Poppystamps January 2026 Challenge

 Since the month is winding down and all my DT projects are done until
February first I had plenty of time this week to have a bit of fun with a challenge
or two.  I saw the fun challenge at Poppystamps was Shake It Up
and it's been eons since I made a shaker, so long I almost forgot how!!
I have been wanting to do their challenges since forever
so my goal is to try and do it monthly this year, we will see how that goes!
I kept my design pretty simple and let my Poppystamps die
take center stage!

I have a love for their Nordic collection and die cut my
Nordic Fanfare Butterfly from a scrap of white card stock
then inked with a few inks.  I used a flower die to cut the opening
for the shaker and filled it with some tiny little hearts.
I used a rub on for the sentiment and a patterned vellum under the
shaker cut out, both hard to see except IRL.
And the white strip you see on the left, is a glare from my camera,
honestly it is NOT there.


Here is a picture of the card without the strip in the photo above.

You still have a day to join their fun challenge but you'd better get busy
as it ends soon!!

A pretty in pink breath of spring. I don't know a soul who would not delight in receiving this sweet loveliness. Of course, the butterfly is the star, but those teensy hearts behind the blossom frame make this a whole fabulous package!
