Happy Birthday Slimline Shaker Card | Studio Katia

Hello, my Friends and Happy Wednesday!

I have a fun Birthday Slimeline shaker card to share with you all today. I love making slimline cards and since this is a birthday card, I thought making it interactive would be fun for the recipient.

CARD DETAILS

To begin I stamped the cute little MINI BIRTHDAY CAKE and die cut it using the coordinating MINI BIRTHDAY CAKE DIE. I then colored the image in using Copic Markers.

The next step was to die cut all the pieces for the shaker card. I first die cut the larger frame from the DOTTED SLIMLINE - SET 2. I then die cut the center of the panel using the oval dotted frame from the DOTTED SLIMLINE - SET 1. Behind the slimline panel, I glued a piece of acetate cut large enough to cover the window. To line the perimeter of the oval opening I used FOAM TAPE that I cut to about half of the width.

On the slimline card base, I glued a piece of rainbow pattern paper from the BLACK, WHITE AND RAINBOW PAPER pack. Since the slimline is longer than the papers, I just extended the pattern by adding another piece of the same pattern that I cut to fit the card base. I then added the VANILLA LUSTER FUSION sequins to the center of the pattern paper and carefully lined up the front panel to create the shaker.

Next, I die cut the Birthday letters using the CHUNKY ALPHABET dies and added small pieces of BLACK FOAM to the back of each letter to add a bit of dimension and then attached them to the card front.

In place of the "A", I just added the cute little birthday cake that I had previously colored. I also added the "happy" sentiment that comes from the HAPPY CELEBRATIONS set that I heat embossed in white on black cardstock and then fussy cut.

To finish off this fun and festive slimline birthday card, I glued on a few rainbow-colored pearls. See links below for the ones I used. 

I hope this card inspired you today. Thank you for stopping by and until next time... Happy Crafting 👋

Missing You - Slimline Beach Shaker Card | Honey Bee Stamps

Hello friends and Happy Monday!

Like many of you, we will be having a staycation this summer. It's time to explore our own backyards and enjoy the nature around us. Thankfully we do have mountains and lakes a few hours away that we can explore. We will miss the beach this year, but hopefully, we will have things figured out for next summer as we would love to travel back to Europe to visit our family and maybe get that beach time in. Today's shaker card theme is about missing someone, so I thought it would be appropriate to create a missing you Beach card.

CARD DETAILS

To start, I began by die cutting 2 of the frames from the SLIMLINE SENTIMENTS EYELET DIES. I then used the MAKING WAVES LONG BORDER DIES to create the sand and the ocean waves using the inside die cuts of the SLIMLINE SENTIMENTS EYELET DIES. 

I used Antique Linen and Gathered Twigs Distress Oxide Inks (OI) to blend out the sand on the gentle waves and glued those pieces together and set them aside to use later on top of the shaker card.

For the top of the card panel, I blended out a soft sun using a circle from the CIRCLE SPOTLIGHT STENCIL and Fossilized Amber Distress Oxide Ink and glued that to the card base. For the sky, I used Broken China OI.

Next, I glued the ocean waves to the middle are of the card base that I had blended Mermaid Lagoon and Salty Ocean OI. The bottom area was left blank as the sand will cover up the area in the final steps of the card.

I then glued acetate to the scalloped slimline frame and added very thin strips of foam tape all around the edges and across the bottom just under where the sand will be. This will keep the shaker bits from falling all the way down under the sand and make the confetti more visible.

On the top half of the card base, I added my Confetti Mix (see links below) in a pile and then pressed the frame in place.

Before gluing down the sand area, I stamped the missing you sentiment from PARADISE BLOOMS.  I then finished off the card by stamping out a few images from the HELLO SUMMER set and did some simple no-line coloring using Copic markers and added them to the sand area.

I hope this Missing You card doesn't make you miss the beach too much but instead inspire you to send a card to a friend that you spend time with at the beach or anywhere else that reminds you of them.

Have a wonderful week! Thank you for stopping by and until next time... Happy Crafting 👋
