Leif Monster

Happy Monday!
We're starting a new challenge today at Digi Makeover.  It's a little bit of a tough one, but I know you can come up with something super awesome for it.  We're challenging you to make a motion card!  Include something on your card that physically  moves!

I had a lot of fun with this card.  I went through a lot of tutorials trying to decide what to make (splitcoast stampers has an awesome collection of tutorials for ya!!)
With the leaves changing and the temperatures drastically dropping, I decided to go with a fall themed card this week :)

It has been beyond forever since I made a shaker card...I think the first handmade Christmas card I ever made back in 2002 was a shaker card...and I haven't made one since...so this was so much fun to create!

I used the super fun Leif Monster image from Paper Makeup.  He's so fun, and perfect for fall/spooky cards.  I wasn't sure what sentiment to use with him, and almost decided not to add one, until I remembered this stamp and thought it would be perfect!  It adds a little bit of that spook without being too creepy :)  It's like a cute spook!

All the edges are distressed with my scissors.  I cut out a scallop frame with my Silhouette and then cut out the center for the shaker bubble.  I had no idea what to use for the shaker bubble when I started this card...I don't have those sort of things around very often since they aren't a common card for me.  But, being the scrappy crafter I am, I realized the packaging that my double sided tape comes in has this awesome bubble in the middle that would work perfect!  So I trimmed it out, and tada!  A shaker card :)

I cut out some of the leaves from the background paper to include in the shaker along with some red/brown/white beads.  It turned out so cute!!

I do hope you will join us this week!  Take the plunge and try something new!  You could win some adorable Paper Makeup images!!
