Happy Valentine's Day everyone! How many of you handmade your valentines this year? I did and I have one I'd love to share with you. It combines candy sprinkles and the super popular geo pin icon, and the result is this fun shaker card.
Shaker cards can be filled with glitter, glass beads and lots of other tiny doo-dads, so why not candy sprinkles? For a photo tutorial on how to make a shaker card, visit this link.
Imagine this same card in the shape of a cupcake or a balloon filled with sprinkles -- how fun! I hope this idea will inspire you to find new ways to use candy sprinkles in your next shaker card!
To recreate this card, we are offering you a free electronic cutting file. CLICK HERE to download a zip file which contains a pdf preview, along with both an .svg and .dxf file. These files are compatible with Silhouette, Boss Kut, Pazzle and any other electronic cutting file that can read these file formats. Enjoy!
In celebration of Valentine's Day, we have a sweet gift for you! These three stamp sets are the latest series of stamps that I have created for Penny Black and are perfect for making the still popular chalkboard look.
For your chance to win this set of stamps, just post a comment before Thursday, February 20th at 6:00 p.m., sharing with us your favourite thing about Valentine's Day. Good luck!
Have a love-filled, wonderful day!
How cute is that card! I just love the sprinkles. Thanks for the inspiration AND chance to win. :D

I think it is important whether no matter what day, that we all tell those special people in our lives that we love them!

MY FAVORITE THING ABOUT VALENTINE'S DAY ...
is planning loving surprises for my family, from a handmade card that greets them in the morning to handmade little love-note tags tucked here and there in their schoolbooks/briefcase so they find them during the day unexpectedly.
