Red, White and Blue 4 You

It's Friday again.  You know what that means.  Time for the next Sassy Studio Designs Facebook Flashback Friday image.
There's a NEW way to bring you your favorite FBF Images! So, starting today - the featured image for FBF will be available to you FOR FREE for 24 hours ONLY, and ONLY in this group!! That means that after 24 hours the image will be removed from the group and you will no longer be able to receive it for free. If you miss it - you can still purchase it in the store at regular price. If is not in the store than you will have to wait until it pops up again! This weeks image is Captain America.

I decides to keep with the Red, White and Blue theme.  I also figured out how to make a "twisted easel" card that is vertical.  I had always seen twisted easel cards but they were all either square or horizontal.  Here's a sketch of how to make it work.

You then just add a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" piece on the front adhering it only in the bottom triangle.

Here's what I made.

Birthday Shake Up

Welcome to June. It's the start of a new Progressive Challenge at the Sassy Studio Designs Facebook Group.

This month the image is "Birthday Cake Sassy".

If you played along last month, you can request the image and continue to play along.  They are free as long as you continue to play along.  If you are new and would like to play along, you can also request the image and start playing along.

I decided to make a shaker card.  I've been wanting to make one and just have never done it.
