This should be easy to figure out....
I collect giraffes (since college and I am OLD), and love them, and like feeding them, and photographing them, and watching them, and making cards with them! In fact, Starting June 1, it's GIRAFFE WEEK on my blog! I have SO many giraffe stamps, that I thought I would make a card a day for a week with different ones I have.
Anyway, this is my first ever shaker card. I know, hard to believe, right? I didn't follow any instructions, and probably should have, as I learned some things the hard way. Like make sure your Wink of Stella is DRY before you put your sequins in and seal everything up. Because one of them is in a DUMB place and is stuck there. Live and learn! haha~
It was tons of fun and I think I will try again. This is laying flat, not standing up. Thanks for looking!

Wow Judy, this is fun, fun, fun. I love your neon bright colors, and those giraffes are so cute. Great idea to make it a shaker card. That's a technique I have never done either, but I am not even patient enough to watch a tutorial. Great choice of sentiment.

I'm am laughing out loud because I didn't make sure my glue was dry! My sequins are stuck in a really dumb place - along the edges!! Anyway ...
What an adorable card!! I know of your love of giraffes, and this is just too cute! You used great papers too. Don't you love the doodlebug papers?

This is adorable with those bright and cheerful colors and sweet images. I'm quite fond of giraffes myself, especially watching them up close! I'm going to have to watch for what you make on your blog for giraffe week : )

Thanks for sharing your love for giraffes. They are an amazing animal. Love feeding them too at our local zoo. This card is adorable....can't tell if the sequin is stuck. TFS
