Hi there! Today I’m excited to join Pinkfresh Studio for their May Essential Release Blog Hop.
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.
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.
GIVEAWAY!
Pinkfresh Studio will be giving away the full April Essentials release on the Pinkfresh blog, and on their IG feed.

May 20, 2019 at 10:42 pmThe basic label frames make such an interesting shaker card. I’ve resisted getting the jewels becase I worry about how thick they might be, but seeing them in your shaker shows they are a must have.
