#NancyAndJillColorTogether

That’s right kids! I am back super quick, but it is my fave time of the month! Where my friend Nancy of Rowhouse Greetings and I color up the same image. If you know the backstory we started this as a mojo booster and it has become a fun way to see how different or similar we have colored the same piece. We do not to show them to each other until they are both finished. This month I picked the image and it is from Lili of the Valley aka LOTV and is called Lucky Mouse. Now, on with the Show & Tell…

Hi All! It’s my day over on The Rabbit Hole Designs YouTube page! Click HERE to check out how I made this card step by step! It’s a fun stenciled shaker card for you, along with a sneak peek of an item not yet released…..! I incorporated a bunch of coordinating items from my Rabbit Hole stash. I started with a fun layering stencil and added hot foiling and shadow die cutting. Did you know that Rabbbit Hole had word dies, that have coordinating hot foil plates aaaannnnddd coordinating stamp sets? Magical! Now, on with the Show & Tell…

The Rabbit Hole will be selling A2 layer Acetate sheets for these full front shaker cards! Pop over to our YouTube page to see how it works! See the shaker bits? You will be getting a sampling of these while supplies last with each order of the sheets once they release. I actually named this mix! It’s called “Black Tie Affair”.
