Hello Sunshine! Slimline Shaker Card

Hello! Today I'm sharing a fun Slimline card - that is a Shaker Card as well as a Pop Up. The Sun die is from Lawn Fawn and a new addition to my craft room - I loved it as soon as I saw it. I had to make a shaker with it right away then went on to make a card and I have a walkthrough on YouTube as well:

The eyes, nose and cheeks are dies that come with the sun die but I added eyelashes with a sharpie marker. When I started this card, I thought I would send it as Happy Mail to our youngest Granddaughter. Whenever I see her, I say 'Hello Sunshine'. Those words fell out of my mouth the first moment I met her - just hours old, in the hospital with her parents ... and they just stuck.

I added a lightly stencilled background and stitched puffy clouds from Your Next Stamp, and the 'Hello' & 'SUNSHINE' are from Pink & Main. Finally, I added a few sparkly Gumdrops from YNS. 

Inside I used Karen Burniston's Katherine Label Pop Up to animate several stitched puffy clouds.

The sun and sentiment stamps are from an older Paper Pumpkin kit. I found an online listing for an unused kit and haven't put it together yet! But the stamps are great so I decided to go ahead and use them. That's the fun thing about Paper Pumpkin, and I have yet to receive one where I wasn't keen on the stamp set.

One more look ...

Once I got the card finished, I decided it might be better to send it off for Happy Mail to a friend ... eyelashes and all. Ha!
