Mini Holiday Floral Shaker Card | Honey Bee Stamps

Festive holiday shaker card featuring layered pink and red floral die-cuts, a textured brick background, gingham patterned paper in the shaker window, and a "Happy Holidays" sentiment. Embellished with pearl stickers and glitter for added sparkle.

Hello, crafty friends! Today, I'm sharing a festive shaker card I created for Honey Bee Stamps using mostly new goodies from the Cozy Christmas Release. This project combines some lovely floral layers with a cozy, textured background, perfect for sending "Happy Holidays" wishes. Let’s dive into the details of how I brought this card to life!

CARD RECIPE
  • Layering Vintage Labels Honey Cuts – Frame for the shaker window
  • Rustic Brick Wall 3D Embossing Folder – Embossed background
  • Gingerbread Village Paper Pad – Background patterned paper
  • Cello Sheets – To create the shaker window
  • Great Greetings: Holiday Honey Cuts – Sentiment
  • Lovely Layers: Mini Holiday Florals Honey Cuts – Floral elements
  • Bee Creative Clear Embossing Ink & Clear Embossing Powder – For the sentiment's glossy finish
  • Gingerbread Pearl Stickers – As embellishments
  • Prisma Glitter – Added sparkle to the florals
  • Iridescent Chunky Confetti – For the shaker filler (discontinued product, link to similar product)
  • Copic Pigment - White Splatter

  • Lovely Layered Florals

    For a beautiful floral touch, I used the Lovely Layers: Mini Holiday Florals Honey CutsAfter die-cutting, I ink-blended each piece and added extra depth with Copic markers, and then I splattered white ink to enhance the wintry feel. Once assembled, I set the floral elements aside to work on the shaker frame.


    Creating the Shaker Front

    To create the front of the shaker, I die-cut the largest frame from the Layering Vintage Labels Honey Cuts out of white cardstock. Next, I ran it through the Rustic Brick Wall 3D Embossing Folder to add cozy brick detailing to the card front. Then I set this piece aside while I prepared the background.


    Building the Background

    For warmth and a rustic touch, I selected a charming gingham pattern from the Gingerbread Village Paper Pad for the background. I trimmed the paper slightly larger than the window opening, added the shaker bits in the center, and adhered a cello sheet over the area using liquid glue along the perimeter. Since these shaker bits add minimal bulk, foam tape wasn’t necessary. Finally, I attached this piece behind the shaker window, creating a charming holiday scene, and adhered it to the card base.

    Adding the Florals

    With the shaker component in place, I arranged the floral elements from the previous steps around the card. I used foam adhesive to elevate some of the pieces, giving the design depth and dimension.


    Sentiment

    For the "Happy Holidays" sentiment, I used the Great Greetings: Holiday Honey Cuts. To give the letters a glossy, dimensional look, I applied Bee Creative Clear Embossing Ink and heat embossed them with clear embossing powder. This subtle shine makes the sentiment pop against the background, adding thickness and rigidity to the die cuts.


    Final Touches
    For the finishing touches, I applied Prisma Glitter to parts of the florals, adding a festive sparkle. I also used Gingerbread Pearl Stickers as embellishments to enhance the holiday feel. These small details bring the card to life, making it perfect for spreading holiday cheer!

    Hello again! I am back once again today to share with you a few cards I made to help celebrate Crafty Meraki's Second Anniversary

    Join me over on Instagram as I am super excited to participate in the Crafty Meraki IG Anniversary Hop. ONE lucky winner will win the FULL RELEASE BUNDLE 💃🏻🎉 and ONE additional winner will win 💵 $100 gift card to redeem towards Crafty Meraki Products!! 



    Since it is their birthday I thought a birthday shaker would be fun to make. This mini slimline frameless shaker features the new Party Balloons Mini Slimline Meraki Para-dies that I paired with the sentiments from the Birthday Slimline Tag.

    If you are curious about how this shaker was assembled, click HERE for a video I made a while ago. To create the background there was a lot of paper piecing happening here. I die cut the Party Balloons Mini Slimline Meraki Para-dies 3 times, one white layer and two black layers. For the white layer, I ink blended all the balloon colors using distress oxide inks. I then sandwiched the white layer between the two black ones. For the top black layer, I snipped the inside out just using the black frame.

    For the next two cards, I kept them super simple and just focused on the flowers. I sometimes like to keep the sentiments off the card until I am ready to send it to someone. This way they are more versatile. Both finished cards are 5X7s.

    To create this first one I used masking tape to block off a frame, and then added the ink blended grass and sky. Next, I die cut and pieced together the June Meraki Fora Para-Dies.

    I then added the Meraki Sparkle Prismatic Green Crystals. To the centers, I also added some tiny beads.

    This next card features the Madison Meraki Flora Para-Dies. The fun part about these dies is the cut lines in the flowers. They allow you to easily do some masking for ink blending, which is awesome if you want to use more than one color. I just slipped post-it paper in the cut lines and then blended.

    You can see on the left flower my masking wasn't perfect, but I learned from my mistakes when I blended the one on the right.

    To finish up this card I added some Meraki Sparkle Prismatic Blue Crystals, even though they are blue they reflect a lot of purples.

    I hope these Merakiversary Cards inspire you today. Happy 2nd Birthday Crafty Meraki, and thank you for inviting me to join you on your special day. To join the Hop click HERE.

    Tonic Studio September 2020 Heartfelt Corsage Stamp Blog Hop

    Tonic Studios, September 2020, Heartfelt Corsage, Blog Hop,Giveaway,Happy Mail Envelop,floral cards,Card Making, Stamping, Die Cutting, handmade card, ilovedoingallthingscrafty, Stamps, how to,

    Hello, my crafty friends, and welcome to Tonic Studios September 2020 Heartfelt Corsage Stamp Blog Hop! If you have arrived from Jen Kray's Blog you are on the right track. I will link the complete hop list and giveaway details near the end of this post, so stay tuned!

    I have created two cards today featuring the new Heartfelt Corsage Stamp and Die Bundle US|UK as well as a couple of coordinating card envelopes using the new Happy Mail Envelop Stamp Set US|UK. Take a look at these sets.



    Both these sets come in high-quality plastic sleeves, that are compatible to work with A5 ring binders. How cool is that!? They come in an Orange US|UK or Blue binder US|UK.
     

    So now let me show you how I used these sets.

    CARD DETAILS

    For this first card, I was inspired by the colors of Fall. I began by stamping out the largest floral image from the Heartfelt Corsage Stamp US|UK, using a no line coloring ink onto Bristol paper and then I used Karin Brushmarkers to color the image in. I also used Prismacolor Pencils to add details and shading to the florals.

    I then die cut the image using the Heartfelt Coordinating Dies that come included in the bundle US|UK.

    The background was created using the Egyptian Gold Crackle Mousse US|UK along with the Dancing Petals Mosaic Stencil. Once the mousse was all dry and crackly (which is super cool, btw), I trimmed the panel down and then popped on the floral images that I had trimmed into three pieces. 

    To finish the card front, I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment onto a piece of black cardstock that turned into a banner.

    For extra finishing touches, I used a gold gel pen to add details to the flower centers. I then topped the centers with glossy accents and then completed the card by adding a scattering of gold pearls.

    For the coordinating envelope, I used both the stamps from the Heartfelt Corsage Stamp US|UK and the Happy Mail Envelop Stamp Set US|UK.

    Here is how I finished the back. Love that little snail. So cute!

    My next card was summer-inspired. As you can see it has more of a soft rainbow palette. This time, I stamped and heat embossed the images using gold embossing powder. 

    Tonic Studios, September 2020, Heartfelt Corsage, Blog Hop,Giveaway,Happy Mail Envelop,floral cards,Card Making, Stamping, Die Cutting, handmade card, ilovedoingallthingscrafty, Stamps, how to,

    Once again I used Karin Brushmarkers to watercolor the images in. After everything had dried, I used the Heartfelt Coordinating Dies to cut the images.

    Tonic Studios, September 2020, Heartfelt Corsage, Blog Hop,Giveaway,Happy Mail Envelop,floral cards,Card Making, Stamping, Die Cutting, handmade card, ilovedoingallthingscrafty, Stamps, how to,

    I then added foam tape under all the die cuts and then place the floral onto the card panel, trimming any excess that hung off the edges. This time I cut the larger image into two pieces. The birthday sentiment also comes from the Heartfelt Corsage Stamp set that I stamped and heat embossed using gold embossing powder.

    To finish off this beautiful card, I used some sparkly crystals and added glossy accents to the flower centers.

    Here is how I finished the coordinating envelope using the Happy Mail Envelop Stamp Set US|UK. I really like all of the possibilities and sentiments this set offers.

    Some of the sentiments just crack me up like this one that I had to use on the back of the envelope... "Not licked," Of course, cause of COVID, duh. But once this Pandemic is over, I will definitely be using "Licked. With my spit" stamp for sure, LOL!
