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.

Uniquely You Frida Kahlo Card | Hero Arts

Uniquely You, Frida Kahlo, Card,Hero Arts, Card Making, Stamping, Die Cutting, handmade card, ilovedoingallthingscrafty, Stamps, how to,  CAS,copics,

Hello friends and happy Monday! Hope you had a restful weeken

Today's card is obviously inspired by Frida Kahlo. I am sure you have seen her art. She was a Mexican painter known for her many portraits, self-portraits, and works inspired by the nature and artifacts of Mexico. The Hero Lifestyle Frida Kahlo Dies are part of this month's Add Ons.

CARD RECIPE

Not much to explain here only that I die-cut all the pieces from white cardstock using the Hero Lifestyle Frida Kahlo Dies and then colored them using Copic Markers. For the body, I used a beige-colored cardstock using Hero Lifestyle Forms Fancy Dies. I did cut the arms off and repositioned them to look like they are crossing. And for her face, I used the Hero Lifestyle Faces and then drew in her lips with a red sharpie pen. The paper was still wet from the Copics and it bled a little so she ended up with duck lips, lol! I guess if she was still alive maybe she would really have some 😂

Once it was all pieced together I then attached it to the plain card front using foam tape.

To finish I used a sentiment from this month My Monthly Hero Kit March 2022 done in Intens-ified Black Ink. I love how Frida turned out and think it makes the best card for anyone in your life that is so uniquely them, cause you know we are all a bit quirky!


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

3D Christmas Tree Flat Shaker Card | Honey Bee Stamps

3D, Christmas Tree, Flat Shaker, Card, Frameless Shaker, Honey Bee Stamps, Christmas Card, Card Making, Stamping, Die Cutting, handmade card, ilovedoingallthingscrafty, Stamps, how to, Pine trees,CAS,

Hello, my friends!

Today's 3D Christmas Christmas Tree Shaker card is part of the Honey Bee Stamps Vintage Holiday Release Instagram Hop. I hope you can join us →there and leave a comment to qualify for two $25 Gift Cards to their shop.

This card is a bit of an oxymoron. It has 3D elements along with a flat shaker window, but the trees do fold flat to fit in an envelope. I will also share a Reel on Instagram where I show you what that looks like later today.

CARD RECIPE
  • Dry emboss the snowflake design using the Pierced Fancy Flakes Cover Plate onto a card panel using white cardstock.
  • Trim off the edges of the panel. (This isn't necessary but I wanted to create a smaller frame to glue to the card front).
  • Build your shaker pocket. 
    • Cut plastic/acetate slightly larger than the panel. 
    • Cut off corners.
    • Fold sides flaps down and adhere in behind with double-sided tape, leaving one side open.  
    • Pour in shaker bits I used Blizzard Confetti Mix (Glitter, flat sequins, or confetti work best to keep down the bulk and they slide around better with limited space).
    • Adhere the remaining flap down to close the shaker pocket.
    • Add the shaker pocket to the front panel of the card base. I used foam tape, but not necessary if you want to make it flat.
    • Use either scrap plastic from packaging, acetate, or a premade shaker pocket. I used packaging plastic this time. If you want to see how I created the first-ever frameless/edge to edge/infinity/flat shaker card watch this video I made a few years ago→ HERE.

  • Cut four layers for each tree using the Pine Tree Dies (Largest and smallest were used here).
  • Used a scoring board and score each tree down the middle. 
  • Fold each tree.
  • Add a line of liquid adhesive down the middle score line of each layer. Glue scored edge of the next tree down. Repeat until the last tree is glued to the top. Allow them to dry completely before fluffing.
  • Add gems or embellish as desired.

  • Die-cut the Merry Christmas greeting from Bitty Buzzwords: Holidays Dies I glued four layers together to give it that chipboard thickness and look.
  • Finish off by gluing the elements to the card front.

I hope you were inspired by this 3D Christmas Tree Flat Shaker Card. I had so much fun making it. This technique will work with many other die cuts to create the 3D effect. I hope you give it a try!

Here's a quick video to show you how this came together.

CAS Slimline Merry and Bright Holiday Card | Studio Katia

CAS, Slimline, Merry and Bright, Holiday Card, Studio Katia, rainbow,distress oxide inks,Card Making, Stamping, Die Cutting, handmade card, ilovedoingallthingscrafty, Stamps, how to,Christmas,

Hey Everyone!

You know what I love? Slimline cards and the amazing scenes you can create with all the extra real estate! You know what I hate? Taking photos of them especially for Instagram purposes because they don't fit nicely in the IG grid! Oh well, I guess it will be a love-hate relationship!

So enough venting, and let's get on with this fun rainbow inspired CAS Slimline Holiday Card.

CARD DETAILS

To begin, I die cut two of the Slimeline frames using the DOTTED SLIMLINE - SET 2, the scalloped one from white paper, and the larger one from a silver glitter paper.

I then placed the scalloped frame in the Misti and did some repeat stamping of these darling twig trees from the HAPPY SNOWMEN stamp set in rainbow colors using Distress Oxide Inks.

Next, I stamped out the greeting by combining a few sentiments from the HAPPY SNOWMEN and the CRAFTASTIC stamps sets.

To finish off this pretty Merry and Bright card, I added coordinating rainbow pearls along the trees. See links below for the complete list of colors used.

I really love how this colorful card turned out. Plus, the best part was how simple this card was to make! 

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