Shaggy Dog Shaker Card (Craft Roulette #301 Submission)

Hello!

Happy New Year!  Wishing you all the best in 2026 with tons of time to craft!  My first card this year is a Craft Roulette submission.  If you haven't heard of Craft Roulette, it's a live paper craft challenge on YouTube at 7:10 EST.  It's a great way to stretch your card-making muscles!  We have a lot of fun and laughs along the way!

Mary Gunn Funn spins the wheel to decide our parameters each week.  This week was Project:  Appreciation Card,  Color: Apple Farm,  Element: Silhouette, Random: An Old Product.  There was a bit of an extra challenge this week by Jenn Gross to make it a shaker card and she'll donate .25 cents for each one to the Elderly Dog Rescue in honor of Mary's son Stephen's dog Furgis.

I had no problem with the old stuff!  The corner punch (unknown) is ancient as well as the Thank You window (Creative Creations).  I also used an old Martha Stewart edge punch to make a little stencil for the pawprints and a Simon Says Stamp Dog Die that's discontinued.  Anything else I used is linked below.  

I don't normally do 5 x 7 cards, but was "forced" to because the thank you die was too wide for an A2:(. That's a lot of real estate for me to cover!

I added a shadow to the dog die, but the silhouette wound up being the pawprints.  I was hoping the thank you would be, but it's a drop shadow LOL!

I'm planning some tutorials soon as I have a little time off work this month.  So watch this space!

Take care and I'll be back soon!

Even More Ways To Add Snow On Your Projects!!

Hello!

Hope all is well with you!  I’ve been wanting to do a follow-up video about looking into more products that might be good to make snow.  Some things worked better than others, so hoping this will be helpful when you’re trying to find the right materials for the technique you’re doing.

All the findings are in the video linked below, but here are the charts.  Many of the supplies from both the OG (original video) and this one are linked below as well.  I will also link the actual OG video at the bottom;) These aren't duplicates.  The original video uses a lot of different products that are mostly still available!

Here are most of the supplies I used:

I hope you found this helpful!  Take care and I'll be back with a tutorial soon!
