Craftin Desert Divas January Release

Today I am so excited to be sharing my first official card

 for the Craftin Desert Divas digital design team!

This month they are releasing an adorable digital file called Koala Couple!

This sweet file is just in time for Valentine's Day and can be used for

any Love themed card or even a baby card!

It features an adorable Koala Couple but it could easily be interpreted as 

a mother or father with a baby.

Here is my card using this sweet new digital image.

The first thing I did was color those sweet koalas with my copic markers

and cut them out using my Scan n Cut machine.

Next I took the second largest Inside Scalloped Rectangle Dies

and cut out a frame using some pink polka dot paper.

Since I was making a shaker card I cut out a piece of acetate

that was slightly smaller than the frame for my window and adhered it as a window.

I backed the window frame with 2 layers of foam tape so I could

fill the well with all of the pretty sequins.

Before I added the sequins I stamped a sentiment from 

Mice To Meet You on the card base so that it would show through 

the window. The next step was to sprinkle some sequins around the 

sentiment so I could add the shaker window over them.

I used a mix of Sweetness and True Love Sequins.

Finally I laid the shaker window down over the sequins and the 

sentiment.  I positioned the adorable Koala Couple on the lower left

corner of the window and added some flower and leaf die cuts 

from the Inside Scalloped Circle Dies.

I had a lot of fun making this card.  Shaker cards are one of my favorite

kind of cards to make! I hope you'll check out the Craftin Desert Divas

Facebook Gallery for some more inspiration from the other 

design team members.  I'll be back next week with another

new release image and card to share with you!

Have a great day, I already am!
