    How to Make an Infinity Shaker Card

    Hi, everyone! This Nicki from the design team here with some tips and tricks on making infinity shaker cards. Check out the YouTube video for all the details!

    Let’s start with what we need to make the card today. All of these items will be listed at the end of the post.

    Kat Scrappiness, spring fling, proud of you, Nicki Hearts Cards

    First, I cut the card stock to 4.25 x 5.5 inches. Next, I carefully slid the card stock into the large Avery Elle Stamp Pocket. Then I made a fold with the bone folder.

    Next, I added the shaker element. Don’t forget to do this before sealing the pocket!

    Once the shaker element is in place, it’s time to seal the pocket with double sided tape. With the pocket sealed, all that is left to do is add the sentiment and the black card stock backing.

  • Proud Of You 5×7 Card And A Bonus Card

    Proud Of You 5×7 Card And A Bonus Card

    Hi everyone, it’s Tina here. I have a 5×7 card to share with you and a bonus card using the negative from my first card. I used the 5×7 Diamond Wire Wood Grain Frame and the Layered Tulip Bouquet dies. Below you will find the steps to create your own cards.

    Step 1 – Trim White Cardstock to 10” x 7”, score at 5” and fold in half for a vertical side fold card. (5×7)

    Step 2 – Trim White Cardstock to 5” x 7”. Apply any ink of your choice using Rainbow colors with a Blender Brush. Sprinkle some water using a Fan Brush. Let dry then adhere to card front using Bearly Art Precision Glue.

    Step 3 – Diecut 5×7 Diamond Wire Wood Grain Frame using White Cardstock. Adhere to card using Bearly Art Precision Glue.

    Step 4 – Using the same inks for the panel created in Step 2 apply blue and green making sure they blend in the middle. Apply the red, orange and yellow on another panel.

    Step 5 – Diecut Layered Tulip Bouquet using the Blue/Green panel from Step 4 for the stem and the Red/Orange/Yellow panel for the tulips. Assemble and adhere to the card front using Bearly Art Precision Glue.

    Step 6 – Diecut Proud Of You With Shadow Die using Black Cardstock for the words and White Cardstock for the Shadow. Assemble and adhere to card using Bearly Art Precision Glue.

    Step 7 – For added interest and sparkle randomly adhere Pearls using a Pick Up Tool and Bearly Art Precision Glue. I used Pearl Mix in colors Ballerina Pink, Apricot, Bumble Bee, Mint Green, Seafoam.

    Bonus Card

    Step 1 – Trim White Cardstock to 7” x 5 1/4”, score at 3 1/2” and fold in half for a vertical side fold card. (3 1/2”  5 1/4”)

    Step 2 – Trim Black Cardstock to 3 3/8” x 5 1/8”. Adhere to card front using Bearly Art Precision Glue.

    Step 3 – Trim the negative panel created from Card 1 Step 5 (Blue/Green) used for the stem to 3 1/4” x 5”. Adhere to card using Bearly Art Precision Glue. Diecut Layered Tulip Bouquet (Tulips) using the Panel Red/Orange/Yellow from Card 1. Adhere to card using Bearly Art Precision Glue.

    Step 4 – Stamp Valentine Quokka sentiment using Versafine Onyx Black Ink.

    Step 5 – For added interest and sparkle randomly adhere Seafoam Pearl Mix using a Pick Up Tool and Bearly Art Precision Glue.

    My bonus card was inspired by the negative piece from the Layered Tulip Bouquet as I love the ink blending and didn’t have the heart to throw it out. Make sure you look at your negative diecuts and I’ve shown you can turn them into cards.

  • So Proud of You!

    So Proud of You!

    Good Morning All of My Card Making Friends!

    This is Kathy from Expressive Paper.  I have been busy making cards for fall and Halloween.  Then I remembered December is not too far in the future and I need a graduation card!  This card is pretty simple and perfect for your graduate.

    Card Details

    •  I cut 6 of the “Proud of You” pieces and one of the shadows with a layering card stock
    • I used the 5 X 7 Stitched Rectangle Dies.  This is a 6 piece rectangular die set that is perfect for larger cards. Select the largest frame and the frame two sizes smaller. (your die cut word should fit into the rectangle)
    • Use whatever ink you use for ink blending and blend the shadow die piece. I used the colors of the school the student is graduating from. I also used the Mini Ink Blending Brushes
    • I next took a pearlescent spray and used it on the shadow and the card pieces.
    • Cut, fold and score your 5 x 7 card base
    • Adhere 5 of your “Proud of You” to the smaller stitched rectangle. I centered the dies but you could stagger them, add more whatever you want!
    • Adhere the 6th die cut on top of the shadow and place it in the bottom third of your card.
    • I added foam tape to the back of the main panel for dimension.
    • Adhere some Grey Opal Pearls to your card panel and you are done.
