Joyful Christmas in July Cards and Tags | Waffle Flower

Hello Friends!

If you have been following me on Instagram you may have already seen most of these projects. I am thrilled to be joining my friends at Waffle Flower to celebrate their Christmas in July Release this month.

So here is a recap of the projects I have shared. Check out the links below for the supplies used.

With this first shaker card, I was able to create two projects from one background. I first blended out the rainbow stripes using the HOLIDAY STRIPES STENCIL with Atelier Inks and then added the snowflakes using the SNOWFLAKE Background Stencil and Glimmer Glitz gel. 

Once the background was dry, I used one of the tags from the NESTING TAGS Dies, to die cut the window for the shaker and then used plastic packaging to create the flat shaker window onto the card base using double-sided tape, no foam. 

For my next project, I used the cutout piece from the card to create a coordinating flat frameless shaker tag. To do this, simply create a pocket around the front of the tag. Fold back and secure the plastic cut pieces that hang over the edge of the tag to the backside, leaving an opening to fill with shaker bits. Then seal the last flat in place. If you like visuals, check out my IG Reel to see these come together.

I added a stamp from the CHRISTMAS TAG ELEMENTS and the sentiments from the OVERSIZED JOY Clear Stamps.

To create the seamless flat shaker, I glued another tag that I stamped the to and from from the same set. Add an eyelet to the top of the tag to seal the shaker bits in the tag and embellish the top with a bell or however you like.

This next flat frameless shaker tag was done the same way using the largest die from the NESTING TAGS Dies and using the OVERSIZED JOY Word Dies. For this tag, I used white embossing paste first on holographic rainbow cardstock using the SNOWFLAKE Background Stencil.

Once again I stamped the same sentiments on the backside from the CHRISTMAS TAG ELEMENTS.

I had so much fun creating these tags that I had to make more. This time I used Glitz Gel on the Holographic Rainbow cardstock with the SNOWFLAKE Background Stencil.

This final Joy to the world card was created by ink blending the rainbow trees on the background using the DUO TONE CHRISTMAS TREE Stencil. I then repositioned the stencil to add the glitter trees.

I love this OVERSIZED JOY Word Die. It is large enough to be the center of attention on this card front, especially when it's done in glitter paper.

I hope you were inspired by my Christmas Creations today! I am so happy I have some Christmas projects all ready to go for Christmas as I feel like I never have enough when Christmas time comes around and before you know it it will be here!

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

Cheers to 70 Years | Frameless Shaker Birthday Card | Honey Bee Stamps

Hello Friends and Happy Monday!

Today I have another Frameless Shaker Card to share with you. We have a ton of birthday celebrations and this during the summer and this year I needed to make a special one for my God Father who turned 70. You can change up the colors, the year, and customize a card like this for any occasion.

CARD DETAILS

I began by stamping out the images from the RAISE A GLASS stamp set onto the background using Blackout Ink. I then used Ateliers Inks (see links below for colors) to add color to the background.

Next, I cut a piece of acetate to 4.75 x 6 inches. I then centered the panel on the acetate, this will leave you with a 1/2 inch around the perimeter of the card panel to score and fold. I cut off the corners to make the folding easier. To the backside edges of the panel, I added Scor-tape to secure the flaps in place. Once 3 of the sides were glued down I then used AURORA LIGHTS Confetti Mix and the BOKEH LIGHTS Confetti to add the shaker bits to the pocket. I then sealed the last acetate flap down and attached the shaker panel to the card base. For a visual of a similar card, I have made in the past click → HERE.

For the Sentiments:

• I used the BEE BOLD NUMERIC DIES for the 70. 
• The "Cheers" comes from the SIP SIP HOORAY  that was stamped on black card stock and heat embossed in white. I then used the coordinating SIP SIP HOORAY DIES to die cut it.
• The "to" and the "years" comes from the BRIE MINE stamp set. For the years I had to get a bit creative and piece together the "y" from lucky and the ears stamp together. I then did some partial die-cutting to cut out the word using the coordinating ears die from BRIE MINE HONEY CUTS and then fussy cut around the "y". 

I hope this cheerful Frameless Shaker Birthday Card inspired you today. I love how the shaker elements somehow make a card more festive!

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