Hello Holiday Lovers!
On tap for you today is a shaker theme. You saw the first card in the series in my last post.
What happened was I purchased the Photo Sleeve Fuse Tool an embarrassing cougheen months ago and have only just gotten around to trying it out. Holy cow feathers, is it ever cool for making shaker sleeves, trousers, and even shapes! It's a heated stylus that fuses seams into acrylic craft envelopes, so your finished shaker is not bulky like it is when using foam tape. A bonus for mailing!
You can buy it from various vendors and there are great videos on You Tube. No one's paying me to say so, but I love it. So do Hammy and the Hamettes, which is fine with me as it keeps them from under my feet!

And away we go. To save us both time, I'm just posting the photo graphs. If you'd like any details, pop me an email. FYI, I used a very fine flaky glitter for some of the shakers which left a beautiful film of flakes on the acrylic.
