It's Tickle a Teapotter this week; we were challenged to bring pumpkins to the party. I love this ornate pumpkin stamp from Studio 112.
Typical shaker card construction. I stamped the sentiment on the backer piece, embossed in gold and ran it through one of my favorite embossing folders. After I added all the shaker elements and attached the backer piece, the shaker window was adhered to the card base with Sookwang tape.
I think shaker cards are so much fun - I really enjoyed making this one - if you leave out the fussy cutting!
As always, thanks for looking!

How cool to do a shaker card for this challenge! I love the little leaves mixed in with sequins and beads for your shaker part and that ef is so pretty. The gold embossed pumpkin is very elegant. A fun and lovely card ;)

What a fantastic and genius idea to make a shaker card with this EF and image! Love the gold and the way you stamped then embossed that BG piece to give your card such character!! That gold embossed pumpkin is the star of your card front!!

Beautifully done! The embossing folder caught my eye immediately and love the pumpkin! I did a shaker yesterday after about 7 years. Love the way they look but what a heck of a time I had!

Everything about this is fabulous Jody. I love your shaker creation, I bet it looks even more special in real life. Your fussy cutting was sooooo worth the pain!!

I agree shaker cards are so neat, as is this one here. I have only tried one like over a year ago, but will have to try again as it looks so neat. A very classy pumpkin too. great job with the fussy cutting too....TFs..:0)

This is beautiful Jody - wow! I love the golds and the rusts -- the embossing and all those (for a lack of a better word - it is still early) - the little do-dads that are sprinkled about. Love those too!

WOW!!! This is gorgeous, Jody. Lucky recipient for sure. Your shaker card is so beautifully done from the bg embossing to all the little "shakers" floating in the inside.

Wow, that is an amazing pumpkin stamp! It must be the most elegant one at the teaparty this week. Picking up on the gold with the shaker frame is perfect, and I love your idea of embossing the background of the shaker.
