Beach Waves Retirement Shaker Card | Honey Bee Stamps

Hello, crafty friends! 

Today, I'm excited to share a special shaker card with you. This beach-themed card was created for a dear friend and colleague, who is a doctor I've had the pleasure of working with for over 26 years. As he moves to a warmer climate, I wanted to send him off with a card that captures the essence of his new sunny surroundings.

CARD RECIPE

Create the Background:

• Use the Beach Break A2 Cover Plate to cut out the base of your card from a piece of cardstock.
• Place the Beach Break stencils over the corresponding areas of your background and blend Oxide Ink Pad VINTAGE PHOTO over the sand areas using Background Blender Brushes.
• Blend Oxide Ink Pad SALTY OCEAN over the water areas using Background Blender Brushes.
• Apply Paper GlazeTwinkle Lights for added texture and shine to both the sandy background and waves.

Create the Shaker Element:

• Insert the sandy background into a Bee Creative A2 Shaker Pocket.
• Add SUN LIGHT Confetti and any other shaker bits to the pocket.
• Seal the pocket and adhere it to a card base using Red Line Tape. 

Add Embellishments:

• Add a thin layer of glue to the edges of the waves and Sprinkle PRISMA GLITTER and Lawn Fawn Chunky Glitter over the wet areas for extra sparkle.

Create the Beach Scene:

• Use the Lovely Layers At The Beach Dies to cut out the beach umbrella, towel, and flip-flops from Americana Crepe Paper and other colored cardstock.
• Assemble the pieces and adhere them to the background.
• To the umbrella add a pearl from the Travel Pearl Stickers set.

Stamp and Die-Cut Sentiment:

• Stamp the "Toes in the sand, drink in the hand" sentiment from the Rest & Relaxation Stamps set using the Bee Creative Intense Black Ink Pad.
• Die-cut the sentiment using the coordinating Rest & Relaxation Dies and adhere it to the card.
• On the inside of the card stamp the retirement sentiment from the same set.

I hope this card brings a smile to my colleague's face and serves as a small reminder of our many years of working together. Creating this beach-themed card was a joy, and I hope you enjoyed this tutorial and feel inspired to create your own sunny scenes. 

Thanks so much for stopping by and until next time... Happy crafting!

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!

Ilda👋
