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!

Fabulous fun with foils!

Hello and welcome!  Today I'm over on the Stamplorations blog as a guest digital designer.  I bring you a trio of cards created with the French Marigold digital stamp.  And of course, some foil!

I enlarged the marigold and tilted it at an angle before printing it out twice onto copic friendly cardstock.  The first one I traced around an oval die so I would know what areas I needed to cover with color.  Then I got out my Copic markers to do the coloring.  Did you know there is a variety of French Marigold called Strawberry Blonde?  This is what inspired my color choices.  

Next I cut it out with an oval die.  I used a Zig 2 Way squeeze and roll glue pen to add bits of glue to some of the outer edges of the petals.  I let it dry for a minute or two until sticky.  Then I took a of sheet of gold foil and laid it on top.  I rubbed over it with my fingers and slowly peeled it off.  I love this method to add touches of gold to any piece without having to use a Minc or laminator.

The second marigold piece I cut with a stitched rectangle die just slightly smaller than A2 size.  I splattered the entire piece with gold, then silver splatters.  Once it was dry I added it to a coral card base.  I put foam tape on the back of the oval, lined it up over the splattered panel and adhered it to the card.  Easy peasy!

My second card was an experiment that totally paid off!

  

I inverted the color of the digital stamp so it made the lines white and the area around it black.  I printed it out with my laser printer. Then I cut a piece of Rainbow Shattered Glass foil large enough to cover it and ran it through my Minc twice.  I peeled it back and found this beauty waiting for me.

 

I'm not going to lie.  I ma have gazed at it for a while before I could bring myself to cut it apart.  I cut it into 4 equal parts and added a white piece of cardstock behind each of the pieces.

Next I grabbed a piece of black cardstock and the Bloomdalascopic #7 stencil.  I ran them through my die cut machine to get a subtle embossed pattern on the black cardstock.  To help bring out the embossing I swiped a platinum ink pad lightly across the surface.  I also added some white splatters.

I cut the black panel down to fit onto a 5" square white card base.  I added foam to the back of the foiled squares and added them to the card.  I finished it off by adding a sentiment sticker from the Just Everyday Greetings sticker pack.

My third card is actually a bonus card I got from the project above!  When I did the foiling for the second card I had the leftover foiled flower.  I couldn't bring myself to throw it away.  I grabbed a piece of toner paper and ran it through my Minc with the foiled flower leftover.

Isn't it so cool?  I cut it into 4 pieces and added different colored cardstock behind each square.  I took a piece of black cardstock and cut it to 6 1/4" x 3 1/4".  I taped the Half Circles slimline stencil over it and spread Pixie Effect paste over it.  Once the paste was dry I added it to a white mini slimline card base.  Then I adhered on the foiled squares.  

That's it for me today.  I hope you found something that inspired you!  Don't forget that you can get 20% off in the Stamplorations store by using the code STAMPGIRLKRISTINA.
