Sparkly Shaker Card Tutorial!

 Sparkles and glitter are two of my favorite things. Therefore, my first tutorial of sorts being a shaker card is fitting! I remember the first time I saw a shaker card, I just HAD to make one! I've made many of them now, and I thought it would be fun to share my process and welcome input on how everybody else does this, too!

     Hello, everyone! I had a snow day from work today. Buffalo is getting slammed with a nasty blizzard, so I've been crafting up a storm!       For today's project, I'm sharing a quick and fun way to make a bunch of Valentines at once, using my stamp set from The Ton. These are great because you can make so many different color combinations to personalize them to whoever you're making them for!  To make these cards, you will need:  -"Heart Diamonds" stamp set from The Ton (can be found here:  https://www.thetonstamps.com/collections/photopolymer-clear-stamps?pa ) -Sentiment stamps from Technique Tuesday -rhinestones (or sequins, etc., whatever shines float your boat) -colored ink pads (I used Ranger Ink's distress inks) -"love" dies (mine are from Memory Box) -glue (I always use Ranger's matte collage medium) -anti-static powder tool (mine is the bag from ranger) -stamp positioning platform, not necessary but very h
