A Skull kind of Birthday!!

Isn't this card just TOO STINKIN' CUTE!!??!! I love it!!!! I do have to admit THIS card is a TOTAL CASE of Mackenzie's card she did here. When I was visiting her blog I saw her card and told myself I just had to CASE it and give it to my great friend Kelly for her birthday, which is the same day as my son Griffen's birthday, Halloween Day. See Kelly just LOVES this stamp set but has not gotten it yet from Stampin' Up!, honestly I don't know WHY she has not gotten it yet (wink Kel!!). I hope I did Mackenzie's card justice!!!

I just LOVE how she made the eyes of this skull shaker boxes!! Too stinkin' cute!!!

On my card I used the Washington Apple DSP, Riding Hood Red Cardstock, Dazzling Diamonds Glitter & Micro Beads.
I had just opened an empty blue punch box, which you can still purchase for $3.95 item #114673. These are the punch boxes that Stampin' Up! used to sell with a stamp set, ink spots and a punch all included inside the blue metal box. Well now they do not sell their punch bundle that way anymore (keeps the cost down) and they have a surplus of these empty boxes. I had ordered a bunch of them the last time they offered them for sell empty (I use them alot in my workshops by putting all my supplies for one project in one box to take with me). Anyway I had just opened one and they still have the plastic in the inside of the box so I used that, cut a piece the size I needed for the eyes and adhered it to the back of the skull face. I used the edges of my dimensionals to make the area to put my Micro Beads in and put my skull face onto of the dimensionals. There you have it a shaker box!!!
Enjoy,
Tiffany
