Halloween Pumpkin Shakers - Two Ways

If you haven't seen the Queen and Co. Halloween Hoopla Shaped Shaker kit yet, you MUST check it out! (Everything is linked down below). I especially love the pumpkin shakers and I made TWO different cards with them. The first could be used for other occasions beyond Halloween.
I love how the pumpkin shaker is the star of the show on a small circle shaped card.
The second card is definitively Halloween-themed.
On the second card, I added a witch hat shaker from the same kit on top of the cute pumpkin.
Want to see how I used two shaped shakers on one card? Check out this video, where you will also see all the elements included in the Halloween Hoopla kit:

Poppystamps and Buttons Galore Blog Hop -- Prizes to Win!


Welcome to the Poppystamps and Buttons Galore blog hop! There are tons of prizes to be had, so stick around to find out how to win!   If you came here from Robin Tharaldson's blog you are in the right place! If you just happened here and you want to participate in the hop, be sure to start at the Poppystamps blog!

I had so much fun combining Poppystamps stamps and dies and Buttons Galore embellishments. First, I created a fall shaker card.

I used Poppystamps Brilliant Leaf Frame and Stitched Oak Tree Leaf dies. I also used the Magic and Sparkle stamp and die set and filled my shaker window with embellishments from the Buttons Galore Autumn Afternoon Embellishment kit.

I love shaker cards but sometimes I get frustrated that all the shaker goodies fall to the bottom of the window except when you are actively shaking the card. So I decided to find a way to make a faux shaker card where the shaker goodies stay in place.

I used the brand NEW Simon Says Stamp Exclusive Poppystamps design for Stamptember Magical Wishes. This is a limited edition stamp set so once it sells out, it will be gone for good! So be sure to grab yours as soon as possible. I will have it and all the other products I used down below. I added the Buttons Galore Sequin Tin called Festival of Lights to create the faux shaker look.

Want to see how I got those sequins and shaker goodies to quickly and easily stay put? Check out my video:

Queen and Co Tag Shaped Shaker Cards

I am still loving the Queen and Co Tag Shaped Shaker Kit. It's so versatile! I made a little shadow box shaker to create a scene where one Pretty Pink Posh Woodland Critter was inside and the others were outside. I filled the Shaker with Queen and Co. Posies. You get so much dimension by placing some critters inside the shaker and some outside.
For a totally different look, I turned the circle tag upside down to create a balloon.
Filling the "balloon" with metallic bright Pearlies creates a really fun, shiny look!
