Birthday Time!!!

Hello, hello!  It is Lisa here and as per usual on Wednesdays I am here to share a little fun and inspiration using the amazing Mint Owl Studio Goodies, woot woot!!!  Today I am sharing a Birthday Shaker Card that I've created with lots of newer released products...

To create this card I started by die cutting all of the pieces I would need from the Packaged Pretty Dies to create the shaker gift box.  Once that was put together I set it aside and stamped a strip of stars from the Birthday Bash set in yellow.  I then adhered the present and stamped the sentiment from the Party Pals set.  ( I should also note that I did cut the inside of the present out to create the shaker, as this die is one full cut.)

Thanks so much for stopping by and Happy Crafting!

Get Whale Soon Shaker Card!!

HELLO!!
Larissa here to start the Week off with a SWEET Get "Whale" Soon Shaker Card!! I just LOVE LOVE LOVE the New "Get Well Critters" Stamp Set and thought it would be FUN to add some Flowers to the Belly of the Whale Image for a more Femine Design!! I Stamped and Embossed the Whale Image onto some Distress Watercolor Paper using Hero Arts White Embossing Powder!! Then I took the Flower Wreath Image from the "Bundles of Joy" Stamp Set and Stamped and Embossed it onto the Belly of the Whale again with White Embossing Powder!! I used Distress Inks to Watercolor the Images and then Die Cut some Waves and a Background for my Shaker Window!! I added the Sequins and a Sentiment in a NEW Stitched Die coming SOON (make sure to Join us Next Week for the Release Introductions for August!!) I added some Twine, some Flowers and the Whale to Finish of the Front of the Card!! I LOVE the way it turned out and think it will bring a MUCH needed SMILE to someone's Face!!

How to Make A Baby Shaker Card (Video Tutorial)

Hello!

It's Tracy here with a video tutorial for you!  I love shaker cards, so I thought I would share how to create a shaker card with our stamps and sequins.  I hope you enjoy the video!

Watch here || Watch on YouTube

I stamped my own background with the flower image in a light gray color.  I also inked the edges with the Tumbled Glass Distress Ink to help define the edges.  For the inside of the shaker card, I added the Blue Blossoms mix.  This mix is perfect for shaker cards because it has sequins and beads.

I colored in both the bundled owl and cat images from the Bundles of Joy set to add to the card.  Two animals is always better than one!  I added in a few of the flower sequins onto the outside of the card.
