Will You Be My.....

I finally dragged out my Make It Market Shakers and Sprinkles kit that I purchased from PTI  in April 2014 when it came out (and haven't used until today!) and made 3 fun shaker Valentine cards!  The heart dies, the patterned paper, the clear cardstock and adhesive foam comes with the kit.  The Sentiment Strip is a die from MFT and the stamps I used  are from a new PTI set called Love You to Pieces Addition Set.  The Market Kit came with stamps - but they are not Valentine related.
Betsy Veldman, creator of this fun kit, has a great tutorial post on the best way to assemble the shakers.
I die cut the heart and circle sprinkles inside the shaker using two dies included in the kit - I also added one little shake of some clear crystals also included.
I had so much fun putting this together - I made 2 more for our Valentine sale at church coming up.   The clear cardstock causes a little static electricity and so the paper hearts and circles stick to it.  You can shake them down - but it looks kind of fun with the pieces staying all over the front of the heart!
The pretty patterned papers come with the kit but can be ordered separately.ETA:  you can still get the kit!  Here on PTI 
Here's what I did on the inside of the cards - a simple sentiment (unknown maker) and 3 little hearts left over from the 'sprinkles'!
My card design was inspired by Freshly Made Sketches 
also entering these in  the CAS-ology Cue Card - NBUS (linking the 3rd card that has more white space!)
as well as Darnell's NBUS Challenge

Stamps:  Love You to Pieces: Additions Set - PTI,  Happy Valentines Day - unknown.
Paper:  Raspberry Fizz, white, DP Shakers and Sprinkles Patterned Paper Collection - PTI
Ink:  Archival Jet Black, Raspberry Fizz - PTI
Accessories:  Sentiment Strip Die - MFT, Scotch Quick Dry Adhesive, Shakers and Sprinkles Make It Market Kit - PTI

Well, if you didn't make a post that is the easiest of any for me to CASE, I don't know my alphabet, Julia! I have all of those things, right down to that unknown Valentine sediment on the inside of your card! Yes! How about that?! Thank you for making my Valentine-making days easier this year!! Don't you especially love the festive paper that comes with this kit? The stripes and circles in those yummy ice cream parlor colors?! (And I don't even work for PTI!!) Thank you so much for entering your shaker Valentine in my NBUS Challenge #3! I hope you're having a lovely weekend!! Hugs, Darnell
