Upcycling Leftovers: Shaker Card for Valentine’s Day

Posted in HANDMADE CARDS, Valentines & Love by

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

In my last blog post I shared the “Double Box Fold” Card with you, but what do you do with the leftovers? You repurpose your leftover materials to craft a charming shaker card. If you’re a fan of recycling and getting creative with what you have on hand, this project is perfect for you! Are you ready to add an extra touch of love to your Valentine’s Day greetings?

Cut a piece of clear acetate sheet slightly larger than the opening of the leftover piece. Adhere it to the backside of the die-cut piece using adhesive, ensuring it covers the entire opening securely.

Carefully apply foam adhesive strips around the edges of the die-cut piece, creating a border around the acetate window. Make sure there are no gaps where the sequins could escape. Pour a generous amount of Loose Silver Sequins onto the center of your card base. Sprinkle in some hearts from the Sending Love Dies to add a romantic touch to your shaker card.

Now, carefully place the acetate-covered die-cut piece over the card base (centering it), and ensuring the sequins and hearts are securely trapped inside. Press down firmly on the edges to seal the shaker element.

Once your shaker portion is complete, it’s ready to add a greeting and embellish. Greeting comes from the Throughout the Year stamp set and die cut with the Everyday Details Dies. I glued a few of my sequins on the card front to embellish, and then embellished my embellishments by adding the Iridescent Rhinestones inside of them. I also add a couple hearts at the top for a pop of color and interest.

Now it’s ready to spread love and joy to your friends and family. Whether you’re mailing it to a loved one or hand-delivering it with a hug, this handmade creation is sure to bring a smile to their face. PS. Swap out the greeting for an All Occasion / Just Because I Care card!!

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

In this blog post, we’ll explore the creation of a stunning card using the Most Adored Specialty paper and incorporating the captivating “Ink Dragging Technique.” The result is a visually striking combination of Shaded Spruce and Gold, enhanced further by the use of Gold Foil sheets and a touch of sentiment from the “He’s All That” stamp set.

For the greeting, I used the “Sending Smiles” stamp set and coordinating Sending dies. Cut out the delicate elements and arrange them onto your card front. To accentuate the design, embellish with silver pearls from the Festive Pearls package. These pearls add a touch of elegance to our card.

Crafting a handmade greeting card is an art form that allows for the expression of creativity and thoughtfulness. By showcasing the allure of the Most Adored Specialty Paper, either card is sure to leave a lasting impression on its recipient.

Most Adored Gold with Night of Navy Accents

Posted in HANDMADE CARDS, Valentines & Love by

Hello Stampin’ Friends,

In the world of crafting and creative expression, certain elements stand out as timeless and beloved. Gold is undoubtedly one such element, radiating opulence and sophistication. Today, our product spotlight revolves around the Most Adored, and we’re going to explore how Night of Navy, a rich and deep hue, beautifully complements the regality of gold. 

The Most Adored Designer paper has captured the hearts of stampers worldwide with its premium quality and versatile appeal. Along with the Gold Foil designs and cute Valentine designs on the “flip side”, what makes it so popular is that you can get it for FREE during our Sale-a-bration promotion, with a qualifying purchase.

For today’s creative adventure, we turn our attention to Night of Navy. This deep, dark blue is synonymous with elegance and pairs seamlessly with the richness of gold. I used the swirl pattern and infused it with Night of Navy ink and my Water Painter. It appears to be dancing harmoniously with the golden accents, creating a mesmerizing effect.

I used the Watercolor Wash Technique over the Most Adored Designer paper, as it dries it lightens, so I went back over some areas with more ink to get the true Night of Navy color too. The die cut circles with a border of circles comes from the Everyday Detail Dies. And to take it over the top … I embossed the Paper Butterfly in Gold and embellished it with gold pearls from the Festive Pearls collection. 

On the flip side, we delve into the romantic realm with Card #2. Here, I used both sides of this sheet of designer paper with punched Hearts, and die cut the little hearts from our Sending Love Dies. As we approach the season of love, this creation becomes the perfect canvas for a heartfelt Valentine’s Day card. The Basic White background adds a sense of stability, making the hearts pop with warmth and affection.

My greeting comes from the Throughout the Year stamp set. You all know I love my sentiment sets, especially when they provide so much versatility as this one does. This was highlighted by die cutting the greeting from the Something Fancy Dies.

I’ll conclude the Most Adored collection, with its resplendent gold and Valentine themed flip side takes center stage in the world of crafting. The Night of Navy emerges as the perfect companion, adding depth and elegance to our project. So, whether you’re crafting a mesmerizing swirl pattern or crafting a heartfelt Valentine’s Day card with punched gold hearts, embrace the magic of Most Adored Designer Series paper.

Thank you for joining me today, I’ll meet you back here tomorrow featuring yet another color combination, and flip side card!
