Snow Much Fun shaker

Howdy peeps! I hope my friends in the States had a beautiful Thanksgiving; otherwise, wishing a great weekend ahead for everybody! I’m up on the Scrapbook Adhesives By 3L blog today sharing a tutorial for making a Winter/Christmas-themed snowglobe shaker card in non-traditional pastel colors. The Scrapbook Adhesives design team was invited to collaborate with Trinity Stamps. How fun is that?! I used some of their dies and stamps, and of course, lots of amazing Scrapbook Adhesives products to put it all together!

I won’t go into a huge amount of detail here so be sure to check out my post on the Scrapbook Adhesives blog if want to see how I made this fun card. The 5-1/4″ square base was cut from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White along with patterned papers from the My Favorite Things cheerful Plaid and Sweet Celebration 6×6 paper pads. I used the Trinity Stamps Snowglobe Card die set and Sledding Fun stamp set, and my shaker bits are iridescent snowflakes from Eyelet Outlet.

I brought this card to life by using the E-Z Runner Grand Permanent Strips, E-Z Dots, 3D Foam Strips, Crafty Foam Tape, 3D Foam Circles, Dual Tip Glue Pen, and Metallic Pastel Colors Transfer Foil Sheets – all from Scrapbook Adhesives. The finishing touch was adding some embellishments to the sentiment strip that I created using the ‘Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside’ technique.

I cut the inside panel from 80# Solar White and embellished it with a strip of the pastel plaid used on the front. I stamped another sentiment from the Trinity Stamps Sledding Fun stamp set, and layered the panel on CutCardStock Pink Tutu cardstock.

Hey everybody, happy Monday! – I hope you had a good weekend! We thought we were going to get some snow but it never happened. It’s been nice and chilly, though… just how we like it! I have a super cute Keep It Simple DT inspiration project to share today – a shaker card featuring papers and die cut pieces from our new Barnyard Bliss collection, along with our Shaker Frames A2 Frames #2, some of our foam, acetate and adhesive squares, and a variety of shaker bits from our Sprinkles line! Y’all, this is one of THE cutest collections ever!

I cut a side-folding A2 size card base from CutCardStock Basis Dark Red cardstock along with layering panels and a shaker frame from coordinating prints from the Barnyard Bliss collection. Of course, I used foam and acetate from our Back To Basics Shaker Basics which I filled with Snow White Fine Crushed Glass, Dandelion Hearts Sequins and Matte Dark Orange 2mm Beads from our Sprinkles line. I also threw in some small die cut pieces from the Barnyard Bliss collection and used a couple to embellish the front.

I cut the inside panel from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock and embellished it with a patterned paper strip and a couple more Barnyard Bliss die cut pieces, popping the heart up on a foam square from our Adhesive Basics Squares & Strips.

hello sweet friend

Hey everybody, Happy Weekend! I hope you’re doing something fun and having some awesome Spring weather! Our weather this time of year is glorious… still a tad chilly overnight (but not bad) and warm and sunny during the day! I’m delighted to share a Keep It Simple DT inspiration project with you today. This pretty shaker card features our KIS Shaker Frames A2 Frames #7 which was released in February along with our Rainbow Builder dies and sentiment stamps. And of course, I just HAD to use a variety of our papers in all the rainbow colors and our 2mm and 3mm Sprinkles pearls! I sure do love me a shaker card, and I totally feel like this one would cheer up a friend!

I cut a top-folding card base and shaker frame (using the KIS Shaker Frames A2 Frames #7) from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock. I pulled out the new Back to Basics Black & White 6×9 Collection Pack and cut the frame again so I could use the outer scalloped portion. Then the fun began… cutting the frame seven more times from papers in our Back To Basics Ruby, Mango, Lemon, Jade, Royal, Lilac and Rose 12×12 Collection Packs. This gave me lots of leftover pieces to build more rainbows!

I created the shaker with a panel of acetate and narrow strips of foam using our Back To Basics Shaker Basics-Foam Adhesive & Acetate Sheets, then filled it with our 2mm and 3mm Sprinkles Pearls. I stamped a sentiment from our Sunshine & Rainbows Sentiment Stamps in Catherine Pooler Twilight ink and cut it with a Back To Basics Stitched Oval Nested Die.

I grabbed the outer portion of the frame that I had cut previously from the Back To Basics Ruby 12×12 Collection Pack to use as the base of the inside panel. I added a rectangle cut from 80# Solar White using a Stitched Rectangle Nested Die and stamped an additional sentiment from the Sunshine & Rainbows Sentiment Stamps in the gray ink. Love, love, love!

Jelly Bean Shaker

Hi friends, Happy Tuesday! Are you gearing up for Easter – making any fun Easter crafts or planning to travel? We have no special plans (other than rejoicing in His resurrection) and I’ve made a few more whimsical Easter-themed cards that I’ll be sharing. This super cute jelly bean shaker that I created for Brutus Monroe features our amazing Jelly Bean stencil, Pink Flamingo Velveteen Glaze, Hip Hop Hooray stamps and chipboard, and our Occasional Greetings stamps. I also used a pre-scored card base and a variety of our cardstock to make the striped background. So much fun contained in one card, lol!

I started by creating an acetate panel of pink jelly beans using our Jelly Bean Mixed Media Stencil with Pink Flamingo Velveteen Glaze, a spatula and Deco Foil Stencil Pal on my 12″ Ranger-Wendy Vecchi Make Art Stay-tion. I let this dry overnight and then trimmed it to fit behind a frame cut from our Not Your Mamas cardstock using two Love From Lizi Stitched Rectangle Nested Cutting Dies. Next, I added a variety of different width strips of our Sea, Poison Apple, Aubergine and Rouge cardstock to a panel of Perfect Blend cardstock using an adhesive sheet, trimmed it down for the background panel, and adhered it to the front of a pre-scored card base.

The next step was adding the shaker mix created with several varieties of Keep It Simple Sprinkles. I always tend to over-stuff my shakers but I did a pretty good job on this one… leaving enough room to shake, shake, shake! I used the Hip Hop Hooray stamps and chipboard companion along with our Raven ink to create the adorable row of bunnies on the front which I colored with a variety of markers and attached with thin adhesive foam squares.

I cut the inside panel from Perfect Blend cardstock and embellished it with another frame cut from Sea cardstock. I stamped a sentiment from the Occasional Greetings stamp set in Raven ink, which completed the card. I totally love how this turned out!

Hello Pumpkin

Hey everybody, happy Monday! I hope you had a great weekend! We had a nice relaxed weekend after taking our Loki to the vet Friday morning with a digestive issue. Knowing he’s on the mend and feeling so much better is a huge relief. We sure do love our feline (and canine) kids and hate seeing them sick. I’m delighted to share a Keep It Simple DT inspiration project with you today featuring one of our new Shaker Frames that were released in September. I used the A2 Shaker Frame #6 along with papers from the Autumn Charm collection and stamps from our Bizzy Hands Fall Gnome and Farmhouse Fall stamp sets. As much as I love me some gnomes, it’s hard to believe I used the Fall Gnome stamp set without the gnome, but yes I did. LOL! This card just needed the pumpkins!

I cut a standard A2 size top-folding card base from CutCardStock Basis Natural cardstock and rounded the corners. I die cut the frame components from prints in the Autumn Charm 6×9 Collection Pack using the KIS Shaker Frames A2 Frames #6. I used acetate and 2mm foam from the Back To Basics Shaker Basics Foam & Acetate Pack with five varieties of Sprinkles to make up the shaker mix. I stamped a sentiment and several images from the Bizzy Hands Fall Gnome stamp set in Memento Rich Cocoa ink, colored the images with alcohol markers, and fussy cut them to embellish the front.

I cut the inside panel from Basis Natural as well and embellished it with a leftover strip of paper from the Farmhouse Fall Collection Pack. I stamped a sentiment from the Farmhouse Fall stamp set in Rich Cocoa ink and layered the panel on another print from the Collection Pack.

Hey everybody, Happy Tuesday! I’m stoked to share a Keep It Simple DT inspiration project with you today, created with our new KIS Cuts Pumpkin dies. This is THE most fun set of dies – I created a shaped card with a shaker in the middle portion, and I think it turned out so cute! Shaped cards are always a hit and the shaker portion just adds to the Fun Factor!

Using the KIS Cuts Pumpkin dies, I cut the pumpkin layers and leaves from coordinating prints in the Farmhouse Fall 6×9 Collection and Cardstock Packs, along with the card base, vine and stem from CutCardStock Lessebo Coffee Bean cardstock. I created a shaker in the center portion of the pumpkin using Polymer Clay Coffee Sprinkles, Polymer Clay Light Brown Pumpkins, 2mm Matte Orange Beads, and 2mm Caviar Glass Fall Change beads (all from the Sprinkles line). The Fall Change Caviar Glass beads haven’t hit the store yet, so stay tuned for those. I added a sentiment (from the Back To Basics Thank You Sentiments stamp set) stamped in Catherine Pooler Hot Tube ink which I fussy cut. The finishing touch on the front was adding a gold cord bow.

Using the same dies, I cut the inside panel from Solar White cardstock and embellished it with a scrap piece of the plaid paper used on the front. I stamped another sentiment from the same Thank You Sentiments stamp set in the Hot Tub ink, fussy cut it and added it to the inside.

Freshly Brewed shaker cards

Hey everybody! Happy Wednesday – I hope you’re having a great week! I have a super cute Keep It Simple DT inspiration project to share. You may remember that our new Shaker Kits debuted on the website back in early August. And as you know, this past Saturday was World Card Making Day and our design team organized a Facebook Live craft-along to demonstrate the assembly of our Life Is Sweet and Freshly Brewed kits. Barry and Maureen were phenomenal on the videos which you can watch HERE and HERE! Several weeks ago I shared two cards I made using the Life Is Sweet kit, and today I’m sharing the cards I made using the Freshly Brewed kit. These kits are fantastic because everything you need to create the cards is included except the adhesive. How cool is that?!

The card bases, adhesive foam, acetate, frames, ephemera, and shaker bits are all included in the kit. As with the other cards, I made mine a little different than the samples on the package. I totally love shaking things up! Here is my first card.

And here is my second card. I cut the cup sleeve on this one from a patterned paper in the Nuts About Fall 6×9 Collection Pack using the sleeve die in the KIS Cuts Freshly Brewed dies. It’s very cool that the dies are the same size and work with the items in this kit!

Scrappy hugs,

cozy vibes

Hey everybody! Happy Monday – I hope you had a great weekend! I’m thrilled to share a Keep It Simple DT inspiration project with you today created with our new Shaker Frames! We are still vibin’ over here in southwestern Colorado – we had Fall vibes going on last week and now we have some cozy vibes going on today with this fun Christmas card. I totally love shaker cards and Christmas is my favorite holiday so this was definitely a win-win! And you HAVE to check out our new Shaker Frames line – there are six different sets which means six different kinds of shaker fun! The Here Comes Santa Claus Collection used to make this card hasn’t hit the store yet so stay tuned and I will update this post when the collection is available. Update: The collection has hit the store so I’ve added the links to this post!

I cut the A2 size side-folding card base from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock along with layering panels and the shaker frame pieces from coordinating papers in the soon-to-come Here Comes Santa Claus Collection. I used the adhesive foam from our new Back To Basics Shaker Basics under the shaker frame but used tulle for the shaker front rather than acetate. I filled the shaker areas with a variety of our new Sprinkles. I stamped the Santa from the Collection Stamps, colored him with a variety of markers, and cut him with the coordinating Outline Die. I cut the sentiment from the cut-apart sheet in the Collection Pack.

I cut the inside panel from 80# Solar White cardstock and embellished it with a border and sentiment from the cut-apart sheet in the Collection Pack.

Life Is Sweet shaker cards

Hey everybody, Happy Tuesday! I’m delighted to share an awesome Keep It Simple DT inspiration project with you today. You may remember that our new Shaker Kits debuted on the website back in early August. We have a Facebook Live craft-along planned for October 5th to celebrate World Cardmaking Day where several members of our design team will demo the Life Is Sweet and Freshly Brewed kits. These are available as a bundle to purchase prior to the FB Live if you’re interested in joining in! But in the meantime, I’m sharing two cards I made with the Life Is Sweet kit. I’ll share the other two cards I made with the Freshly Brewed kit on the day of the Live.

The card bases, adhesive foam, acetate, frames, ephemera, and shaker bits are all included in the kit. I made my cards a little different than the samples on the package. I added Back To Basics Mango and Rose Enamel Dots to the center of the flowers on the front of my first card.

And this is my second card. I have a confession to make… I messed up the scalloped frame included in the kit so I had to go to Plan B… I die cut another frame from a paper in the Back To Basics Mango Collection Pack using a die in the KIS Shaker Frames A2 Frames #3. I honestly don’t think anybody would ever notice but I wanted to share that the A2 Frames work with this kit! These cards turned out so cute and the only extra ingredient needed to make them is adhesive. I used two kinds of double-sided tape and some small foam pads for dimension. I love that everything else is included!

Happy Holidays shaker

Hey everybody! I hope you’ve had a great week! It’s turning out to be a busy Friday morning on my blog! I have a super fun Keep It Simple DT inspiration project to share featuring our new line of Sprinkles. With this feature comes an awesome promo… buy three Sprinkles items and get one free! We have beads, polymer clay, crushes, glitter, rhinestones and sequins… choose from many styles and occasions! And remember to use my code LoveToScrap2 for 10% off your entire order! There is no minimum purchase requirement and no usage limits, AND it combines with product, order, and shipping discounts! Pop over to the Keep It Simple Instagram Page for a fun Hop and Giveaway!

I created an adorable mini slimline shaker card with papers, stamps and dies from our Scandinavian Christmas Collection as well as beads, polymer clay and sequins from our Sprinkles line! I used our new KIS Slimline Cuts Stitched Squares die to cut the shaker apertures. The colors in the Scandinavian Christmas Collection are non-traditional Christmas colors and I love that! I used tulle for the shaker this time rather than acetate. This was just a fun card all the way around!

The 3-1/2″ x 6″ mini slimline card base was cut from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock along with layering panels from coordinating papers in the Scandinavian Christmas 12×12 Cardstock and Collection Packs. Using the KIS Slimline Cut Stitched Squares die, I cut two apertures in the snowflake patterned paper, adhered tulle on the back side, and added some GKD Shaker Strips.

I stamped the gnome and birds from the Gnomes Collection Stamps in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on 80# Solar White cardstock, colored them with alcohol markers, and cut them with the coordinating Gnomes Outline Dies. I then stamped the snowflake and sentiment in Catherine Pooler Over Coffee ink, cut the snowflake with the coordinating outline die and fussy cut the sentiment.

I added Iridescent Snowflake Sequins, Brown Polymer Clay Dots, White Polymer Clay Hearts, 2mm Matte Red Beads, Candy Cane Red & White Polymer Clay Christmas Mix and Red Peppermint & Chocolate Polymer Clay Mix – all from the new Sprinkles line. I sealed the shaker and adhered the elements to the card front.

I cut the inside panel from 80# Solar White cardstock and embellished it with a leftover strip of the snowflake paper used on the front. I stamped an additional sentiment from the Gnomes Collection Stamps in the brown ink which completed the card.
