Today I am participating at Paulina’s fun blog hop, Cutting Edge. She is one talented and creative card maker! Her blog, Pretty Pink Posh, is full of inspirations. She also owns a store where you get tons of gorgeous colorful sequins.
Now my card…. I found a new fun way of creating card using dies and die cut machine. For this card, I used Surface Tag Die – Starter Kit and Surface Tag Stamp Set from Waffle Flower.
I cut a piece White Daisy cardstock for A2 card base. Then I used my Scallop Border Punch to punch the bottom scallop edge card. The I cut a piece of burlap ribbon (I got a spool of wide burlap ribbon from Hobby Lobby few months ago) and using Liquid Glass to add it on the card. This amazing glue works the magic, clear and quick dry.
I stamped the stitch border from Surface Tag Stamp Set using Slate Exclusive Inks Pad and the “with love” with Black Exclusive Inks Pad. The sentiment I stamped it using VersaMark ink pad, added some Gold embossing powder and heated it up with my Craft Heater.
On a piece of watercolor paper, I created the background for the shaker. I used CTMH Watercolor Pencils, added some water to blend the colors and then using my Craft Heater to dry it. I added a piece of velum on the window, then added some 3D foam tape (I double the foam tape for thicker foam) around the window of the tag, sequins and then added the watercolored background to cover the back. I took a piece of baker twine and tied it up on the tag. Using some Liquid Glass, I added the shaker tag on top of the burlap. The card is done and shaker-y 😀
I had so much fun making this shaker tag card 😀 I hope you like my card today. Thanks for visiting!
