Magical Hat Shaker Card with The Sassy Club

Hello, friends! It's been a few days, but I'm finally back in the craft room working on some projects as I was out of town last weekend and I'm gone again this weekend... So I have a few things I'm working on and I was intending to make this card a YouTube Short, but I just didn't have the time. I think my card today is not too complicated so we can walk through it on the blog instead.

I am using the April 2024 SheetLoad of Cards from Call Me Crafty Al, and the only major differences from the sketch to my card is that I used the Magical Shaker Hat and Magic Mouse as my oval on the sketch. My square piece is the size of the PP-B and I used Mint Tape to mask off a border when stenciling to look like card sketch instead of adding patterned paper.

The background is stenciled with a Cloud 9 Interference ink and stencil paste on black paper to just have some fun with the color. I made my shaker panel with my sentiment that was embossed in white powder. My shaker bits are stars and beads from my stash and of course I added my sweet Magic Mouse. I stamped and colored him in with OLO markers and I actually colored him when I made my box card.

To finish off the cards, I added some White Pops of Color and I really like how it turned out! I also used last Friday's episode of Craft Roulette to inspire my card as well. My card sentiment is a "good tidings" type of sentiment, I used summer colors for USA Independence Day (red, white, blue), there is a shaker on the card that is mechanical, and there is a tie closing my Magic Mouse's robe!

Happy for You Twinkle Butterflies with Pear Blossom Press

I'm happy to share with you today my latest project for Pear Blossom Press! I am using Twinkle Lights to light up my butterflies on a floral background. I started with foiling my background and using the coordinating stencils with Interference Inks to get a subtle, shimmery background. I then used my BetterPress to press my butterflies and sentiment.

The butterflies are watercolored with orange and I used the coordinating dies to cut them out along with my sentiments. You can follow along in my video below of how I assembled the Twinkle Lights on the inside of the card and added my Butterflies above the LEDs of the lights. I added a little star shaped die cut so the card receiver knows where to press!

Sweet As Honeysuckle Shaker Card with This Calls for Confetti

I'm so excited to share today's project with you! I'm using new items from This Calls for Confetti and includes a beautiful, memorial set called Honeysuckle. I also have a new confetti mix with the same name that inspired me to make a shaker card. This was easy to do using the new Hello Elongated Frame Die Set! You can follow along in my video down below to see how this card was put together. It's my latest Oh So Inspired Collaboration video where we all use the same card to inspire a new project. 

From the inspiration piece by Dania's Doodles, I loved the flowers as the center focal of the card as well as the grey, green and purple colors. But, not only is this a video hop, over on Instagram there is a hop with This Calls for Confetti! We're celebrating the release of this new collection and the hop starts at 10am PT so make sure to head over there later today to see the inspiration with this new collection. At the time of scheduling this blog post, the new items have not yet been listed but you can shop the new collection by clicking on the "New Releases" for TCFC in my supply list.

Hello Friend Spring Animals Card with Scrapbook.com

Scrapbook.com has a new Livestream Deal today! The latest bundle features the Spring Animals Stamp Set, Coordinating Dies and two Glitter Brush Markers in Chocolate and Tan. I wanted to use this bundle but also step it up with some other spring themed items in my crafty stash. You can follow along in my video today, but I shared how I colored my images from Spring Animals and Sunshine Blooms with Glitter Brush Markers.

I layered the images and sentiment on a piece of vellum that is layered onto a leafy pattern paper. I like to use vellum on busy backgrounds where I'm going to make it more busy with my images as a way to add a break in the business without covering the background. Once I have everything on the card, I added a few Pops of Color to bring a bit of glossy shine to the card. I hope you check out today's deal and like my floral, critter card!

You Rock Box Card with The Sassy Club

Having some more fandom fun today with another Sassy Box Card! This card is simple, as I just really wanted to color in this music teacher from You Rock. I made my own pattern with the guitar pick stamps with red ink to match my sentiment styled after the movie's title. I love how cute this character has turned out and I want to make a few more cards with him. I think he'd make a great Father's Day card or for musicians in your life (or fans of the actor).

You can watch a short video down below of how the pattern and box card came together. What other characters would you like to see on a Sassy Box Card? Let me know in the comments!

Best Stitches Birthday Shaker Card with Spellbinders

I did some experimenting with the BetterPress Plate of the Month for April 2024 and wanted to mix hot foiling and pressing with the set. I also used the latest Craft Roulette parameters to inspire my card. I started with foiling the thimble, scissors and bobbin with Glimmer Hot Foil and cut them out with the coordinating dies. I then pressed the thread with a green interference ink onto the bobbin as well as my sentiment with the same ink on a black oval that was cut from the Stitching Die of the Month.

To add a blackboard look to my oval, I splattered it with white watercolor ink. I then made a shaker card panel with sequins and added the panel to my card base. My oval and images were added to the front of my shaker card and I didn't like the white border of the card so I added black ink. I wish now looking at my blue cardstock on the back of the shaker, I had some ink blending, but it's still fun and funky! I think this press set is really pretty and detailed and it was fun to use the two different layers of the bobbin.

Favorite Deputy Love Card with Kindred Stamps

I wanted to color up this cute duo, so I decided to grab a Show Us Your SheetLoad sketch - I'm a bit behind in playing along so this is from February 2024. I used patterned paper from my collection and followed the sketch to create my layout. For my take on the sketch, I stamped my sentiment onto the white half circle and added a die cut word across the patterned paper that goes across the card for a tone on tone look. I did add some pink ink with a Paper Pouncer to add a little ombre look, but it is a bit hard to see in the photos.

The other change to the sketch is that I added images above the sentiments that I stamped from the Kindred Stamps sets Toy Box and Playtime (they are currently sold out, but join the Facebook Group in case they're ever re-released). I colored them in with my OLO markers and fussy cut the images out. I used a white gel pen to add some highlights and popped up my images onto the card. I just love how cute this card turned out!
