 My son just graduated from Northeastern University in Boston and his school colors are red, white and black.  I used my Silhouette to create the card front with the words cut out.  I adore shaker cards and thought this would be something different for him.  I used the Sparkling Clear sequins and Silver Confetti along with a touch of glitter from Melissa Frances.  I finished off my card with some twine from The Twinery and some enamel dots from Doodlebug.

Here is a bright and cheery card that I made using Pretty Pink Posh's Stitched Banner Duo and Stitched Labels 1.  I love how bright and fun these Doodlebug papers are and they are perfect with these fabulous dies.  I also used three different colors/types of sequins on my card.  Sequins make me happy.

This is my final project for today's hop and I created a gift box and made a shaker out of a lei cut file from Silhouette,  The springtime mix of sequins has a lovely white flower in it which gave me the idea to make a flower shaped shaker.  Shakers are not just for cards and you can use them on so many things.

Thanks for looking at my projects and be sure to hop along and comment at Pretty Pink Posh for a chance to win some goodies.
