Birthday Style Shaker Cards

Nichole Heady used Birthday Style to make a shaker card here; I cased her design to make 2 cards - one for my nephew and one for my grand niece.



Birthday Style - Blues and Greens
My oldest nephew celebrated his 40th birthday in October, so I made him 
a fun and festive shaker card using blues, greens and silver star confetti.

 Spring Rain card stock and ink was used to was cut and stamp a  
Fabulous Frame die cut. Birthday Style images and sentiment were 
stamped with Blueberry Sky, New Leaf and Summer Sunrise. 

Two balloons were cut from white card stock and stamped with a coordinating image. Linen Thread was attached to each balloon and knotted to one side. Silver star confetti was added to the shaker portion of the card, and a few scattered onto the card base. The new Stitching Impression Plate creates some texture on the card front. A corner rounder was used to punch two of the corners.
A piece of white card stock was stamped with New Leaf ink, using the gingham stamp from Bitty Background Blocks and then the number "40" was cut with Block Alphabet Numbers. Big Birthday Wishes was used to stamp the rest of the sentiment in New Leaf and Blueberry Sky inks. The confetti image was stamped with Summer Sunrise ink.

Birthday Style - Pink, Purple, Aqua & Gold
One of my grand nieces will turn 5 in November, so I decided to make her a similar card, but used pinks and purples along with multi-coloured confetti stars.

This card has all of the same details as the first one - just a few colour 
changes and it makes a great card for a little girl!! (Aqua Mist, Raspberry Fizz, 
Winter Wisteria, Harvest Gold)
The shaker card uses multi-coloured star confetti. A pink and a yellow balloon were added to the front of the card and then thin ribbons were attached. (I used copic markers to colour white ribbon from my stash to create the bright colours). The Sunshine Impression Plate was used to create texture.
