I love to make shaker cards!
I’m not a big card maker, but I like to make shaker birthday cards. And since today’s my birthday I’m expecting a lovely homemade card from my sister-n-law. She’s one of the people who got me started with scrapbooking to begin with. She has also added card making to her list of talents and that’s who I learned what I know about card making from too. I would love to win this prize package so I could return the love to her.

I love so many different techniques that it’s hard to choose, even when I’m making my cards! Paper piecing, watercoloring, copic coloring, stamping, and ink blending are some that I turn to the most. Thank you!
My favorite card making technique is using stencils & embossing paste or gel to make pretty textured backgrounds for my cards! Pink & Main has the best products! Really Love this adorable elephant card with the colorful background! Cute Animal cards are my favorite!
Right now my favorite technique is watercolor splotches in the background with something colored (like a bird or giraffe) on top with a sentiment. I also really like using layering of rectangles or squares with patterned or solid paper. I never make the same card twice. It keeps me enjoying my hobby. I always will tweak something just so it is special for that person…..Thanks for providing a freebie today! Stay safe and well everyone!
I do stamp and use stencils but my favourite tried and true technique
is die cutting.
I LOVE to color. I have been guilty of buying stamps just so I could color them. LOL. It’s my favorite thing to do, especially with alcohol markers that allow you to build color. I love watercoloring as well. I can and have spent hours coloring the different components of a card.
I use a lot of die cutting and embossing but would like to try using stencils.
I love making all types of cards! Die cutting, ink blending and interactive cards are some of favorite.

I enjoy card making and choosing one technique is so difficult!! I love colouring with alcohol markers, and having matching dies after all the hard work is a must! So die cutting is a GREAT technique.
I enjoy coloring stamped images with alcohol markers. I have also been trying out drawing in my own backgrounds/foregrounds and creating stencils out of Cardstock to make clouds. I always enjoy your posts. Thanks!
I love that sweet little elephant! My daughter loves elephants and this would be perfect for her. I’m somewhat new to card making and I like to use all types of different styles; stamping, coloring, watercolors, die cuts. bling, bling, bling.
I don’t really have favorite, I just love trying something new when I can and making cards, period.
I am a clean and simple card maker, most of the time, but sometimes get away from that style and do something else. Sometimes I want to color, other times die cut, and the ideas flow on and on. Love the ideas shown from Pink and Main.
I am really bad at cutting straight so I like to use my cricut and cut the pieces out. I love to make fun fold cards and use things that I have cut with the cricut to embellish them. Of course there has to be glitter somewhere on my cards.
I love making shakers! and I love Pink & Main! Thanks for the
awesome giveaways every week!
What a generous giveaway by P&M! Such an adorable card and stamp set too! My favourite card making technique is ink blending through a stencil. Thanks for the chance and stay safe everyone.

I love making backgrounds for cards! I could do them all day! Watercolor, Distress Inks, Alcohol Inks, you name it!
What an awesome giveaway! Pink and Main rocks! Thank you!
My go to card technique if I need a card quickly is probably to make a background using watercolours or ink and stencils or background stamps. I do love to watercolour florals or colour with my pencils as well and if I have more time will play with that.
I love the elephant! My favorite technique is stamping and using dies. Thank you for the giveaway.
My favourite technique? Oh my, there are so many! I love interactive cards, but I don’t have too much time to make them, hence they are usually only for those really special people or occasions. I love shaker cards and wiper cards, but any interactive elements are fun, really!

I have so many stamps I’ll have to come up with a new hiding place soon…. thanks for the inspiration! Much needed these days 🙂
