Hi there! I’m back with a unique type of shaker card that I created for the new challenge at Create a Smile. I’ve never seen anything like it before and it’s quite surprising…


Here’s an animated gif of the card…

I used a really thin sewing machine type invisible thread by Coats and unless the light catches it, you can’t even see it!

Now let me tell you more about the new Create a Smile challenge. The theme is “fall”, or autumn as we say here in Europe. For the last “Hello” challenge, I made this clean and simple card which was very autumn-themed…
