Super Easy Technique! Creating a Shaker Background Using Shape Dies

Hello friends. St. Patrick’s Day is just around the corner. Here is a fun way to make a shaker card. I used the Lawn Fawn Lucky Clovers dies to create windows for this fun shaker card background. This card also uses NO stamping. I know some folks out there don’t like stamping. It’s just not there thing so using dies will eliminate stamping.

For this card, I cut a piece of Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ to 5-1/2 x 8-1/2″ and scored at 4-1/4″ to create a card base. And second piece cut to 4-1/4 x 5-1/2″ which I then die cut out windows using the Lawn Fawn Lucky Clovers dies. I backed the panel with Acetate cut to the same size and added 3M Foam Tape around all the clovers. I added gold sequins, Martha Stewart Yellow Iridiscent Star Glitter and Queen and Company Yellow Diamond Toppings and backed the panel with a piece of patter paper from Authentique 6 x 6 Emerald Paper (discontinued) cut to 4-1/4 x 5-1/2″.

I die cut the sentiment from Authentique 6 x 6 Emerald Paper (discontinued) and 2x from Simon Says Stamp Cardstock 100# 8-1/2 x 11″ Black Cardstock using Stampin’ Up! Word Wished Dies (retired) and stacked them to give the sentiment dimension.

I finished off the card by adding some gold sequins from my stash.

On the inside of the card, I added clovers die cut from Authentique 6 x 6 Emerald Paper (discontinued) using the Lawn Fawn Lucky Clovers dies.

Stenciled Background Using Shape Dies

Hello friends. I am in love with the Ranger Simon Hurley Lunar Pastes! So many beautiful colors and I love the metallic sheen too! Need to get more of them! I used it a stencil created from shaped dies. So much fun to use!

For this card, I cut a piece of Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ to 5-1/2 x 8-1/2″ and scored at 4-1/4″ to create a card base and another piece to 4 x 5″. I also cut a piece of Simon Says Stamp Cardstock Holographic Rainbows Cardstock to 4-1/4 x 5-1/2″.

Next, I created a stencil out of Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ ( 6 x 6″) by die cutting the clovers with the Lawn Fawn Lucky Clovers dies. I used Simon Hurley Minty Fresh and Later Gator Lunar Paste.

I die cut the main part of the sentiment from Tim Holtz Idea-ology 8 x 8 Metallic Kraft Stock and 2x from Simon Says Stamp Cardstock 100# 8-1/2 x 11″ Black Cardstock using the Lawn Fawn Henry’s ABCs. I stacked them before adhering to the card. I added some clovers die cut from Simon Says Stamp Cardstock Holographic Rainbows Cardstock.

On the inside of the card, I cut a piece of the Simon Says Stamp Cardstock Holographic Rainbows Cardstock to 1 x 4-1/4″ and stamped a sentiment from Lawn Fawn’s Happy Happy Happy add-on stamp set with Tim Holtz Rustic Wilderness Distress Ink.

Watercolored Shaped Card: St. Patrick’s Day

Hello friends. I’m bringing out an oldie but goodie from Honey Bee Stamps to make this fun St. Patrick’s Day card. I used the Honey Bee Stamps Frappe Shaker Card (which I’ve used a ton because I truly love it!) and combined it with the Lawn Fawn Lucky Clovers to make a quick card. Who doesn’t love a green drink?!

For this card, I die cut a piece of Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ with the Honey Bee Stamps Frappe Shaker Card (I think it may discontinued) to create the card base. And a piece of Cold Press Watercolor Paper die for the top panel and the whip cream portion which I will be watercoloring.

I used my Kuretake Gansai Tambi 36 Watercolor Paints and Kuretake Gansai Tambi Starry Colors Watercolor to color the two pieces. I used a light and dark green as well as a light gold for the cup. And a white gold with a light gold for the whip cream.

I colored the cup lid part of the card base with Tumbled Glass Distress Ink. Then die cut the lid from Acetate and the straw from Authentique 6 x 6 Emerald Paper (discontinued). I die cut the clover from Tim Holtz Idea-ology 8 x 8 Paper Stash METALLIC KRAFT STOCK using the Lawn Fawn Lucky Clovers.

I finished off the card by adding some gold sequins from my stash.

On the inside of the card, I added clovers die cut from Authentique 6 x 6 Emerald Paper (discontinued) using the Lawn Fawn Lucky Clovers dies.

I finished it off by adding some Nuvo Drop in Bright Gold and Sunlit Meadow.

On the inside of the card, I stamped Happy Happy Happy Add-on using Catherine Pooler Grass Skirt Ink and added a gold clover.
