As we near the end of the annual catalogue I go through my stamp shelves and see what stamps I’ve used and which have hardly seen ink. The Charming Duck Pond bundle is one which I’ve only used a couple of times.

I wanted to use it again before it perhaps retires. This card is CASED from the annual catalogue. What is casing you may ask. Case means to copy and share everything. There is nothing wrong with casing an idea from the catalogue but do give credit to your source idea.

Did you know you can stamp with the Stampin’ Write markers from Stampin’ Up! It works like a charm. I’ve used a rainbow assortment of markers to stamp. Where the colours meet I’ve used my markers to blend one colour into the other. I love the effect, do you?

This card is full of joy. The colours are bright and happy. I’ve only used three colours, but they sing together, as green and red are complementary colours on the colour wheel.

Arch Shaped Shaker Card Tutorial – How to Make It.

Arch Shaped Shaker Card Tutorial – How to Make It. – Everyday Arches Dies – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK

Do you like shaker cards? I’m always looking for new ways to include shakers in my cardmaking. It can be fun to make different shaped cards. They engage the recipient and are enjoyable to make.

Tips

I do have a few tips to share. Firstly remove the backing to the foam strips before you apply. This makes the strips more malleable and easy to shape. Secondly, ensure you enclose your shaker window with foam strips and have no gaps. Thirdly once you have closed up your shaker give the adhesive a good press with your bone folder to ensure good adhesion.

Isn’t this picnic basket cute? I’ve made it a few times before. Today, I decided to make it into an Easter Basket. It features the Floral Delight designer series paper (DSP). This paper is bright floral and happy. Perfect for Easter.

The basket has a flap on either end, the centre is secured to the base. It is easy to make. I would advise you to create a template of the box such as the one below to help you understand how it fits together.

If there ever was a cheerful card, this is it. I love the bright, happy colours. The colour palette was inspired by the Floral Delight designer series paper (DSP) used in the background. The daisies are from the appropriately named Cheerful Daisies stamp and die bundle. I know I’ve mentioned this before. My grandmother always had a yellow daisy bush in her garden, hence I’ve always loved daisies.

I love layering stencils. They are so easy to use. I’ve shown how to use them many times in videos, however, I still get new people unsure of how to use them. Therefore I decided to do a new tutorial on how to use these wonderful products.

Stampin’ Up!’s layering stencils are numbered making it easy to know what order to use them. Another tip is to always start with your lightest colour and increase the colour intensity. Stick to colours that are next to each other in the colour wheel. Have you seen the fabulous colour wheel from Stampin’ Up!? Check it out here. It is great for choosing the colours for a card or scrapbook page.

I love a shaker card, or, as I call them, shakey, shakey cards. They are such fun. I have a huge collection of sequins, and this year, I want to continue to use them. Do you have anything in your stash that you are trying to use?

The secret to easy shaker cards is good-quality foam strips. Remove the backing, and you will find them easy to manipulate. You can fill up your shakers as much as you want. If you want them to shake nicely, don’t overfill them.
