Christmas Tree Shaker Card | Honey Bee Stamps

Hello friends! 

At this moment, I am vacationing in Europe... but lucky for you I have pre-scheduled a few posts just in case you were missing me!

I couldn't let July go by without sharing a delightful Christmas in July card because it's never too early to start spreading holiday cheer! Today's creation showcases some fabulous new products from the Adventure Awaits Release, combined with timeless festive elements.

CARD RECIPE

Here's the step-by-step guide to re-create this beautiful card:

1. Begin by creating a shaker pocket using plastic from a cello bag or similar and a beautiful pattern paper from the brand-new Adventure Awaits Paper Pad. Fill the shaker with the enchanting Blizzard Confetti Mix.

2. Next I added some foam dots to the Oval die cut and attached it to the front of the card.

3. The layered tree comes from the Lovely Layers Trees set. To make it look more Christmasy, I added a top white layer, and then to it, I added some Liquid Applique and heat set it to make snow-like clumps. For a touch of sparkle, I then added glue and sprinkled on Prisma Glitter.

4. To finish the tree, I added the sentiment. The joy comes from the Bitty Buzzwords: Holidays Dies and the rest of the sentiment comes from the Bitty Buzzwords: Holidays stamp set. The strip was then die-cut using one of the banners from the Mini Messages Dies.

5. For a pop of color I used the red gems from the Make it Merry Sticker set.

6. Finally, I finished the front panel with a few large snowflakes and also added Crystal Glimmer Enamel Stickers to their centers.

7. To the inside, I stamped out the sentiment also from the Bitty Buzzwords: Holidays stamp set using Intense Black Ink.

May this Christmas in July card inspire you to get an early start on your Christmas cardmaking or at least see how you can incorporate non-holiday products into your Holiday cards.

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

Double-sided Interactive See-Through Birthday Shaker Card | Studio Katia

Do you want to create a card that will blow your friends and family away? Look no further than this see-through double-sided interactive shaker card featuring the A2 Shaker Pockets from Studio Katia. As the creator of these pockets, I thought it would be fun to try something new and different. Plus I thought this design would make a stunning creation for my son's 19th birthday, and which I'm thrilled to share it with you today in hopes of inspiring your own card-making adventures.

To start, you'll need to double up on the Dotted Balloons Dies and the Shaker Balloon Die to create both the front and back of the balloons. Then, add a personal touch by stamping the Birthday Greetings and Mini Love Greetings Stamp set onto the balloons. I even wrote 💗mom, one of them!

To create the shaker pocket, I adhered two A2 Shaker Pockets together using double-sided tape and added a frame from the Dotted Pattern Set 1 to both sides. Then, I secured a clear thread between the balloons before attaching them together. The final step is to fill the pocket with dazzling Crystal Rainbow Confetti and Silver Fever Foil Discs before sealing the pocket shut.

If you look close enough you will see that some of the acetate from the tabs are still visible. To solve for this you can trim them first, or just use a wider frame. Nevertheless, the result is a stunning card that is sure to impress anyone who receives it.

With a little creativity and the right tools, you too can create a show-stopping card that will be treasured for years to come. So, let your imagination run wild and make your own Double-sided Interactive See-Through Shaker Card!

Don't forget to follow along on my Instagram account as I will also share the how-to Reels so you can see it all come together.

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

Slimline Easter Gladiolus Shaker Card | Studio Katia

Hello dear friends, 

Hope you are having a wonderful week. Have you started on your Easter Cards yet? Like everything else, Easter will be here before you know it! This card was inspired by the new Gladiolus Set from Studio Katia because it made me think of Easter as soon as I saw it.

CARD RECIPE

• I began by stamping the Gladiolus a few times using watermark ink and then heat embossing it with gold Emb. pwd. onto watercolor paper.
• I then colored the images using Karin BrushMarker Pro. and die-cut them using the coordinating die and set the images aside.

• I then die-cut a slimline panel using the frame from the Mini Slimline Small Hearts Cover.
• Next, I die-cut the cross from the top half of the panel. I also die-cut the same cross using gold foil paper.
• To the back of the panel, I glued a piece of acetate and added foam to the edges to create the shaker window. I then added the shaker bits to the well and closed the window with another panel. To the front of the shaker window, I then glued the inside of the gold cross.

• Next, I die-cut the Script Easter Die 3 times, stacked them, and glued them together. To the top, I added a layer of glue and sprinkled Sparkle Glitter for shine.
• I then stamped the blessings from the Floral Cross and heat embossed it and die cut it using one of the banners from the Peony Trimmings Dies.
• To finish off the card I added a few scattered Sugar Glitz Discs for a little more sparkle.

I absolutely love how this card came together and hope it has inspired you to start on your Easter or Spring Cards. I think this would also make a beautiful sympathy card.

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