Hello friends. Continuing on my quest to make birthday cards and give new life to some older supplies, I made this flat shaker. I pulled out some older Catherine Pooler Designs stampsets for this one and combined it with some modern elements like the flat shaker to create a fun interactive card!

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 the card base and another piece to 4-1/4 x 5-1/2″.

I stamped one of the graphic images from the Catherine Pooler Designs Perfect Blend Stampset (discontinued) with Catherine Pooler Designs Sand Castle Ink and then ink blended the background to create a gradient with Catherine Pooler Designs Sand Castle Ink and Catherine Pooler Designs Over Coffee Ink.

I adhered the panel to one of the Trinity Stamps A-2 Card Flat Acetate Shaker Pouches. You must adhere three sides first, add your sequins then seal the fourth side. I used Honey Bee Stamps Freshly Brewed Sequin Mix, as well as some aqua and yellow ones from my stash.

I stamped the coffee cup, graphic image, and beans from Catherine Pooler Designs Perfect Blend Stampset (discontinued) onto Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ with Catherine Pooler Designs Hot Tub and Over Coffee Inks. I stamped the diagonal stripe piece from Catherine Pooler Designs For Everything Stampset (discontinued) with CP Sauna Ink.

And stamped a sentiment onto Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ from Catherine Pooler Designs For Everything Stampset (discontinued) and Honey Bee Stamps Mini Messages: Birthday Stampsets and fussycut around it. I used some Foam Tape to pop up the coffee cup and some of the beans.

kittieslovecrafting

Hello friends. There are still a few more weeks left of Fall and even though I’ve been knee deep in Christmas card making, I wanted to make some more Fall cards. I brought out some Honey Bee Stamps stamps and dies for this one. An easy way to make a dimensional background without having to emboss is to use diecuts.

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, another piece to 4 x 5-1/4″, and a piece of Catherine Pooler Designs Sunflower Fields Forever 6 x 6 Paper to 4-1/4 x 5-1/2″.

I die cut a bunch of die cut words from Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ using the Honey Bee Stamps Honey Cuts Autumn Die (retiring soon) which I glued to the white panel.

I stamped some images from the Honey Bee Stamps Happy Fall Y’all 4×6 Stamp Set onto Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored them with Copic Markers. I used Y13, Y18, & Y18, E25 & E29, and YG25 for the sunflower; YG03, YG25 & YG67 for the stems and leaves; Y13, Y18, & Y18, C5 & C9, R20, BG10 & 0 (blender) for the bees. I use the coordinating dies to cut out the images. I popped up the bee with Stampin’ Up! Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from Honey Bee Stamps Autumn Stampset (recently retired) onto Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink.

On the inside of the card I stamped a sentiment from the Lawn Fawn THANKS THANKS THANKS Stamps with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and added a strip of pattern paper from Catherine Pooler Designs Sunflower Fields Forever 6 x 6 Paper measuring 1 x 4-1/4″ as well as a sunflower and bee.

kittieslovecrafting

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.

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.

Dollar Store Crafts: Easy Valentine’s Day Cards Using Gift Bags

kittieslovecrafting

Hello friends. I decided to challenge myself and make Valentine’s Day cards using Dollar Tree products and a few of my own stamps and dies. My Dollar Tree doesn’t have an abundance of craft supplies like stamps but they have enough that you can create some fun crafts. Three of the cards use only Dollar Tree products.

I found some gift bags in the Valentine’s Day section that I used to replace my pattern paper as well as some doilies, 5/8″ ribbon, and confetti I used to decorate my cards. The doilies (30 count), ribbon (9ft), and confetti (1oz.) packages contain enough product to make several type of crafts so it’s a steal at $1.25! Ok let’s get into the making of the cards.

I stamped the rest of the sentiment onto Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ with Memento Tuxedo Black with the Simon Says Stamp LOVE stampset (discontinued) and die cut it with the Queen and Company’s Foundation 18.

On the inside of the card, I cut a piece of stamped a sentiment from Lawn Fawn’s Happy Happy Happy Stamp Set with Memento Tuxedo Black and added a 1 x 4-1/4″ strip of the same gift bag.

For the second card, I cut a piece of Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ to 7 x 10″ and scored at 5″ to create a card base. I took one of the gift bags and cut a piece to 4-3/4 x 6-3/4″. I added a Heart-Shaped Paper Doily to the front panel as well.

Then I die cut the word “XOXO” from the metallic gift bag using Lawn Fawn Giant XOXO dies 3 times and adhered them to the card.

On the inside of the card, I stamped a sentiment from Lawn Fawn’s Happy Happy Happy Stamp Set with Stampin’ Up! Poppy Parade Ink and added a 1 x 5-1/2″ strip of the same gift bag.

Hello friends. Want to make an impactful background with little effort. Try using an emboss resist technique. You can stamp or stencil the embossing. Either way the results are impressive!

For this card, I cut a piece of Neenah 110lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ to 6 x 6″ and scored at 3″ to create a card base. I cut a piece of Neenah 80lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ to 2-1/8 x 5-1/8″ and die cut a scalloped border using Queen & Co Foundation 17 Dies.

I used Tim Holtz Chipped Sapphire, Salty Ocean and Uncharted Mariner Distress Oxide Inks to color the background. I sprayed some water on it before adding the snowflakes. Next I used Simon Says Stamp’s Falling Snow Stencil with Versamark Ink and White Embossing Powder to create the snow in the background.

I stamped the images from Stampin’ Up!’s Warm & Toasty Stamp Set (retired) onto Neenah 110lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored them with Copic Markers.
