TUESDAY IS ALL ABOUT TIPS & TECHNIQUES

Today I have a shaker card to share with you. It is a great technique that suits so many products.

As I am featuring the Celebratory Sips Suite Collection, I decided to make a card with three cut out glasses to show the shaker elements.

I die cut the three glasses and then secured a window sheet panel behind it.

Using Foam Adhesive Sheets, I created a border to hold the shakers elements in place and an outer border to hold the shaker elements in place.

I filled the shaker space with lots of images that I fussy cut from a sheet of DSP.

An extra Basic White panel was placed behind the card front and shaker elements. Then I adhered this shaker layer to a Granny Apple Green card base.

The greeting was stamped in Versamark, and then heat embossed with the Ebony Wow Embossing Powder, three times.

Using one of the square dies, from the Stylish Shapes Dies, was used to cut the greetings down to perfectly sized rectangles.

I used Multipurpose Glue to glue them in place and a Mini Glue Dot to attach each end to the wondow sheet.

Using more of the fussy cut images, I decorated the card front, card insert and back of the envelope.

Finally, I added some of the black Classic Matte Dots to the card front.

With the DSP in this collection it is very easy to step this shaker card up to another level.

Essentially the same card but I added some colour behind the shaker space before adding the shaker elements.

The greeting was created in the same way ut was cut using one of the banner dies from the Stylish Shapes.Dies.

The card insert and back of the envelope had fussy cut glasses added.

To finish the card I added some Itty Bitty Bokeh Mix sequins to the front of the card.

It’s always fun to ‘recreate’ a card design but step it up a bit.

Tomorrow I have a ‘CASEd’ card to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping and scrapbooking.

If you live in Australia, you can order any of the products I used to make this card by going to my online store. As you read through this post, you will see the products I used for this project. The new items are available from May 5th.

For this project I focused on the amazing Designer Series Paper and did a lot of fussy cutting.

I used one of the Secret Sea DSP deigns as a background for the shadow box decor project.

Then, after fussy cutting these 10 different drinks glasses, I positioned the glasses on the DSP and used Stampin’ Dimensionals to pop them up.

Finally, I added some Metallic Gems to the DSP and assembled the shadow box.

Tomorrow’s technique project is a shaker card – well, actually twoshaker cards.

Until then, happy stamping and scrapbooking.

FUN FOLD FRIDAY IS HERE

Today I have a super simple gatefold card to share with you.

The Strawberry Slush card base has an assymetrical opening.

I stamped the small hibiscus image using Secret Sea ink. This stamped panel was adhered to the left hand fold.

Using one of the new punches, from the Hole Punch Assortment pack, I made a hole to thread a length of white ribbon. The ribbon is from the Petal Pink & White 1/4″ Diagonal Trim Combo Pack.

The greeting was stamped and cut to size before placing it on the front panel with dimensionals.

I used Stampin’ Write Markers to colour the individual hibiscus. I stamped the flower three times and then fussy cut each one.

The same greeting was also stamped on the card insert.

I stamped the smaller hibiscus image across the back of the envelope.

The ribbon was then tied in a bow to close the card.

Since I took these photos I added some Strawberry Slush pearls from the 2025-2027 In Colour Flat Pearls pack.

Next week I will feature the Celebratory Sips Suite Collection.

Until then, happy stamping and scrapbooking.
