A big congrats to Dayanna, the newest Featured Stamper (FS506) on Splitcoast! She has a wonderful gallery & after much browsing, I chose THIS to case. I love the cute little Koala & the shaker element so I kept those. I made mine a dinosaur by using different images, different colors & I also used a die cut as part of the greeting.

To make my Dino Shaker, I stamped, colored & die cut the cut little dinosaur. The top white panel was also die cut w/ a pierced rectangle then I used a double stitched circle die to cut out the shaker part. After die cutting the pink & purple layers, I lined them up & cut the slightly smaller circle into the pink layer. I used the fuse tool to make a shaker pouch using a small plastic bag that sequins came in, put some color coordinated sequins in it, then sealed it. A thin foam layer was also die cut & put behind the pink layer to give the shaker some room. 

Here’s a look at the inside & below it are the Copics I used.

For today’s Inspiration Challenge (IC567) on Splitcoaststampers, we are to be inspired by one of the Pins on Audrie’s favorites Pinterest board. Lots of pretty cards there! I was inspired by THIS card.  I was really drawn to the warm fall colors & the way the color was one sided on the card.
To make my card, I die cut the lg white panel,  stamped the 2 leaves w/ black ink then sponged the edges a little using the gold & orangey colors of the Kaleidacolor pad. On a separate piece of white c/s, I stamped the leaves then colored w/ Copics & fussy cut them. The harvest gold ovals were die cut, stamped w/ the greeting & the edges lightly sponged.
