CAT NAPS - HONEYPIE BY POLKADOODLES -- DIGI CHOOSDAY WEEK 38 -- SEPTEMBER 20, 2022

Hello friends and welcome back to my blog! 😊 I hope you are all doing well on this third Tuesday in September.  Things here are trucking right along as usual.  It being a Tuesday means that it's time for another new challenge at Digi Choosday!  The DT theme for this challenge is FRIENDSHIP, and here is my card:


Now I ask you, what better way to spend a day than with a sweet kitty (or your favorite pet) friend on your lap and a nice beverage, and probably a good book, or binging your favorite crafty YouTube channels?  I know it sounds like a fab day to me!  I used the super sweet Cat Naps - Honeypie from the Honeypie Just Lovely collection, and I created a shaker card!  I am SOOOOOO in the mood for Fall, so I used fall colors.  I started by choosing papers from the 12x12 Fall Orchard paper pad from Recollections that I think I bought last year.  I wanted my mug shaker element to be pretty large, so I opted to use a 5.5" square kraft card base.  The mug shape is a Silhouette cut file that I modified a bit to make it into a shaker.  I cut it 8 times from Accent Opaque 80lb card stock so there would be lots of room for the shaker bits to move.   The top layer was inked with Fired Brick oxide ink, which I thought matched pretty closely to the red on the plaid paper.  My shaker bits consist of different pieces from some Sparkle Blends that I have in my stash:  Eggnog with Nutmeg, Hot Cocoa, and Frosted Gingerbread, plus some miscellaneous sequins also.  I colored the Honeypie image to match using Copic markers, and a gold gel pen to make her little mug special.  I added glue and foam tape behind the image, as she is adhered onto the shaker and needed added support in some places.  To finish it off, I added some Cafe Au Lait half back pearls from Twiddler's Nook.

  21. Marie this is lovely. Beautiful image and I agree, I would love to have a little dog to snuggle up with on my lap. One day I hope to do so but hubby won't allow it until I am no longer working and that will be many years from now :(

    Great idea to make this into a shaker card.

    Thank you very much for another fab entry into our challenge. Good luck with the prize draw.

    Stay healthy, happy, keep crafting and Creating Joy :)
