Embossed Shaker Cards

Today's cards focus on using items from my stash.  I wanted to use a variety of supplies in my craft room that I have not yet used or haven't used in quite a while.  
I didn't have a plan in mind, but I know I wanted to start by using the WendyVecchi Country Flowers Make Art Stamp, Die, and Stencil set.  I stamped the outlines of the flower, leaves, and butterfly using Versafine Onyx Black ink onto white cardstock.  I filled in the images by stamping with a variety of colors of Memento inks.  I cut out the images using the coordinating dies.


I matched the stamped images with different colors of scrap paper. The background panels were embossed using Tim Holtz Alterations embossing folders.  I adhered the back panels to white card bases using double-sided tape.  For the front panel of the shaker cards, I die cut a window out of the cardstock panels using a border die.  I embossed these panels using Cricut Cuttlebug embossing folders.  I used double-sided tape to adhere a piece of acetate to the back of the front panels.  I placed transparent pink sequins onto the back panels and glued the front panels to the back panels using foam tape.


I used liquid glue to adhere the flower, leaves, and butterfly to the card fronts.  I already had a few foiled sentiments from previous projects.  I die cut the sentiments using a banner die and adhered the sentiments to the card fronts using liquid glue.
It was fun to shop through my stash and see the evolution of these embossed shaker cards.  I hope these cards inspire you to take a look around your craft room and start using those supplies you fell in love with but haven't used in a while.

Ready Player One

Today's card is a fun virtual reality birthday card created in Cricut Design Space and features a vibrant title backed by an alcohol inked panel. A couple of years ago, my son and I read the book Ready Player One,  a science fiction book about humanity's use of virtual reality to escape the real world. Fast forward a few years and now he wants his own virtual reality headset for his birthday.  I created this card for him to celebrate our love for this book and to serve as a precursor of the birthday gift that was to come. While creating this card, I wore the movie T-Shirt I bought last year so I could mimic the movie title font and colors.  I needed an easy way to make the title out of rainbow colors so I placed a few colors of alcohol ink on a felt pad and swiped it across Yupo Paper.  I downloaded and installed the font used for the movie title and cut the title out of a black A2 card panel using Cricut Design Space.  I backed the black card panel with th...

Glimmer Hot Foil Birthday Cards

Today's cards are part of my stash-busting series.  This is where I look around my craft room and grab a bunch of supplies that I haven't yet had the chance to use.  The results yielded two glimmer hot foiled birthday cards. I used the smooshing technique to apply Mustard Seed and Worn Lipstick Distress Oxide inks onto white card panels.  After the panels were dry, I used the Spellbinders Glimmer Hot Foil System along with the Scattered Flowers and Diamonetta Background Glimmer plates to add Aura Glimmer Hot foil to the card panels.   The card panels were mounted onto pink cardstock.  I used the same Aura foil to glimmer the Happy Birthday sentiment onto white cardstock.   I cut the sentiment using a Momenta nesting border die.  I used a slightly larger border die to cut a sentiment border from the pink cardstock.  I cut pink and yellow flowers using the Sizzix Spring Things die set.  I ran the flowers and sentiment border through t...

Spellbinders Club Kit Valentine's Day Cards

Today's cards feature the Spellbinders January Small Die of the Month and the Glimmer Hot Foil Club Kits.  I couldn't wait to combine these two kits to create some Valentine cards. I used the dies from the Small Die of the Month kit to cut several pieces from pink and white cardstock as well as red and gold foil cardstock.  I used the Glimmer Hot Foil sentiment glimmer plates to glimmer several sentiments in red and gold foil onto white cardstock.  For each card, I glued the decorative frame to a white card base.  I added the smaller die cut panel to the decorative frame. For the shaker cards, I die cut the large frame out of white cardstock and trimmed off the decorative edges.  I adhered one of the smaller foil die-cut panels to this piece.  I trimmed down the edges some more leaving a small border around the inner panel.  I used the included heart die-cut to cut out a heart from the center of this white cardstock panel just inside the heart that was...
