Simple Easter Shaker Card Using Small Stamps to Create a Background | Ink On 3

Hello, my sweet friends 👋 

YAY! Finally, it actually feels like Spring has arrived here in our city of Edmonton.  All the snow is melting, there are water puddles everywhere and we have even enjoyed a few muddy bike rides! 

Now that Spring has arrived, Easter is just around the corner. So today I have a simple Easter Shaker card to share with you all and I even filmed the process video for you to watch. It's been so long that I really had to relearn the process of making, editing and just uploading it to YouTube all over again. I'm hoping I will be a little more regular with sharing videos so that I don't forget the process again.

So for those of you that would rather watch the process, this is for you and don't forget to →Subscribe for future inspiration!

CARD DETAILS

For this card today I began by die cutting the top panel to create the heart-shaped window and the Cross from the Blessing Coordinating Die set. I then took a bunch of Spring/Easter small stamps from a variety of Ink On 3 sets and stamped out using Blackout Ink to create the background on to the front of the card base and colored them in using Copic Markers. (All the Ink On 3 Sets I used will be listed below in the thumbnail links below).

Next, I glued the acetate to the back of the heart panel opening and added the foam tape along the heart to create the well for the shaker pieces and also added foam to the edges of the card.

On the card base, where the middle of the shaker window will be, I added a little pile of the butterfly glitter and then closed up the shaker by adhering the top panel to the card base. 

To finish I stamped the Easter and Blessing on the card front pieces and glued the cross onto the heart. To the cross, I added some color by blending on some squeezed lemonade distress oxide ink. And that is pretty much it for this simple shaker card.

Ink On 3 | Holiday Blessings Christmas Trio Card Set

Recently I was inspired by some cards Yana Smakula created. And although she used a background stamp on her cards, I thought I could recreate something similar using some of the new release stamps from Ink On 3's Holiday Blessings Release.

So here is the Holiday Blessings Christmas Trio Card Set I ended up creating with her inspiration.

For this first card, I  masked off the cardstock with tape in the shape of a triangle to create a tree-like shape. I then stamped out the images from the Merry and Bright set using a green and red ink. I then used the Juicy Ink to stamp out the gold embossed images and heat set it using Gold Rush embossing powder.

Once the tree was finished I removed the masking tape and stamped out the sentiment where the tree trunk would be and this time I used Arctic White embossing powder to heat set it. I then die cut a frame to add to the outside of the card.

For this next card, I repeated the same process as above only this time I used the shape of a circle as I wanted to create an ornament.

On the background of the card, I used the evergreen branch from the Poinsettia set for a tone on tone look.

For this final card, I used the images from both the Merry and Bright and the Blessings set to create a red and white background. The white images were heat set using Arctic White embossing powder.

To create a wrapped gift box look, I used ribbon over the patterned background and then added my sentiment to where the ribbon crosses.

I kept these cards quite simple as these would make great cards to mass reproduce. Hope you got inspired by this Holiday Blessings Christmas Trio Card Set. For more inspiration using these products visit the Ink On 3 Blog.
