I started this as a shaker, but decided it was too bulky to mail to my sick friend. Since she lives in another state, I dismantled it and took out the shaker parts. I used the Cat's Meow kit from Queen & Co. I think the video that inspired me was one by Jennifer McGuire.
When you pull the tab, the flap opens to reveal the sentiment. She's a cat lover, so she will love it.
I can't believe how much time has passed since I made or posted a project. Our youngest son who lives with us started a business in the spring, and suddenly my craft room was overtaken by the wares he is selling at conventions. After a year of not seeing our daughter, she came for a short visit. We went to visit family, and family came to visit us for a quiet, laid back family reunion. Our third youngest son and his wife are getting ready to move. Doctor visits continue for my DH, and I still need to do all the driving. Crafting has had to be put on hold the last few months. However, I recently managed to get to a scrapbook convention. It's been at least 3 years, but even though the GASC event was small, I found some fabulous Disney dies at the Tall Mouse Cre8ates booth. I'm still working on the Disney album for our 2017 trip. I did buy a few dies that may or may not be useful for the album, but I knew would be great for cards. Since my son's inventory is finally out of my craft room, I finally managed to make a card for the first time in a long time:
The cupcake die and background die came from the Tall Mouse booth. The banner stamp and die are from Queen & Co. (but who were not at the convention). It doesn't show in the photo, but I used clear Wink of Stella on the tiny Mickey Head sprinkles of the cupcake.
