Sequin Shaker Blog Hop

bloghop

Do you remember the feeling you go when you were a kid at Christmas? Excitement, joy, waiting anxiously…. that’s exactly how I have been feeling leading up to today- the day the Sequin Shaker Blog Hop starts! Not only am I a lover of sequin shakers, but I’m also excited because this marks the very first blog hop that I’m opening up to the public on this blog.

Date: The blog hop starts TODAY, Saturday, April 26, 2014 at 6AM, PST and will run until Monday, April 28, 2014 at 11:55 PM, PST.

Who: We want EVERYONE to be involved. If you love sequins and have a blog, you are welcome to join along. Don’t have a blog yet? This is a great time to start one OR you can just hop along and be inspired!

Prizes: There will be ALL sorts of prizes…whether you’re entering creations into the hop, or hopping along and leaving comments on the stop, there will be prizes for BOTH!

What kind of prizes will there be? There’s TONS of gift certificates and there are also prize packs! When I announce the winners, I’ll detail every prize from the sponsors, but let me just say that EVERY SINGLE prize is wonderful.

More Prizes?

If we can get 100 entries, I’ll donate a $20 gift certificate to Ellen Hutson or Simon Says Stamp. 200 entries? I’ll donate another! For every 100 entries (up to 500) I’ll throw in an extra $20 gift certificate!

If you want to participate, but don’t know how to create a sequin shaker, you’re in luck! I have put together a shaker tutorial video on YouTube and I promise it’s not as hard as you may think!

I hope you all will be able to participate one way or another, whether that means by creating something or leaving comments!

  8. What a great idea and I love shaker cards, just haven’t made any. Thanks for the video, it was just what I needed to get started.

  9. Paulina, thank you SO much for having this blog hop! I have long wanted to make a shaker card but was intimidated until you “made me do it”! Loving all of the examples I’m seeing this morning, and looking forward to a weekend of great ideas!

  10. Thank you for this fabulous blog hop! It’s been such an inspiration! In fact it’s my very first blog hop and I think it’s the perfect one for me to dive into the deep end of craft blogging. All I needed was that little spark.

  11. Have several “must-do” projects before I try my first shaker card, but sure will be loving all this inspiration!

    1. Hi Renee! No, you aren’t required to visit every single stop, however, blog comments will be randomly picked from various stops (so technically speaking, you have a higher chance of winning the more stops you visit and leave comments). Thanks for joining in the hop!

  15. Thanks SO much for hosting. I got to join in my first Blog Hop :) There are so many great interpretations of the “shaker card”. Off to comment some more!

  16. What a wonderful event, Paulina! I’ve only made one shaker card in my life, but I’m ready to try again! I need to order some of your sequins, but I’ll use old ones for the hop & then I can justify the order–LOL!

  17. I recently received my first pack of your awesome sequins and love them! Such a fun idea for a blog hop! Hoping to find time to make a shaker card – thanks for your fab video! :)

  21. Just watched shaker video…so cool!! thanks for sharing tips…off to hop!!

  22. Congrats Paulina on your first Blog Hop, it must be so exciting for you….
    Love the inspiration from every card maker. The cards are so different, but also stunning…
    I have never made a shaker card, but think I have to try now :)

  23. Okay now I’m back from soccer & I need to finish my shaker card! I put your mini graphic on my side bar by saving photo & using the blog post link. The link in your post still wouldn’t work for me. All is well now! Happy weekend!

  24. Great tute for shaker cards. All of yours were so cheerful and bright. Congrats on your new company. I’m sure I’ll love the hop.

  25. Well DEAR!! Because of you I made the leap and started a blog so I could play along today. Your sequins are so pretty…LOVE the FLAT ones! It’s a GOOD day to hop!!

  26. Love learning a new technique and this one is completely new to me. Can’t wait to get started. I don’t normally post pictures of my cards, so this part could be tough.

  27. Such a fun idea! I would love to play, but unfortunately don’t have any Pretty Pink Posh sequins yet. I’ll definitely be hopping around though!

  28. What a wonderful hop!! I’ve been hopping all over it & there are soooo many great cards & projects out there. Thanks for all the inspiration! Will have to try my hand at a shaker card!!

  29. How fun! Loved your video and cards….looking like there are some great entries, hoping I get to play along this weekend too!

  30. I wish you’d mentioned before this post that we can’t back link. I made a card only a couple weeks ago and had planned to use it since it is fairly new. I’d have made another if I’d known.

  31. I’m going to try and it them all, I will see how it goes. lol Lots of entries. very awesome turnout!!!!

  45. Hi Paulina, glad to see the hop is happening, so far it seems to be a great success! :D I am not sure I understand the rules of this hop, though… When you say “leave comments” on different stops of this blog hop… What are the other steps? Are they the other PPP DT members, or are we talking all people who enter?… Thanks,
    Mirella

    1. Mirella,
      Basically, I want to make sure everyone gets comments, so each person is required to leave at least 5 comments on various stops on the blog hop. However, I encourage you all to do as many as you can! :) Plus, you just never know where the winning comments will be picked from!

  48. SUPER EXCITED to be hopping along and being inspired by this AWESOME Blog Hop!!!

    I have visited several blogs already and all I can say is WOW!!!

    …. I have started to build my own blog but no, it’s not ready in time to share a sequin shaker, so I am taking time out from my blog building to fill my head and heart with SEQUIN DELIGHTS!!!

    THANK YOU for hosting this DELIGHTFUL Blog Hop :)
    NOW it’s time for me to watch your tutorial and get hopping again, you have 84 participants already, so I will be needing several cuppas to keep me company on my sequin adventures!!!

    THANK YOU for hosting this TOTALLY AWESOME sequin shaker blog hop Paulina :)

  77. Not sure if anyone else is having some problems with the links. For some reason I cannot open entries #8 or #162 and I could not leave a comment on entries #88 or #124.

    STILL hopping and STILL commenting!!!

    THANK YOU for this AWESOME & AMAZING Blog Hop Paulina … I feel the NEED to become a sequin HOARDER and make bundles of shaker cards :)

  78. Thanks so much for this fun blog hop, Paulina! I made three cards, and my creativity was just flowing from all of the fun. I loved hopping around to the other folks blogs and leaving comments on their cards. The prizes were a great incentive, but it was a ton of fun to see all of the creativity and inspiration. What a great opportunity. Thanks for the Hop! Cathy

  80. I found out about this hop through Simon Says Stamp’s blog. Sadly, I didn’t open the e-mail until Sunday, so I feel like I’ve been kind of playing catch-up! I did get a shaker card (my first) made, though. It wasn’t without difficulty, but I finished it and got it linked up tonight. Talk about right under the wire! Anyway, off to do a little more hopping before going to bed. Thanks for the adventure, Paulina!

  81. Congrats on a successful blog hop, Paulina!!! I am so proud of all your accomplishments to date! Way to go!!

    Thank you so much for hosting this hop, I had so much fun creating my card. I’m now going to hop along and see what other ladies have created. :)
