Welcome
I warm welcome to my newest follower Brenda S - sorry, but I cannot find a blog to direct you to, to be able to share her talents. 😕or is that just my lack of computer skills?
Edited: Thank you Annie - this is Brenda's blog , and her work is wonderful.
I made this some time ago, and now it has been received I can share it.
I started with a piece of red scrap that had been sprayed with silver spray, and decided to make a shaker card - for a 19 yr old male!!
To keep it looking masculine I die cut the smile from a memory box set, layered some acetate behind it, then glued layers of card around the edge to form the recess to put the sequins and glitter into, before adding the green card to enclose the lot.
I added brads to the corners, printed and embossed the sentiment on some vellum and also used brads to adhere it to the zig zag design paper.
Placed it all onto a green base card and voila, a masculine shaker card!!

This card makes me SMILE!
Wow, this is fantastic! At first glance it looks simple, but then you realize how difficult it must have been to create that amazing shaker window! What a wonderfully unique card idea Maxine, just love the out of the box thinking for this one!! Beautiful too!
Excellent idea for a 19 year old male...fun and loving the sentiment x
So pretty and a great card for a guy! Love it.

Oh Maxine, I am just loving this shaker card! What a great way to use that "smile" die. And I bet that the 19 year old male is going to think it is super cool too! Hope hubby is doing as best as he can my friend and I hope you are taking care of yourself. Hugs, Brenda
PS: Can you send me your address Maxine? I'd like to send some cards for you and hubby. My email is:

Blessings and hugs, Brenda
There's more of that perfect embossing. I've given up on trying to emboss because it always lumps, clumps, bumps, and ends up in the trash can while yours are always perfect. Thanks so much for stopping by my blog, Maxine. Yours is one of the dearest friendships I've made through blogging, and I'm SO grateful to you for your kind words, encouragement, and all the fabulous cards you share. Hope you're having a blessed day!

Think it is a great masculine card! That it is a shaker is by no means per definition a woman-card and this one shows that beautiful! Hugs, Gerrina
A super shaker Maxine and perfect for a male. I like your bright colours too. Barbxx
