3D Birthday Wishes

Happy Friday, everyone! DT Annalisa here sharing a 3D birthday card with the adorable I Really Dig You stamp set and the coordinating dies.  I love this cute gardening scene; it makes me want to go outside and start planting my garden!

I ink-blended twisted citron Distress Ink and Oxide using my Beautiful Blender Brushes onto a green piece of patterned paper from the Gorgeous Gingham 6x6' Paper Pad. I die-cut this using the Platform Pop-Up die from Lawn Fawn to create the base and the grass areas. 

I used the Platform Pop-Up add-on die for the sky area. I die-cut white cardstock and ink-blended it with tumbled glass over a cloud stencil. I then added splatter using mermaid lagoon Distress Ink, water and a paintbrush.

I followed several instructional videos on YouTube from Lawn Fawn on assembling the interactive die. 

I stamped and coloured (with Copics) several images from the  I Really Dig You and cut them out with their coordinating dies. I added white gel pen accents with a Gelly Roll Pen.

I used liquid glue to stick the elements down to the platform pop-up to complete the scene.

How to Create A Double Sided Shaker Card

Hey there, Tea Timers!!  It's Amanda here sharing a really cool shaker card with you today!

Keep reading to see how I created this interactive card!

First, I die cut 2 scalloped frame dies of the same size.  You could use any frame dies for this project.  You could also use regular rectangle dies and just layer 2 of them to create your own frame!

Once cut, I put a thin strip of double sided tape around the entire frame.

Next, I cut down TWO pieces of acetate/window plastic to fit the frame.  I trimmed them with my trimmer, but you could also die cut them with your frame dies and they will fit perfectly!

Once I had them trimmed down, I removed the backing from my double sided tape and adhered the acetate to the frames.

Next, I used thin strips of deep foam tape to border ONE of the frames.

Then, I added my sequin/shaker mix in the center of the acetate of the non-taped frame.  After that, I simply removed my tape backing and attached the 2 frames together!

Now, for creating the rest of the card!  I stamped my images from the Just Married and You're Engaged Stamp Sets.  

Note:  These stamps sets are designed to work together!!  How cool is that?!  The cars, kitties and champagne glasses all line up so that you can create a 2 sided card!

Then, I colored them with Copic markers and die cut them out using the coordinating dies.  

Now, I can start adhering my images to the front and back of the card!

The last step is to create my sentiments for both sides of the card!  I trimmed 2 pieces of black cardstock that are the same size, stamped my sentiments with embossing glue ink, applied white embossing powder, and then melted the powder with my heat tool.

That's it!  Here are some more images of the finished card!

Creating a Shaker Card using the Walrus Be Friends Stamp Set

 

Happy Thursday, Tea Timers!  It's Amanda here!  Do you LOVE making shaker cards?!  I just think they're SO much fun and worth the amount of time that it takes to make them!

To create this card, I first ink blended a piece of white cardstock with Minted, All That Jazz, and Something Borrowed Catherine Pooler inks.  Then, I used the Waves Cover Die to cut it out.

Next, I glued my waves directly onto my white card base.  I added some sequins to the center.  I used double sided tape to adhere my acetate sheet to the die cut frame.  Then, I placed Deep Foam Tape around the entire edge of the frame.  Then, I could place my frame on my card base.

I then stamped my images from the Walrus Be Friends Stamp Set and colored them with OLO markers.  Then I die cut them with the coordinating dies.

The last step is to adhere my stamped images and sentiments to the card using 3D foam squares!

That's it for me today, friends!  I'll be back next Thursday for some more inspiration!  Xx, Amanda

Movie Time Shaker Card!

Happy Thursday, Tea Timers!  It's Amanda here!  Today I get to share with you how I made this birthday shaker card!  I don't know about you, but I just love making interactive cards!

To make this card, I grabbed a piece of red cardstock and ink blended Maker Forte's Telephone Box ink through the Popping Popcorn Stencil.  I also blended the edges all the way around.

Out of yellow cardstock, I die cut a framed die.  Any frame die would work, including the Waves Cover Die or the Stitched Window Cover Die.

To create the shaker part, I added an acetate sheet behind my yellow frame.  Then, I used deep foam tape all around the edge of my yellow cardstock.  I sprinkled some sequins and stars on my red cardstock and then placed my frame on top.

For my adorable little movie scene and sentiment, I stamped some images from the Movie Night stamp set.  I colored them with OLO Markers and then die cut them out with the coordinating dies.  Then, I attached them to my card front with 3D foam squares.  I also cut out the letters for "Happy Birthday" with some alphabet dies.

Thank you so much for stopping by the blog today!  I hope you're feeling inspired by this post!  Come back next week for another cheery card!

Xx, Amanda

 

Interactive Shaker Card

 

Hello friends!  It's Amanda back with another fun project using items from the NEWEST RELEASE!  

Today, I'm sharing how I have created this interactive shaker card!

First, I'm starting with a piece of teal cardstock cut down to 4" x 5.25".  Next, I'm going to blend All That Jazz Ink through the Flirty Flowers Stencil.  Once I've removed the stencil, I'm also going to blend the ink on the edges.

For my shaker, I'm going to cut a few circles.  I'm layering 2 circles to create a circle border out of a lighter yellow.  I'm also cutting out an orange circle and using the Tiger Stripes Stencil on it.  Lastly, I'm cutting a piece of acetate with the larger circle.

I'm stamping out my images from the Hey There Critters Stamp Set and the "hello" sentiment from the Let's Chat Stamp Set.  I've also grabbed another sentiment from the Brighter Days Sentiment Cards.  I'm coloring my images with Copic markers and then will die cut them with the coordinating dies.

Now, I'm ready to assemble my shaker element using 3D foam tape and some sequins.

Once my shaker is ready, I'm going to wrap some twine around my card front and then adhere my shaker, stamped images, and sentiments to my card front using 3D foam squares.

Now, I can attach my card front to an A2 sized card base!

That's it for me today!

Shaker Card with Hooray Hamsters

 

Hey, crafty friend! Are you ready for a shaker card today??  Me too!  

This card is super fun to make and super fun to shake!

I used a piece of A2 white cardstock and blended the background with All that Jazz ink.  Then, I used the darker Uptown ink around the edges to create some depth.  I spritzed the background with water and splattered a bit of white paint on it as well.  

I die cut my frame and placed a piece of clear acetate behind it.  Then, I added some deep foam tape around the edges.  This tape will hold my shakers inside the card.  I placed my sequins on my ink blended background, directly into the center.  Then, I placed my frame on top, being careful to avoid the sequins getting trapped under my foam tape.

I stamped my cute images from the Hooray Hamsters stamp set, colored them with Copic markers, and then die cut them out with the coordinating dies.  Then, I simply attached them to the front of the card with liquid glue and 3D foam squares.

That's it for me this week, friends!  I hope you loved this happy shaker card and it inspires you to make something fun today!
