My fav holly chickadee again

I believe I have used this stamp a few years ago on this blog and in fact I sold this stamp at the Crafty Capers garage sale! I was rooting around my scrap bin and found a few of the chickadees leftover from whichever year it was I sent this image out.

I just received some Impression Obsession Shake It pouches and wanted to try them out. The premise of the pouches is to make shaker cards easier to make by giving you, the cardmaker a premade shape to put your beads, glitter etc in. I like shaker cards but they can be a pain if you make your own shape especially if you are using very tiny beads. Speaking from experience here!!

So I laid the plastic square on my colored image and traced out the shape on the cardstock then cut it out. I laid the pouch on my table added some mini beads into the shape then pulled the protective backing off the back of the pouch and adhered my image on the back of the pouch. I used a square Spellbinder to cut a window in my decorative cardstock and put the pouch in behind the decorative paper. I've taken 2 photos of the card so hopefully you can see what I am talking about. It is difficult to photograph with the plastic on the front.

I made a cool shaker card with a Stampscape stamp as well today but you will have to come into the store to see that one!

Thanks for looking!
