made it look like I can do it, too! ;-) Getting 2 great cards as inspiration pieces is like getting to take home the leftover cupcake. Love the vellum and confetti. I know a number of kids (of all ages) who'd love getting that.
Love this idea! Great idea for a shaker type card to put a fun element in a birthday greeting! And LOVE your washi tape card creation too. Thanks so much for sharing with us!

I never know where to use washi tape. Your cards look so awesome. I'm going to work with the washi tape this week so I will be more comfortable using it.
OK, so you made a card for me, right? I love vellum, confetti, sewing and yellow on cards - check! And I love how the washi tape matches the frosting on the cupcake (+ more confetti - yippeee!) Thanks so much for sharing! I'll be sure to come back on my birthday and pretend these cards are for me;-)
