It's time for a new challenge at Time Out. Challenge #309 is all about using a clear element(s) on your project. The challenge runs from March 19th to April 1st.
Think sequins, enamel dots, gemstones, stickers, and nylon thread, to name a few. Also, clear elements like acetate sheets or window plastic can be used on handmade cards to create shaker windows, floating elements, interactive overlays, or full transparent card bases. They add dimension and a modern feel, perfect for highlighting stamped, embossed, or die-cut designs behind a glossy surface. YouTube has many videos on how to use acetate on cards. Here's a wonderful one by Jennifer McGuire in case you are interested: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/52424783146996336/
We are joined by Verena Shapiro of Simple Stamper on Instagram, and winner of Time Out #304 as Guest Designer. Verena is a frequent player at Time Out. She has a wonderful sense of color and design and we are so pleased to have her with us as Guest Designer again.
For my card, I used much NBUS including my Gina K Fuse foiling system. I have had a pack of Waffle Flower A2 Shaker Card Fronts for a very long time, lots of Easter sequins, transfer foil... these things were calling me as I went to make this card. TWICE. I was not happy with the first iteration, and I am not really sure how I feel about this one, Here it is nonetheless. The background is foiled along with the sentiment. I wanted to glue the frame down, which resulted in many of the shaker bits sticking. I wanted to scream a little, but it is cute, and the littles in the family will like it!
Please head on over the the Time Out Challenge Blog and join us in the gallery. Create using a clear element on your project! I can't wait to see where your imagination takes you!

It's beautiful Stephanie, and I bet when you're actually shaking it, the colors of the sequins hit the light and it SHINES and SPARKLES big time!! Love the framing and the foiled sentiment too! Awesome card my friend!! Hugs. :0)
Stephanie, I have made a few shakers in my day but came to the conclusion that they are not my thing - I could never get a satisfactory 'shake' because my 'innards' always got hung up!
YOU found the cutest little bits to shake inside your lovely acetate frame!
=]
This is such a fun spring shaker, Stephanie! Love the background paper and the little eggs!
I love all the shine and shimmer...and those fun egg shaker bits! I would be sitting and shaking it all day long! Great card for our clear theme!!!!
I love your honesty, Stephanie! Yes, sometimes cards are like unruly children, aren't they, but just like children, they are cute and worth the effort! I think even biggles would love this darling Easter shaker! Thank you for inspiring everyone to use their NBUS! Hugs, Darnell
Easter Egg shaker elements - what fun! Great idea for an Easter card for the little ones! Hugs, Kate!
That background is fabulous, Stephanie, and so are the fun egg shaker bits. Static is a bugaboo to anyone making shaker cards.
I love all the easter shaer elements Stephanie and the beautiful sentiment is so elegnat! A great take!! :)
Such a fun Easter card Stephanie!! love the cute little eggs confetti you have used for the shaker. Awesome card. Hugsxx
So fun and pretty! Love the egg shaped bling which goes so well with the background!
Oh my goodness! I just adore the little Easter eggs inside your shaker card! Such a fun touch!
Stephanie, LOVE those Easter Eggs. I have some of those and didn't think to use them! I love them paired with that fabulous paper and that gorgeous font for the sentiment.
hugs
