Fun Flat Holiday Shaker Cards feat. Catherine Pooler Designs Festive Joy Word Die

kittieslovecrafting

Hello friends. Want to make some fun interactive holidays cards that won’t cost you extra postage?!? Try making flat shaker cards. These cards, using the Trinity Stamps A-2 Card Flat Acetate Shaker Pouches and Catherine Pooler Designs Festive Joy Word Die were quick to make. The watercolor background takes a little longer due to drying time but doesn’t add much extra time to the process and it elevates the card with little effort.

For the first 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″ as well as two pieces of patterned paper from Catherine Pooler Designs From the Kitchen Of (came in the Baking Spirits Bright box) to 3-3/4 x 5-1/2″ and 4-1/4 x 5-1/2″ for the background.

I added the pattern papers inside one of the Trinity Stamps A-2 Card Flat Acetate Shaker Pouches and added sequins in pinks, reds, teal, light aqua and some peppermint polymer clay bits.

For the sentiment I die cut the word ‘JOY’ from Catherine Pooler Designs Festive Joy Word Die 3x from Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ to create nice thick letters; it adds some nice dimension. Lastly I stamped a sentiment from the CP Holiday Joy Sentiments Stamp Set onto Stampin’ Up! Real Red 8-1/2 x 11″ Cardstock with Lawn Fawn YETI Pigment Ink and added white embossing powder.

I finished off the card by adding some polymer clay peppermint sprinkles.

On the inside of the card, I cut a piece of Catherine Pooler Designs From the Kitchen Of Patterned Paper (came in the Baking Spirits Bright box) to 1 x 5-1/2″ and left the rest blank.

For the second card, I decided to step it up. 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″ as well as a piece of Strathmore 300 Series Bristol Paper to 4-1/4 x 5-1/2″ for the background.

I used Color Burst Powder Brights to watercolor the background. I also added some splatters with Zig Kuretake Gansai Tambi STARRY COLORS. I made sure the panel was really dry (I also put it under something heavy to flatten it some). Then put it inside a Trinity Stamps A-2 Card Flat Acetate Shaker Pouches and added flat gold and blue sequins.

Like the previous card I die cut the word ‘JOY’ from Catherine Pooler Designs Festive Joy Word Die 3x from Tim Holtz Idea-Ology Metallic Gold & Silver Kraft Stock Cardstock. For the rest of the sentiment, I stamped it using the CP Holiday Joy Sentiments Stamp Set onto Stampin’ Up! NIGHT OF NAVY 8-1/2 x 11″ Cardstock with Tsukineko Versamark Emboss Ink and added gold embossing powder.

I left the inside of the card blank.

Create a Shaker Card Using Word Dies! feat. Catherine Pooler Designs

kittieslovecrafting

Hello friends. Here’s an easy way to make a shaker card. Just use word dies to cut out the shaker window! This one was created using Catherine Pooler Designs Festive Joy Word Die.

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″ as well as a piece of watercolor paper to 4-1/4 x 5-1/2″ for the background.

For the back panel I used Color Burst Powder (Brights) to add watercolor. Then die cut it using the CP Dots & Scallops Dies. I stamped swirl from the CP It’s Magic Background Stamp with CP Midnight Ink.

I die cut the shaker window using the CP Festive Joy Word Die, added some acetate behind it as well as some foam tape. I added sequins in pinks, reds, greens and white iridescent to the shaker. And backed it with a piece of Simon Says Stamp Cardstock 100lb Black Cardstock.

I stamped a sentiment from the Catherine Pooler Holiday Joy Sentiments Stamp Set onto Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ with CP Midnight Ink and fuzzycut it. I also stamped the holly from the same set and colored using Copic markers. I used R59 & R27, YG17 & YG25.

On the inside of the card, I added the positive of the word joy I previously cut out and added another holly. And for the sentiment, I stamped a sentiment from the Catherine Pooler Holiday Joy Sentiments Stamp Set onto Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ with CP Midnight Ink and fuzzycut it.
