I have a LOT of July birthday cards to share with you and one Sympathy card. I'm not entering any specific challenges, just posting what I made with my new to me jar die and my first EVER shaker cards! Took me a while! But once I started, I couldn't stop. The real problem is that I actually have more cards to make! YIKES!
This one is my personal FAV - it's a male Birthday card for my Uncle Pete in New York.
I think the beads look like air bubbles!
Here's an artsy card for my sweet blog friend Char.
I added some sequins to the micro beads and glass glitter.
I just started going through my paper stash to find cute prints that would fit in the jar.
LOVE the silver micro beads with the colors.
Here's a card without the shaker jar for a Dear friend in Missouri.
That wood bird made the postage go up to $2.54! YIKES!
And this card is so special to me. One of our clients passed away. He's the man I used to make cards for to cheer him and his wife up. Her favorite color is yellow and his was blue.
I LOVE how the glass glitter with the blue water colored BG looks like water!
I am having the entire office and his caregivers sign it.
That's all for now!
Thanks for stopping by!

Absolutely gorgeous cards Sue, a real feast for the eyes! I love the shaker cards, I have never made one myself, but would love to try it. Your sympathy card is beautiful, and very thoughtful using the favourite colours of the this couple.
Oh, I am so glad you gave the shaker card a try! These are fantastic. Love the idea of the jar as a shaker. So, so pretty!
Shaker cards are so much fun, aren't they! I love the variety you made and how sweet you are to give them to your clients. These are all wonderful Sue!!
As for Finnabair, had to go this month bc August is going to be ridiculous for us. Too much going on and I'll be away all but 5 days. I would have loved to go with you. Next year maybe. I am taking a Tracy Verdugo at Donna's in late May and a follow up with Donna's Metamorphosis. Two birds with one stone. Wanna join me? :)
