Flat Shaker Masculine Birthday Card feat. Lawn Fawn

Hello friends. Here’s a fun flat shaker card that could be for anyone but in keeping with my masculine card series, I think this one would work well for that theme. This is my first flat shaker but it turns out they are actually easier to make than a regular shaker. It’s win win in my book!

For this card, I cut a piece of Lawn Fawn 100lb Black Licorice Cardstock to 5-1/2 x 8-1/2″ and scored at 4-1/4″ to create a card base and a piece of Catherine Pooler Designs Arnold’s Drive-In Patterned Paper which I die cut with Lawn Fawn LARGE STITCHED RECTANGLE STACKABLES and inked with Catherine Pooler Oh Boy! Ink to tone it down a bit.

I took a clear bag in A2 size (I used the same ones I use for my finished cards) and slid the panel inside it. I taped the excess plastic on the sides to create a tight fit around the card panel. Next I added a bunch of different sequins and sprinkle shaker bits and sealed the top with more double sided tape.

I die cut the large sentiment from Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ as well as Lawn Fawn 100lb Black Licorice Cardstock using the Lawn Fawn Giant Happy Birthday Die. I stamped the rest of the sentiment from the Queen and Company Sentiment Stackers #1 Stampset onto Lawn Fawn 100lb Black Licorice Cardstock with Versamark Ink and White Embossing Powder.

I stamped the balloons from Lawn Fawn Set Elephant Parade Add-On Stampset with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink onto Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″. I colored them with Copic Markers. I used Y02, Y13 & Y17, BV00, BV13 & BV17, and YG01, YG25, and YG17.

On the inside of the card, I cut a piece of Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ to 3-3/4 x 5″ using the Lawn Fawn Small Stitched Rectangle Stackables. I also added a strip of the pattern paper measuring 1 x 3-3/4″ and another balloon.

Father's Day, Masculine

Quick and Fun Father’s Day Card feat. Feelin’ Fizzy

Hello friends. I’m bringing you another Father’s Day card using the Catherine Pooler Designs Feelin’ Fizzy stampset. It’s a really cute and fun set. Also having two step stamps for the bottles is a time saver!

For this card, I cut a piece of Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ to 10 x 7″ and scored at 5″ to create a card base, a piece of Simon Says Stamp 100# Black Cardstock to 4-3/4 x 6-3/4, another piece of Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ to 4-1/2 x 6-1/2″, and a piece of Catherine Pooler Designs Arnold’s Drive-In Patterned Paper to 1-3/4 x 6-1/2″.

For the background panel, I stamped the bubbles from Catherine Pooler Designs Feelin’ Fizzy stampset with Cummerbund Ink and the sparkles with Tiara Ink. For the bottles I used Catherine Pooler Designs Midnight Ink for the outlines and Rockin Red/It’s a Girl and Limoncello/Tiara Inks for the liquid.

I die cut the sentiment from Simon Says Stamp 100# Black Cardstock using the Lawn Fawn Father’s Day Line Border and stamped the sentiment and bottle cap from the CPD Feelin’ Fizzy stampset with Midnight Ink.

I finished off the card by adding some Milwaukee Sequin Mix.

On the inside of the card, I cut a piece of Simon Says Stamp 100# Black Cardstock to 1 x 6-3/4″ as well as a piece of the same pattern paper to 1 x 6″.
