Today is all about Little Things from Lucy's Cards! Lucy creates the most AMAZING sequin mixes...if you've never seen them, make SURE you go & check them all out! AND....you are going to get the chance to win some! Giveaway details will be at the end of the post, so be sure to keep scrolling!
My first card uses the Rainbow Bright Diamonds mix. I seriously LOVE the dimension that these have, and they are SO fun in a shaker card! Here is how I know that! ;)
Just one quick tip about creating this card - the diamonds are a bit thicker than sequins, so be sure to give them enough room inside the shaker part! Other than that, this card is super easy to recreate!
Guess what? It also fits my current WCMD Rainbow Color challenge for Winnie & Walter challenge! There is still time to create a project & enter to win a $50 store credit - and I would love for you to play along!!
I've recently rebranded my photography business, and I mainly shoot engagements/weddings. I've been refining my client experience a lot since moving to a new city & basically starting over, and one thing I've been trying to do is add a more personal touch here & there. I've created a wedding experience guide that I get printed for newly booked couples & send to them as a little gift. I've decided it needs a handmade touch, and I think an elegant shaker card is the perfect option!
For this card I've used the Gilded Peach mix, along with the Clear Iridescent Jewels mix that comes in the She's So Lovely multi-buy pack.
These colors fit my brand perfectly, and what a fun little gift to give my newly engaged couples!!
Shaker cards don't always have to be bright, primary colors & created for kids. They look amazing in sophisticated colors and with beautiful & intricate diecut openings as well! There are so many options, and I'm just happy that shaker cards are still a "thing". I hope they never go out of style! :)

lovely shaker cards and have always thought Lucy had the best sequin mixes!!
ReplyDeleteWelcome back! I dont have any lucy sequins. They are so lovely.
ReplyDeleteWhat would a card be without sequins. I use them as embellishments and for shaker cards.
ReplyDeleteOh wow, thanks for the link, I never know that there are pretty sequins like those at Lucy's shop, fabulous! I love your shaker cards filled with those pretty sequins in different colors, so so pretty!
ReplyDeleteWow! Fantastic shaker cards!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm still learning how to make good shakers but I use sequins for embellishments as well!
How much fun are shaker cards. Yours are absolutely stunning! Thank you for sharing
ReplyDeleteLove your cards, shaker cards are my favorite
ReplyDeleteAside from shakers and just sprinkling on the front of cards, I like to stick them to double sided adhesive and put them behind a cut out like a die cut word so that they show behind. You can lay them out in just one color or put them in rainbow stripes, or colors that match the rest of the card. It takes a little time but it has a big pay off!!1
ReplyDeleteLea, what beautiful cards. I wanted to let you know that I read your story and I am so inspired by your strength and your passion. You are such a graceful example of strength.
ReplyDeleteTwo beautiful cards with a-mazing color and sparkle! SO pretty!
ReplyDeleteWhat amazing shaker cards! They're beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLove the cards. I am big fan of shaker cards and these are just gorgeous. I also love the sequin mixes that Lucy puts together. There is a great variety and I love the quirky names that she gives her mixes.
ReplyDeleteI use sequins in shaker cards of course. And I love using them for added bling on my cards. In fact sequins and pearls are the only embellishments I use.
ReplyDeletelove both your cards
ReplyDeletethe gold one is so elegant
thanks for joining us at HLS

I use sequins for accenting my cards and for shakers of course! I love adding them to my shabby and freestyle collage cards especially.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful CAS card, wonderful shaker. But I have some doubts whether the shaker can be considered a single-layer card ...? This does not change the fact that your card is stunning.
ReplyDeleteThank you for joining us on HLS CAS.

ReplyDeleteI love making shaker cards with sequins. They are so fun to make and give!
ReplyDeleteThe better question for me is "what don't you put sequins on?" ;) Because I am sticking them on everything I create. Ha Ha......I think they add so much to a card, tag, etc. AND thank you for introducing me to Lucy's products. Definitely going to check them out! ;) It's all fun and games until the credit card bill comes in....wink.
ReplyDeleteWONDERFUL cards!
ReplyDeleteLOVE your rainbow, ADORE your GORGEOUS congrats card - WOW - it is SO ELEGANT and it looks like it is filled with precious gems, such a PRECIOUS surprise to the newlweds!
I use sequins all the time, from being an accent of 3-7 on a card, to 100's filling shaker windows, they are such a versatile embellishment that works perfectly with beads and confetti :)
Stunning cards!! Full of sparkles and magic :)
