• Die cut using the Coordinating A Sea Turtle's Journey Dies.
• Set aside.

• Using the Ocean Green Paper Pouncers apply an ombre layer of ink from darkest to lightest on a cardstock panel. 
• These are the inks I used:
• Pawsitively Saturated Ink Pad SEAFOAM 
  Pawsitively Saturated Ink Pad SURF

• Glue to the card front.
• Add foam dots to the back of the turtles and glue them in place. 

FINISHING TOUCHES

• To the turtles, I added white gel pen details. To their shells, I added a layer of glossy accents. While still wet, I sprinkled on some Prisma glitter and let them completely dry.
• Use the Tropical Breeze Sequin Mix to add color and glue a few on the background.
• Add an enamel dot to the eyes of the turtles.
• Not pictured... On the inside, stamp another sentiment from the Signature Quotes: The Sea using the Black Hybrid Ink Pad.

Let's Party Shaker Card - Heffy Doodle

Hello Crafty Friends, 

I am excited to return today with another guest post for Heffy Doodle. Today's card is the perfect card for any celebration. 

CARD RECIPE

• Prep a piece of A2-sized Bristol paper using anti-static powder.
•  Stamp out the boxes of presents from the Wrapped With Love Stamps using watermark ink.
• Heat emboss the stamped panel using clear embossing powder.
• Ink blend the panel. I used 3 inks to create a rainbow blend.

• Die-cut the panel using the Scalloped Imperial Frames Dies.
• Glue the center of the background onto the card base.
• Add acetate to the scalloped Frame and foam tape along the edge of the frame.
• Add the shaker bits to the center of the card front.
• Remove the protective layer from the foam and line up the scallop frame with the background to close the shaker layer.
• Die cut the Let's Party Jumbo Sentiment Dies. For the letters, I used black card stock and for the background layer, I used vellum.
• Finish by adding some clay stars onto the die-cut stars.

How fun is this card!? I love that it is a party in itself. Shakers are my all-time favorite kind of card to gift simply for that reason.

Thank you for stopping by and until next time... Happy Crafting!

Hidden Inlaid Find Me By the Sea Shaker Card | Picket Fence Studios

Hello friends, 

I am back again today with this Hidden Inlaid Find Me By the Sea Shaker Card featuring new Picket Fence Ocean Odyssey April Release products. I will also share how to create extra shaker space in your DIY shaker pockets.

CARD RECIPE

Background Pattern Paper - A2 Card Fronts - Beachcombing

Turtle - A Sea Turtle's Journey Stamps & Coordinating Dies

Sentiments - Find Me by the Sea Word Die

DIY Shaker Pocket - Shaker Sheets

Shaker Bits - Sequin Mix Island Blues

Glaze on black cardstock - Sea Glass Blue Paper Glaze 

• Start by stamping the turtle onto one of the Beachcombing A2 Card Fronts using black pigment ink and heat set it with clear embossing powder.
• Die cut the turtle using the A Sea Turtle's Journey Dies.
• Glue the die-cut card background to a black paper panel. 
• Die cut the "Find Me by the" from the Find Me by the Sea Word Die and glue the sentiment onto the Beachcombing pattern paper.
• Add two thicker foam dots where the turtle body outline is. Place them far enough from each other to support the turtle die cut. 
• Remove the adhesive liner from the foam dots, center a cut piece of the Shaker Sheets, and create the shaker pocket. 
• Fill the pocket with the Sequin Mix Island Blues. NOTE: some of the sequins will get caught on the foam dots as it doesn't allow unrestricted movement in the pocket. Allow enough space between foam dots to allow the shaker bits to flow through. NOTE: Using foam dots will allow more space in the pocket, and the ability to use thicker shaker bits. This sequin mix has chunky iridescent bubbles, which normally would not fit well in a flat shaker pocket. 
• Seal the last flap of the pocket and adhere it to an A2-sized card base.

• Glue the turtle onto the die-cut opening, on top of the plastic sheet. If using a liquid glue, set aside to dry.
• Apply a thin layer of the Sea Glass Blue Paper Glaze onto black cardstock and allow it to dry. 
• Once dry, die-cut the "Sea" from the Find Me by the Sea Word Die and glue it onto the shaker front.
• For some sparkle and to create wave-like foam on the letters, I added some glue to the Sea Word Die and sprinkled some chunky glitter while the glue was still wet.
• Finally, I added an enamel dot on the turtle's eye to give it extra life.

And that my friends is how to create a Hidden Inlaid Shaker Card with a little extra shaker space. Hope you found this helpful!

Thank you for stopping by and until next time... Happy Crafting!
