Happy Weekend Friends!
I hope you all have been well. I have been meaning to share this card for a while but hadn't gotten around to it. To be honest, life has been getting in my crafty way, lol 😆. A couple of weeks ago, I broke my ankle when I missed one of my stairs, and although it is way better already, I am still limping around. I have been trying to be a good patient, but when you have ants in your pants it can be quite the blow. So needless to say I was feeling a bit down and blue last week and binge-watched all the shows. Being on social media made me feel worse cause I want to do all the things and can't, plus being on the phone too long strains my eye. But this week I finally made it down to my craft room and found a comfortable way to support my ankle while I create for short periods. Crafting has always been a great distraction and thankfully it has been helping with my winter blues, and these problems I am having! Anyways, let's talk about this cute Mini Slimline Shaker Card featuring the cutest little gnomes from Studio Katia.
CARD RECIPE
I was inspired to make this card from a scrap piece of blended background I had previously made. I thought the new Mini Slimline Small Hearts Cover would make the cutest little rainbow shaker pieces for a shaker card. So that was exactly what I did, and then began the rest of the card.
- Stamp out the gnomes from the Gnomies Stamp set using copic-friendly ink.
- Color images using Copics, and add white gel pen details for highlights.
- Die cut the stamped images using the coordinating Gnomies Dies.
- Stamp the sentiment from the stamp set onto the smallest Simple Dotted Hearts die cut.
- For the shaker pocket, I die-cut the background using the outer frame of the Mini Slimline Small Hearts Cover.
- Next, I used the Mini Slimline Shaker Pockets to create the shaker.
- Before sealing the last tab, I added die-cut hearts, making sure that the colored side was face up. I also added some Sugar Glitz Discs and Silver Fever Foil Discs.
- I then glued the shaker pocket onto a mini slimline card base, the same size as the pocket.
- To finish I glued the heart onto the front of the pocket and then added the gnomes using foam tape.
- I then completed that card by gluing on a few of the Bubblegum Pearls.
On the Studio Katia Blog today they are announcing the current Design Team. I am happy to continue another term with this amazing group of artists. I also love that I am helping to support a local to me small Canadian Stamp Company. To learn more about the small but mighty team, stop by the SK Blog.
Thank you for stopping by and until next time... Happy Crafting!
