Purple Poinsettia Shaker

Hiya friends!  I'm so glad you are here for my next Scrappy Tails Crafts project!  My card for today is something I don't normally do.  It's a shaker card!  And not just that, it's a slimline shaker!!

When I first started this project, I didn't have an end game.  I just started playing around.  I ink blended Wilted Violet, Dusty Concord, Seedless Preserves and Victorian Velvet distress inks onto a panel.  

Then I took Shabby Shutters, Peeled Paint, Mowed Lawn and Rustic Wilderness distress inks and blended on another panel.

After that, I splattered the purple panel with silver paint.  Then I cut as many pieces out of the panels using the Outline Poinsettia dies and Assorted Christmas Leaves dies that I could.

Then I cut more pieces out of silver cardstock.  I put all of the pieces together mixing the foil pieces with the distress ink pieces.

It was at this point I decided I wanted to do a shaker.  I cut a piece of white cardstock down to a large slimline size.  I cut it out with a window slimline die (Whimsy Stamps Slimline Marquee).  Then I dry embossed the panel with the Slimline Brick Background die.  Next I splattered it with Hickory Smoke and Dusty Concord distress oxides, as well as silver paint.  I also used a blender brush and the Hickory Smoke to go around all of the edges, openings and raised parts of the panel.  I just didn't want it to be such a stark white.

Next step was to create a shaker.  I'm not going to go into great detail as I'm sure we've all seen it before.  I put a layer of acetate down, then foam tape, filled the windows, and finished it with another piece of acetate.  

I adhered the whole shaker panel to a white, slimline card base.  

Now I got out all of my flower bits.  I played around with it for a bit until I found the layout I liked.

The poinsettias were adhered in place with foam tape.  This left me room to glue down the leaves and twigs flat to the panel.

Now I just needed a sentiment!  I used the "thinking of you" word dies from the Slimline Pop Up Box die set.  I ink blended a scrap of white cardstock with the Dusty Concord distress oxide ink.  Then I remembered to put Stick It adhesive on the back.  This makes it so much easier to ad the little pieces onto my panel!

And that's it!  Thanks SO much for hanging out with me today!  Remember to use code STCBLOG to get 10% off at the Scrappy Tails Crafts store!

Seize the stamp hop

Hi friends!  I'm participating in a fun flower hop over on Instagram.  You can get all of the details on how to enter the giveaway (and to hop along!) over on my IG page HERE.

I created this fun slimline card using the gorgeous Slim Fall Sunflowers stamp set from Stampendous.  I recently added it to my collection and I'm in LOVE!

I stamped it on watercolor paper with VersaMark ink.  Then I heat embossed it with gold and copper embossing powders.

Next I colored the entire image with an assortment of fallish Distress Ink colors.  Once the entire image was painted, I went around the outside of the image with very diluted Gathered Twigs distress ink.

I set it aside to dry.  I cut another piece of watercolor paper slightly larger.  Then I used a gold watercolor to paint around the outer edges.  Then I layered the floral piece on top.  And both panels were adhered to a brown card base.

The sentiment is from an older set from Honey Bee Stamps called Hey Pumpkin.  I also stamped it with VersaMark ink and embossed in gold.  I cut it out and added it to a brown layer, which I fussy cut as well.  I added foam tape to the back and applied it to the card.

My final step was to add red Stickles to the berries.  I hope you'll head over to my Instagram page to check out the hop details! 

And thanks for stopping by!
