Wild Shaker

Greetings! Alison here. Today, I've got a new shaker card to share with you. I was inspired by some of the Windowrama stamps and dies from Stampendous. Specifically, the Elephant stamp with the Giraffe dies. Those items helped me choose my Sparkle Blend from Doodles Paper Playground, which is Good Luck Charm.

I started off by coloring the elephant with Memento Markers and die cutting him. For the top layer of my shaker, I used Memementos as well, but I also added the 6 x 6 Crackle Stamp with the Fresh Greens Kaleidacolor inks for some additional texture.

Behind the shaker window, I used a piece of glossy cardstock that I applied alcohol ink from Ranger to some time ago. Since the alcohol ink was ponced on to the cardstock, it gives the illusion of a rain forest canopy. The Good Luck Charm Sparkle Blend has some really wonderful shades of green, gold, and silver that made the background pop.

My card base is white, and I applied some brown textured cardstock on top, and rubbed Golden Glitz Delicata ink on top, to bring out the texture. My sentiment is on Kraft cardstock from an older Stampendous set.

I love this cheerful little elephant. And what's happier than a shaker card? The Good Luck Charm Sparkle Blend really brought all of my elements together. Have you used this Blend before? Head on over to White Rose Crafts LLC to see it and all of the other available Sparkle Blends. Thanks for stopping by. Have an inspiring day!

Liquid Hug For Your Brain - By Meghan Kennihan

Hi Crafty Friends,

So excited to be joining in the Coffee Loving Cardmakers Spring Summer 2019 Hop! This is my second year joining in the fun! I love the blog, I love the facebook page and most importantly, I LOVE COFFEE! Here is a fun shaker I made using the Doodles Paper Playground April Release Cafe Au Lait Blend.

Make Crafty Friends Q & A:

Q: Do you put cream or milk in your coffee?

A: Me? No. I like it black

I did a bit of paper piecing for this one! I just matted everything in the deep red to match. I used the Pink and Main 6x6 Retired Paper Pack Beach Babe. I colored up this darling image from Neat and Tangled called BOLD Brew and put him on the edge of my shaker! I added the best sentiment ever and some cute little stitched hearts to finish off my card.

Congrats Grad Shaker Card

Hello Crafty Friends -Annie here with a Graduation card. Yes, it's that time of year when we start making cards for all the grads we know.

I created this shaker card using the New Released Sparkle Blends: Birthstone Collections: April- Diamonds

Sparkle Blends: Birthstone Collections: April- Diamonds

A glittering, transparent blend of crystal, 

iridescent and moonshine clear sequins, 

beads and crystals in different sizes and shapes. 

You’ll find beautiful, silvery, cupped flowers, 

iridescent stars, large flat rounds, and other assorted shapes, 

in addition to the classic round, cupped sequins in several sizes. 

This blend is the perfect final touch for any project.

Here's my card. I just love how the Sparkle Blends: Birthstone Collections: April- Diamonds

give the right amount of shimmer. I die cut my letters out of shimmer dust cardstock. I kept to black, white and gray so that I could give the card to any graduate regardless of school.
