Wishing You the Happiest Birthday - February MFT & Friends Feature!

 


Hello! It's time for the February MFT and Friends Feature! The new release is available now for purchase so be sure to head on over to the MFT Online Boutique and shop! And don't forget to stop by the MFT Blog for all the details, more inspiration, and a chance to win a prize!




Balloon Cover-Up Die-namics is PERFECT for a shaker card and I'm here for it! I also wanted to use Happiest Birthday Stamp Set and thought it would work great as the background. 



To begin, I cut Balloon Cover-Up from Eiffel Tower card stock and added the balloons using Fire Coral, Candied Yam, and Caribbean Sea card stocks. The shaker window was completed by adhering clear acetate card stock on the back using 1/8" Scor Tape.



The shaker element was created using foam tape, Star Pops Die-namics, Polka Dot Pops, and seed beads in the card stock colors, stamped Happiest Birthday Stamp Set on Sweet Tooth card stock for the back and closed it up.




The shaker element was adhered to a Sweet Tooth card stock base and it was done!

And there you have it! Thanks so much for stopping by! See you soon, now go SHOP!
