Safari Shaker

By on June 9, 2024 in Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I have a new Safari Shaker card and video to share. I’m sharing a very easy way to create a shaker card.

Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:

I just think these Safari animals are so cute! This is a great shaker technique…and I started out with the Go Wild A2 Frame Die, added some acetate and double-thick foam to create this shaker front.

The Sparkle Mixes from Heffy Doodle are absolutely my favorite because they not only have sequins, but they also have gems! I saved some of the gems to add to the front of the panel. Watch the video to see how easy this shaker is to create!

Creating the sentiment with Kraft cardstock shadow and green letters really reminds me of a safari! That is what helped me to choose these colors.

I’m often asked what supplies I use to make my cards and projects, so I’ve put together a list using affiliate links when possible. If you make a purchase with these links I may receive a small commission. These help me to keep up with blog costs and continue bringing you fun projects. Thank you so much for your support!

BOTH-CARDS-latte-art-card-4
Latte Art Looks

Hello, today I have two cards to share with different Latte Art Looks. This new Latte Art Layering stencil is from Miss Ink Stamps and it’s so beautiful!





Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:














		
		
			
			
		
	





For this card, I started with kraft cardstock and used some Distress Oxide inks in shades of blue. Oxide Inks show up much better on kraft cardstock since they sit on top of the paper.





I used white pigment ink for the designs in the latte, and white embossing powder for the sentiment (from the Caffeinated Stamp set). Those coffee beans that are stamped on the background are from the same stamp set.






		
		
			
			
		
	






		
		
			
			
		
	





For this second card, I started with white cardstock and some very vibrant Dye Inks in pink, orange, and yellow. Then I brought in some gold Lunar Paste for the final layer to add some shine and texture!





I made the “liquid” a lighter brown to look like tea, and of course I had to invite Alice to the Tea Party!! 🙂

One stencil, two cards, two very different looks! Did you enjoy this project today?! I had a great time creating these. I’ll be back real soon to share more cards.

Safari-Box-Card-5
Safari Box Card – Interactive Card
By  on May 12, 2024  in Paper Crafting   

	

	    

Hello! Today I have a Safari Box Card Interactive card (and VIDEO) to share! This is a fun and easy project and I’ll show you how in the video below:














		
		
			
			
		
	





This 3D Brooke Card Die set makes it so easy to create this card, complete with layers. I love the variety, too…pair it with ANY stamp set and stencil for a different look each time.





Today I used the 2×2 Safari Animals Die set for the characters and cut them out with the coordinating dies. Then I stenciled the layers with the Unbe-leaf-able stencil for a fun leafy look.






		
		
			
			
		
	





In the video, I show you how to put the whole thing together. I added a gold FIVE in the background because I am actually giving this card to my five year old nephew for his birthday!






		
		
			
			
		
	






		
		
			
			
		
	





To make that toucan look like he’s flying, I used some extra thick acetate and added the toucan then attached it all to the second layer. Isn’t that so cute?

Mixed Media Magnolia card
By  on May 11, 2024  in Paper Crafting   

	

	    

Hello! Today I have a new card and video sharing a Mixed Media Magnolia card. This is a fun one to make, I hope you enjoy the video!





Watch it here or in HD on YouTube:














		
		
			
			
		
	





I start with some watercolor cardstock and heat emboss the magnolia images on it using white embossing powder. Next, I brought out an oldie that I haven’t used in a while: Color Bursts! These really are a burst of color, so be judicious in using them. A little goes a long way! (Watch the video to see how to dot this).





I added some extra color inside the magnolias so they were darker when they dried.





Once the entire panel was dry, I stenciled some Distress Oxides over the top. I used the center piece of the Magnolia Frame die to stamp my focal image…the heart mug! See, it pays to keep all your extra pieces. WINK*






		
		
			
			
		
	





I used vellum for the sentiment today and that finished it all off! I hope you had as much fun as I did with this card. 🙂

Hope you enjoyed this one! Do you create many mixed media cards? See you soon with more cards to share.
