Pretty Pawsome Shaker Card - Heffy Doodle

Hello Crafty Friends! 

I am super excited to be a guest designer this month for Heffy Doodle. I love their adorable designs and am always happy to collaborate with them.

Ever since we got our puppy, Ruby (our COVID baby), I have become more aware of what pets mean to us humans. Sadly, I wasn't raised with animals and I must admit I had no clue about the bond we share with them. So today, I thought it would be fun to make some generic pawsome cards that could be used for any occasion celebrating a pet in your life. I purposely have left the inside blank to customize the card in the future.

CARD RECIPE

I wanted to make this shaker card as clean and simple as possible and still give it an interactive element.

• Die-cut the paw die from the Pretty Pawsome Dies from a card panel.
• Die-cut the panel now using the largest frame from the Scalloped Imperial Frames Dies you will use the negative of the die, not the scallop piece. 
• On another piece of paper, ink blend a yellow, pink, and blue ink to result in a rainbow blend. 
• Die cut the paw die from the Pretty Pawsome Dies again, this time using black card stock.
• Line up the die-cut paw pieces and glue them to the rainbow background.
• To the top layer, attach acetate to the back of the panel, and line the edges with foam tape to create space for the shaker pieces.
• Die cut the bone strip from the Pretty Pawsome Dies using white paper. Place the little bones and any other shaker bits in the center of the paw. 
• Remove the protective tape layer and secure the shaker window to the background that has been trimmed to the same size. 
• Glue the shaker frame to an A2 card base.
• Die cut the woof sentiment from the Pretty Pawsome Dies a few times and stack them. Line up the letters on the panel and glue them in place.
• Finish the card by adding a die-cut heart from the Happily Ever Crafter Dies to the shaker window.

Thank you for stopping by and joining me here for this pretty pawesome card, and until next time... Happy Crafting!

Lovely Layers Magnolia Cards | Honey Bee Stamps

Hello friends, and welcome back.

Today I am featuring the beautiful Lovely Layers: Magnolia Dies. These beautiful flowers are perfect for any occasion as you will see from the cards I'll be sharing.

CARD RECIPE

I won't go into too much detail as most of these cards were created by die-cutting and I am pretty sure you all can figure it out from the pictures. 

This first card could be for a friend, or rather really anyone you want to send your love to. It could also be used for a wedding. The foiled sentiments from the Foil Script: Wishes Hot Foil Plate/Dies just seem to elevate these cards to the next level giving them that extra finishing detail. To the centers of these magnolias, I blended some yellow ink.

This sympathy card was done the same way as the previous card only this time I used a white background with the Spring Leaves A2 Pierced Cover Plate. 

For the foiled sentiments, I used POLISHED BRASS - Glimmer Foil with the Hot Foil System. 

This last wedding shaker, I shared during the release on Instagram, but not here on the blog. For this card, I used the Circlescapes Shaker Frames to create the shaker parts for this easel card.

For this magnolia, I blended pink ink to the outside of the petals. I also used quite a bit of foam to make the flower look more dimensional. Obviously, this would not be a card I would send through the mail 😉

As I mentioned earlier, this is an easel card. To do that I added the shaker to a circle card base that I had scored in half to allow for the card to fold up and be displayed. Once again I used a sentiment from the Foil Script: Wishes Hot Foil Plate/Dies to create the stopper for the card to remain in the folded position.

I hope these Lovely Layers Magnolia Cards inspired you today and you saw that they could be used for any occasion. 

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

Ilda 💖
