Birthday Balloon Shaker Card | Honey Bee Stamps

Hello friends and Happy 2023! 

Yes, this is my first post of the New Year, so I wanted to wish you all the best and thank you all for your support over the years. 

EYE UPDATE: As I have mentioned recently I have been struggling with the vision in my left eye, I barely see anything out of it now. What I do see is mostly shapes and colors, no detail. Because of that, I have been limiting my screen time. For now, I am patching my left eye to avoid straining it when I am online, and still trying to figure out how to decrease the stress on my good eye. I am hoping my left-side vision will stabilize and improve, I just don't want it to get worse. Thankfully, I have a great team of doctors that are following me closely and I am so thankful for all the support I have received. Don't worry I will still be creating just less often, so I am hoping you still will stick with me.

If you saw my last post, you will recognize the similarities between the two backgrounds. I loved my last background so much that I had to recreate the rainbow background again, but this time using balloons from Honey Bee Stamps. Birthday cards are definitely my favorite cards to make and shakers just make the best birthday cards because they are like a party on their own. 

CARD RECIPE

  • To begin, I used one of the stencils from the Layering Balloon Stencils and started by blending the yellow ink in the center, followed by the pink ink on top and then the blue on the bottom. When you overlap with the previous color it results in a rainbow blend. Repeat the process with the top layer of the stencil. Use light pressure when blending to create somewhat of a transparent effect.
  • Once the background is done, add double-sided tape to the back and secure 3 of the shaker pocket tabs. I filled the pocket with Bokeh Lights Confetti and sealed the last tab. Remove the protective plastic layer from the pocket if it has one.
  • Attach the finished shaker pocket to a card base.

A card like this would be easy to mass-produce and have on hand for upcoming birthdays. Change up the colors to make switch things up and make the cards more personal. I think I may have to take my own advice and make some for my stash as I am always running low.

I hope you got some inspiration from today's Birthday Balloon Shaker Card. Thank you for stopping by and until next time... Happy Crafting!

Hello friends and happy Monday! 

I took last week off as I celebrated my 46th birthday and then had plenty of things to catch up on... and I am still not caught up! Anyways, I have another birthday card to share with you as most of the family birthdays are all coming up so I need to stock up on my birthday cards.

CARD RECIPE


This card features a couple of the new stencils from a recent release. The Layering Streamers A2 Stencils and the Balloon Arch Coordinating Stencils.

  • I began this card by blending out the arch using the Balloon Arch Coordinating Stencils. To create the seamless arch I used the masking layer and repeated the blending on the other side to complete the arch.
  • I then created another mask by tracing the first mask onto a post-it note and fussy cut it. I then masked off the whole arch. 
  • Next, I used the Layering Streamers A2 Stencils to blend out the streamers and confetti. To the confetti layer, I added some glitter glaze for some sparkle.
  • I then topped off the balloon arch with the heart accent arch from the Rainbow Accents Die Set using white glitter paper.
  • With the same glitter paper, I die-cut two clouds from the Rainbow Builder A2 Card Base and popped them onto foam dots, and added them to the base of the balloon arch.
  • To the center area of the card, I stamped out the birthday sentiment using stamps from the Birthday Wishes Set using Intense Black Ink.
  • To bling this beauty up some more I used the new Rainbow Birthday Gem stickers
  • For highlights on the balloons, I used a white gelly roller.

Mini Slimline Balloon Birthday Shaker and Floral Cards | Crafty Meraki

Mini Slimline, Balloon, Birthday Shaker, Floral Cards, Crafty Meraki, CAS,Instagram Hop,Frameless Shaker,Card Making, Stamping, Die Cutting, handmade card, ilovedoingallthingscrafty, Stamps, how to,

Hello again! I am back once again today to share with you a few cards I made to help celebrate Crafty Meraki's Second Anniversary

Join me over on Instagram as I am super excited to participate in the Crafty Meraki IG Anniversary Hop. ONE lucky winner will win the FULL RELEASE BUNDLE 💃🏻🎉 and ONE additional winner will win 💵 $100 gift card to redeem towards Crafty Meraki Products!! 



Since it is their birthday I thought a birthday shaker would be fun to make. This mini slimline frameless shaker features the new Party Balloons Mini Slimline Meraki Para-dies that I paired with the sentiments from the Birthday Slimline Tag.

If you are curious about how this shaker was assembled, click HERE for a video I made a while ago. To create the background there was a lot of paper piecing happening here. I die cut the Party Balloons Mini Slimline Meraki Para-dies 3 times, one white layer and two black layers. For the white layer, I ink blended all the balloon colors using distress oxide inks. I then sandwiched the white layer between the two black ones. For the top black layer, I snipped the inside out just using the black frame.

For the next two cards, I kept them super simple and just focused on the flowers. I sometimes like to keep the sentiments off the card until I am ready to send it to someone. This way they are more versatile. Both finished cards are 5X7s.

To create this first one I used masking tape to block off a frame, and then added the ink blended grass and sky. Next, I die cut and pieced together the June Meraki Fora Para-Dies.

I then added the Meraki Sparkle Prismatic Green Crystals. To the centers, I also added some tiny beads.

This next card features the Madison Meraki Flora Para-Dies. The fun part about these dies is the cut lines in the flowers. They allow you to easily do some masking for ink blending, which is awesome if you want to use more than one color. I just slipped post-it paper in the cut lines and then blended.

You can see on the left flower my masking wasn't perfect, but I learned from my mistakes when I blended the one on the right.

To finish up this card I added some Meraki Sparkle Prismatic Blue Crystals, even though they are blue they reflect a lot of purples.

I hope these Merakiversary Cards inspire you today. Happy 2nd Birthday Crafty Meraki, and thank you for inviting me to join you on your special day. To join the Hop click HERE.

Viktoria's Balloon Shaker Card


Hello my crafty Friends!

Today I have a very sweet and simple shaker card to share with you. This one I made for my little niece Viktoria who turns 2 this year! She is such a cutie :)

I wanted to make it a little more personalized, so I used a versamarker pen to write her name on one of the balloons and used some Wow Gold embossing powder to set it. Don't ask where the number 2 stamp came from, I have no clue (if anyone recognizes it let me know ;)
For dies, I used stitched rectangle to create the frame
 and also the balloons that I added to the inside of the shaker.

For the sequin shaker mix I used clear sparkly sequins from Pretty Pink Posh, pink and gold ones from CraftMedley and also some Recollections Thick Glitter and Microbeads. The pattern paper also comes from Craft Smith Paper Pad - Metallic Foil that I picked up at Micheals.

Hoping this sweet personalized Balloon Shaker Card inspired  you today.

Thanks for stopping by!
Happy Crafting  :)
