Pinkfresh Studio May Essentials Release Blog Hop

Hi there! Today I’m excited to join Pinkfresh Studio for their May Essential Release Blog Hop.

Pinkfresh Studio-Basic Label Frames

This is what I’m called a multi-windowed shaker. I used hexagons from the Basic Label Frames die set to create the hexagon windows.

Pinkfresh Studio-Basic Label Frames

I backed the panel with acetate, doubled up on the foam tape to give these gorgeous crystals from the Crystal Mix room to shake and then added a die cut sentiment from the Essentials: Classic Words die set.

Here’s a video to show how I made this multi-windowed shaker.
