Shake It Up
By Karen Hasheck
Using Doodles Paper Playground: Sparkle Blends Ocean View
My name is Karen Hasheck and I am
honored this month to be a Doodles Paper Playground Guest Designing Diva! I
love making shaker cards and the new sequin mixes released this month and
available here at
White Rose Crafts LLC totally inspired me! Take a look at the Ocean View
Sparkle Blend I used in this shaker card:
Here is the description of this Ocean View blend:
“I don’t know about you, but I love a pretty water themed
card or layout & we wanted to create a blend that evokes those ever
changing colors. This vivid combination of cup sequins, round confetti, faceted
crystals and micro beads in cobalt, aqua, teal and a touch of light blue
was just the look we were going for. We added a sprinkling of dolphin shaped
confetti in a variety of colors to complete the effect.” I am saving the cute dolphins for water themed card I will
make later.
I went with monochromatic blues and punny “shake it” – you know you
wanna” stamps from Sudio Calico for this shaker card.
I am also using a brand
new product from Therm O Web called Clear Designer Toner Sheets which are
acetate sheets with patterns of toner on them that can be run through a hot
laminator with any foil you choose so our shaker acetate fronts
have a pretty pattern on them. I ran the Doodles Deco Foil Clear Designer Toner
Sheet through my hot laminator with a piece of Brilliant Blue Fancy Foil, then
die cut the clear acetate shaker front. I laid the leftover foil on a Deco Foil
Toner Sheet and ran it through the laminator again, then cut the stitched
circles using a die set from Lil’ Inker. To see these patterned acetate sheets
and these techniques in action, check
out my video here.
Here is a picture of the sequin mix “all shook up”. I
created a well with two layers of mounting tape, dumped in the Ocean View
sequin mix and sealed it with a white circle on which I stamped “shake it”. I
continued the theme on the inside of the card with more acetate circles and a
celebration sentiment from Gina K Designs:
