Posts Tagged ‘shaker card’


Congrats to Kathy, the newest Featured Stamper! She has a lovely gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the shaker & cute animals but used different stamps, dies, colors & made mine a winter card instead of a birthday card.

For my shaker card, I die cut the cute little critters & winter paper along w/ a scallop frame to go around the opening. I used a cellophane pkg, put large glitter inside then sealed the end & attached it behind the critters in the window. I added a fun foam frame behind to give it some lift for the shaker element. The greeting was actually stamped on the lt blue/grey panel behind the opening, but the glitter covered it too much so I stamped the greeting again & cut it to add on top of the shaker. I used a Sakura clear stardust glitter pen on the scarves of all the animals to add a little extra sparkle


Here are the Copics I used for everything except the fox:

The fox was colored earlier & here are the Copics for him:

It’s my pleasure to host the Splitcoast Featured Stamper Challenge this week, so a big Congrats to Susan, the newest Featured Stamper! She has a bunch of adorable gnome cards in her gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the gnome & shaker elements, but used different images & dies, different colors & moved my greeting to the inside of the shaker window.

For my card, I colored & die cut the cute gnome (yay!there are now matching dies!), then I die cut the white bg & also cut the circle into it. I stacked 2 of these fronts together to give it some depth for the shaker behind it. Then I used 2 sizes of stitched circle dies to make the frame around the opening.

A couple of stitched snow hills were added at the bottom w/ a line of stickles for a little sparkle. The shaker pouch is actually a clear bag that something came in & I used my fuse tool to seal it all around before attaching it under the top layers. The circular greeting was stamped directly onto the card front & I used my Misti to stamp it in sections w/ different colored ink &/or markers.

Here are the Copics I used for the gnome.

For the Inspiration Challenge we’re headed across the pond to a lovely site. I chose THIS for my inspiration.

My card today took way longer that I planned on spending but that’s how it goes sometimes. I wanted a twig wreath w/ stars on it but I wanted them to be a silver/gold mix & look a little rustic. The stars were pretty easy. I die cut them then covered them w/ a mix of silver ink on the inside & gold ink around the edges then sprinkled on 2 different embossing powders. One is a gilded gold (mostly clear w/ gold flecks) & the other was a stardust powder (mostly clear w/ little sparkles & a hint of silver). I did the same for the grosgrain ribbon die & bow die cut. On the wreath, I die cut it out of brown then used the same gold ep just in places here & there. Then part that took too long happened because I thought w/ the open area in the center, why not make it a shaker? But the sequins looked too bright & shiny. So I did the embossing again on a piece of ivory & die cut the sequins using a sequin die. Big trouble! Most the embossing flaked right off. So….I had piece sticker paper w/ most of the stickers gone & just the borders left. I peeled it off & stuck my sequins to the sticky side & embossed them again. That worked. I should have thought of that first! Then I put it all together & stamped half of the greeting on the front w/ Versa Clair nocturne & sprinkle the gilded gold powder on it & embossed it. You can see it in the close up but head on, it just looks black.

Here’s the inside.
