Oh Holy Night Blended Shaker Card {Maker Forte}

 Hello crafty friends! I would like to share with you this ink blended shaker card featuring the Maker Forte Oh Holy Night stamp set and a few Color Hive inks. 

To make this shaker card, I stamped the image on a piece of acetate with Stazon ink. Then, I put it to the side to dry.

Next, I Ink blended a piece of watercolor cardstock with some of my favorite Color Hive inks. I used English Mustard, Pop Art, and Coronation Purple inks. I really love this combination!

Then, I spritzed the panel with water and dabbed it off with a paper towel.

I cut down the panel to 4″ x 5 1/4″ and cut a circle out of the center.

I flicked some watered down gold paint on the ink blended panel.

Next, I attached the center circle to a piece of gold cardstock using the ink blended panel to line it up. I added some sequins to the center and glued a few on. I attached the acetate to the ink blended panel and added Solar Flair Crown Jewel Gems. 

To finish the card, I used foam tape to pop up the ink blended panel and attached the panel to a white card base. Have I mentioned that I just LOVE these colors blended together?!? 

Thank you so much for stopping by!

Hello Fall {Brutus Monroe}

Welcome back to my Friday Inspiration Box tutorial! I just love the colors of the fall! This shaker card features the Autumn Harvest Inspiration Box from Brutus Monroe. I just cannot get enough of these scarecrows! They are just too too cute!

To start, I colored up a couple of the scarecrows that I had stamped and die cut. {copics are listed below} Then, using an oval die from my stash, I cut the center out of the leaf patterned paper included in the box. I cut a piece of the brown cardstock to 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" and a small piece of acetate to cover the oval for the shaker. I also pulled a couple of the leaves I had colored for an earlier card from my stash, I love when I can do that!

Next, I colored up some pumpkins that I had stamped and die cut. To make the shaker part of the card. I placed my patterned with the oval die cut on a piece of white paper, (which I thought was centered, but you will see was clearly not), to stamp the sentiment where I wanted it to be seen through the shaker window. Then I glued it down to the brown cardstock panel.

Next, I added the acetate to the back of the patterned paper and foam tape. I put a little mix of sequins in the center of the panel that I mixed up from my stash. I really like to glue a few down so they do not all fall to the bottom when I stand the card up.

I attached the foam panel to the card base and finished up the card by attaching the colored in images. I hope you do check out the Autumn Harvest Inspiration Box before they are all gone. This is such a super cute set!

Thank a Nurse Shaker Cards {The Hedgehog Hollow}

Hello! I would love to share with you a few quick and easy cards I made with this month’s Hedgehog Hollow Subscription Box.

To make the first card, I began by blending white pigment ink through the nurse hat stencil on Cappuccino cardstock. 

Because it is pigment ink, I heat set it so it would dry quicker. Then I used the second layer of the stencil and blended Candied Apple distress oxide.

Next, I cut down this panel as well as two of the patterned papers in the box to 4″x 5 1/4″. I stamped the bandaid image using Color Hive clear ink.

I cut an ultra white card base and added this panel using foam tape. Then, I cut three frames using rectangle dies and Telephone Box cardstock. I also cut three pieces of acetate and glued them to the frames for shaker elements on the cards. I stamped the sentiments on the pieces of acetate using Stazon ink and let them dry.

Once the ink was dry, I added foam tape to one of the frames, put sequins on the panel and adhered the frame. I added the second part of the sentiment that I embossed on Eclipse Black cardstock. 

The next two cards we made using the patterned paper panels I cut earlier. I added them to Cappuccino cardbases using foam tape. Then, I added sequins to the panel and glued a few down so the shaker elements wouldn’t all fall to the bottom. I used foam tape to add the frames that I assembled earlier to the card fronts and finished them off with sentiments embossed on Eclipse Black cardstock.

I just love how quick and easy these cards came together! Thank you so much for stopping by!
