Spring Wildflowers Faux Shaker

By on April 11, 2026 in Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I’m excited to share a Spring Wildflowers Faux Shaker. This card is so simple to make and yet has such an impact! I share the video how to below or on YouTube:

I just adore this Layering Stencil because you can get a really stunning result with very little effort. Today I chose a color palette by searching for “Spring colors” online. Then I chose some inks to match. I challenged myself to use only these inks (now, granted, I picked a lot of inks! LOL…see my video!)

I cut out a frame using the Punny Farms Frame die from Miss Ink Stamps, but instead of using the inside panel, I used the outer piece of the die cut to frame my wildflower panel. I added some Spring colored inks to the frame. I could have easily make this into a shaker card by adding acetate behind that frame. But today I decided to make a FAUX shaker and added a few matte gold pearl embellishments and a sentiment to finish it off.

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!

Llama Love and Socks

Hello! Today I have some Llama Love and Socks (with a mysterious magical creature) on a card to share. I have to admit, this one was fun to put together!





Watch the video below or on YouTube:






 







		
		
			
			
		
	





This card was so fun…using a Layering Sock stencil in the background really emphasized the sock fetish that could be going on here. This stamp set is a new favorite….and this little freshly-sheared fellow might be showing a little bit of embarrassment! Lol.





Just look at some of the details that come with this stamp set: the razor/trimmer, the basket of wool! Those socks came with the Laundry Love stamp set (where this hidden character is also from)…and it just occurred to me that I used the Llama Love AND Laundry Love stamp set on the same card. They work perfectly together!





I hope you’ll watch the video to see how this all comes together!

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!! 🙂
