Rainbow Snowflake Shaker Cards | Sprayed Stencil Backgrounds | Simon Says Stamp

Hello Friends, 

I am back today with these Rainbow Snowflake Shaker Cards featuring supplies from the Peace On Earth Release from Simon Says Stamp. The snail mail from the US to Canada is killing me... Simon Says has already had another Handmade Holiday Release since this one😱 Thankfully still plenty of time before Christmas!

I had fun creating these cards using my clear bag shaker technique, which makes the assembly process easy when making multiples.

Here is how these were made.

• Lay the snowflake stencil onto a white cardstock panel. Since the stencil is fairly delicate and light I used tape to hold the stencil in place. 
• Use sprays to add color to the background. Anywhere the stencil lays will remain white. I used 3 colors to create a rainbow mix using Distress Oxide Ink Sprays. (See links below)
• Remove the stencil to reveal the background for the first panel.
• Use the ink left on the stencil and flip it onto another white cardstock panel. Use a paper towel to press the image in place.
• I then dipped the stencil in the excess spray and gave it a light water spritz and repeated the previous step to create another background panel.
• Now to create the shakers themselves I used Version One of my Clear Bag Shaker Card Technique. Watch IG Reel below. Or you could easily create these cards using my original DIY Frameless Shaker Card design as well or use a premade shaker creator.

Here is a visual using a different background but the process is the same.

• For the shaker filler, I used a few of the Harmony Snowflake Dies along with Stars Glitter, Majestic Sequins, and a clear rainbow sequin mix that I have had for ages and couldn't tell you where they came from.

Below is the first background created with the sprays and the stencil over the panel. For this first card, I added an extra step to the clear bag. I used the Merry Hot Foil Plate to add the Merry using Aura Glimmer Foil to the top of the clear bag. You will need a Hot Foil System for this step or if you have a die you like you can just glue it to the front of the clear bag. I was so excited when I saw Amy Rysavy share this foiling technique on plastic in a recent post that I had to try it myself on these clear bags.

To the front of this card, I also added some more Harmony Snowflakes dies cut from Gold Foil Mirror cardstock. The Christmas Sentiment Strip comes from the Sentiment Strips Reverse Love Peace Joy set. I then finished the centers of the snowflakes with Iridescent Round Gems. 

These next cards feature the negative results of the sprayed stencils. I think I love these backgrounds more as the snowflake images are more visible. For these cards, I used sentiments from the Sentiment Strips Love Peace Joy, and added a Silver Mirrored Cardstock  Harmony Snowflake Dies to the fronts.

And finally, this last card was done exactly as the previous one only using a different sentiment. 

I know I have a shaker problem and I am slowly working through my issues one shaker at a time 😂 But honestly I am so happy to finally use the sequins and shaker bits that have I have been hoarding for years, and I still haven't really made a dent in them. I hope these fun-filled Rainbow Snowflake Shaker Cards inspired you today.

Colorful Snowflake Christmas Cards | Studio Katia

Hello, my friends! I hope you all are having a wonderful week so far.

Today I have some bright and colorful cards I made using backgrounds I recently created while playing with Tonic Shimmer Powders.

CARD DETAILS

So to begin I will share with you how these backgrounds came to life. I simply sprinkled Cherry Bomb, Solar Flare and Blue Blitz Shimmer Powders onto my craft mat and sprayed them with water. I then simply dabbed the watercolor paper into the colored puddles to create this first background and then just set the panel off to the side to dry.

Once the panel was dry I die cut it using the frame from the DOTTED PATTERNS SET 3 CREATIVE DIES. I then stamped out the snowflakes from the SNOWFLAKES and heat set them in white Embossing Powder. The sentiments come from the POINSETTIA BORDER set.

To add more sparkle, (which by the way the shimmer powders are already very sparkly but not very visible here in the photos) I also added some of the ICY SPARKLE CRYSTALS that I absolutely love and are some of my favorite right now!

The background of this second card was made using the leftover ink from the first card. I was so surprised to see how the colors mixed even more to create more of a blue/purple panel. Couldn't let all that goodness go to waste!

For this panel, I die cut it out first with the frame from the DARLING RIBBON AND FRAMES DIES and then I stamped 3 of the SNOWFLAKES and heat set them. I then used the coordinating SNOWFLAKE DIES to die cut the snowflakes out of the panel. Rather than creating a shaker card, which would have been fun too, I just popped the panel up onto the card front with FOAM TAPE and then glued the coordinating snowflake dies to the panel. Before I did that though, I dipped the snowflakes with glue along the bottom edge and sprinkled on some of the FROST GLITTER. I also added some glue dots to the background to have some of that glitter stick to the front as well.

The let is snow was simply die cut from sparkly white foam craft and just glued in place. To dot the "i" I used an ARCTIC BREEZE PEARL.

For even more shine I also added a few of the IRIDESCENT ICE FLAKES.

Alright before I leave here today, I have to tell you about the new Double Sided Foam Tapes from Studio Katia. They are awesome and I love that they come in BLACK AND WHITE! You get so much tape (36 yards to be exact), the tack is amazing and it can be torn. Plus the price is the best I have seen $25.00! Check it out, I promise you will love it as much as I do 😍

I hope you were inspired by today these Colorful Snowflake Christmas Cards.

Until next time... Happy Crafting 👋
