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.

Here is a pic of what I was imagining... can you see the rainbows?

I'm not going to lie to you and tell you that this card was quick. I like to complicate things by using three colors to blend out the rainbow for each ornament. You can create a beautiful card using one color to blend with I am sure. 

The other thing I did was use 3 different pastes. Which meant I had to make sure each paste was dry before moving on to the next. But once the paste was all dry the rest was fun. I love to embellish the heck out of my cards, the more bling the better. 

Even though this card was time-consuming the results were worth it. I love how it turned out!

Watch an example of how this card was blended on the IG Reel Linked below.

Here is a recap of all the sneak peeks I created in case you missed any of them👇 

Day 1

Day 2

Day 3

I Miss You A Lotus Card | Ink On 3

Hello my friends, hope you are all doing well and staying safe.

Today's card is part of an Instagram Hop for Inkon3 to celebrate the release of their mini cube size inks. I love the regular size pads but these would be way easier to travel with. Join me over on Instagram if you want to take part in the hop and enter the giveaway!

Here is a breakdown of this no-line colored card.

CARD RECIPE

Stamps: 

• Lotus Stamp Set 

• WATER LILY (dragonfly)

Stencil:

• Curls Stencil

Paper: 

• Canson XL WATERCOLOR PAPER
• NEENAH SOLAR WHITE 110
• Vellum
• Grey Cardstock Panel

Ink:

•  Fadeout No Line coloring Ink Cube

• Atelier Sweet Petunia Pink Cube

• Atelier Marigold Orange Cube

• Atelier Goddess Green Cube

• ATELIER PEACOCK BLUE

• BLACKOUT INK

Adhesives:

•  BEARLY ART PRECISION GLUE

• FOAM SQUARES

Embellishments:

•  SPARKLING ROUND GEMS

Other:

• MED. WATER BRUSH
• LIQUID PIXIE DUST
• Glitz Glitter Gel
• Paper trimmer
• MEDIA SPATULAS

If you like no-line coloring you must try the Fadeout Ink and its magical properties. It really just takes on the color of media you choose, making it so easy to color. Once my images were colored in and dry, I fussy cut the pieces out and added them to the sparkly background that I had done using the Curls Stencil.

For the sentiment I stamped the I miss you using Blackout Ink onto a piece of vellum that I then trimmed.

I wish you could see this card in person, pictures just don't do it justice... it is so sparkly! I will share a video clip of it over on Instagram if you want to take a peek.

Hope this card inspired you today, thank you for stopping by and until next time... Happy Crafting!

Ilda 😊
