Cheers Shaker

Posted on November 17, 2023 10:06 PM by Julie Comment

A fun, sparkly shaker card to celebrate the holidays, a birthday or New Year’s. Glitter was used for the shaker so it’s not bulky and shouldn’t take extra postage. Some step by step pics show you the process & it doesn’t require any special supplies.

For the Inspiration Challenge (IC937) we are visiting Catch My Party & their Pinterest Board where I found THIS picture for my inspiration. The colors and the sparkle really caught my eye.

I first created the large background using a 2 part Bokeh stencil and some light green & teal inks. Some paler, larger circles were added using a white pigment ink. After making sure this was completely dry, I put one of the stencils back onto the background & sponged some silver ink here & there, in some of the smallest circles, then embossed this w/ silver ep. For the shaker element, I die cut the shapes into the turquoise rectangle, then did the same to 2 pieces of cardboard. A separate glass was die cut in grass green & inserted the outline into the opening. I used a piece of cellophane packaging (like those that clear stamps or embellishments come in) & attached this to the back of the turquoise piece before attaching the 2 piece of cardboard on top of it.

Below is the back. I’ve already filled the bottle area & attached a piece of white card stock over it to seal it.

This is how the front looks at this point.

I put some chunky glitter inside the opening of the glass, then attached another piece of white over it. The front side of the white cover was lightly sponged w/ the green & teal inks to give it a color. You can see that below.

Here is the right side, all finished.

The greeting was stamped, & the shaker element was attached to the Bokeh background. I glued some of the larger pieces of the glitter, here & there on the Bokeh bg for some additional sparkle.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

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:

Gnome Shaker

Posted on November 16, 2019 10:37 PM by Julie 1 Comment

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.
