Eris on the Sleeping Bear

Hi! I have been busy making Christmas cards.

Today I am sharing a shaker Christmas card featuring the adorable image, Eris on the Sleeping Bear. This is such a cute image!

The card svg I used is from Bird's Cards.

I made my card using several types of cardstock. The bottom layer is silver pearlescent cardstock, the next layer is purple glossy cardstock and the top layer is light purple glitter cardstock.

I used my Fuse tool to make the shaker element of white glitter and snowflake confetti. I attached it to the back of the opening with clear tape.

I colored the image with Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers, then added glitter gems to the tree. The image was added to the card with foam tape. I added the glossy oval cut from that snowflake layer behind the shaker element.

I added a Christmas tree from Cricut to the right of the shaker element and added glitter gems to the tree.

Thanks for stopping by!

Have a wonderful day and happy crafting!

Butterfly Pat Shaker Card

      Today is New Release Day at Digital Delights at Louby Loo.

 

I used "Butterfly Pat" and "My Kind of Catch" for my shaker card. They can be found here:

CARD RECIPE

All DD stamps Used: " Butterfly Pat" and "My Kind of Catch Sentiment"

Cardstock & Papers: Cardstock by Recollections, patterned papers from K & Company and my stash. Image printed on Spectrum Noir Cardstock by Crafter's Companion.

Markers Used: Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers

Acc./ Embellishments: Canning Jar svg from My Scrap Chick, Fuse Kit, orange sequins, small butterfly punch, 3/8 inch wide orange ribbon

Special Technique: Shaker was made using a Fuse Kit. I used an envelope slightly larger than the jar. I traced the jar on the envelope and fused seams just inside the traced lines. I trimmed off the extra film from the envelope. I punched butterflies and glued them back to back so they looked good from both sides. (You could skip this step if you use double sided paper.) I filled the envelope about 1/3 full with butterflies and sequins, then fused the top closed. I used a combination of glue runner and glue to put the layers together. I added a orange ribbon around the top. The image was atatched with foam tape.

Spidey Peggy Legz

Today is New Release Day at Digital Delights by Louby Lou. My shaker card uses the adorable file, "Spidey  Peggy Legz Set."

CARD RECIPE

All DD Stamps Used: Spidey Peggy Legz Set

Cardstock/ Papers: Image printed on Spectrum Noir cardstock by Crafter's Companion, Glitter cardstock by core'dinations, printed cardstock by Heidi Grace Designs

Markers: Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers, Spectrum Noir Sparkle Pen, Wink of Stella, White Gelly Roll pen

Special Technique: None

The card base was made using "Web Card Cover" from Bird's Cards. Using  the contour feature in design space I made a solid shape the same size as the web cover. I duplicated this shape, lined the two shapes up side by side and welded them together for the card base. The actual card cover was cut from black glitter cardstock.

The shaker element was made using a 2 1/2 inch by 4 1/2 inch rectangle and a corresponding frame. Thin pieces of foam tape were attached all the way around the back of the frame. Attach the frame to it's back on three sides leaving the top open. Add your confetti, then seal the top. 

Spidey Peggy Legz was printed 4 1/4 inches tall and the sentiment is 1 x 2 inches. They are both attached to the card with foam tape. Two small black gems were added to the title.

Virgo Birthday Shaker Card

HI! Today is my day to post for the Digital Delights by Louby Loo New Release. I used the "Virgo Zodiac," "Happy Birthday Sentiment," and the "Zodiac Paper Pack" to make my shaker card. 

CARD RECIPE

DD files used:

VirgoZodiac:  http://digitaldelightsbyloubyloo.com/index.php?main_page=featured_products&disp_order=1&page=2

 Happy Birthday Sentiment:  http://digitaldelightsbyloubyloo.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=59_31&products_id=109

Cardstock / Papers:   DD Zodiac Paper Pack, Glitter cardstock in     white and fushia, yellow cardstock, image printed on Spectrum Noir cardstock by Crafter's Companion

Markers: Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers, Spectrum Noir Clear Sparkle Pen

Accec./ Embellishments: 3 small silk flowers, 3-d butterfly by K & Co., beads &/or confetti for shaker, 5 by 7 piece of clear acetate, foam tape

Technique: I used my Cricut Explore to print out the image and sentiment. The image is about 2 1/2 inches tall and the sentiment is about 2 inches long. The finished card is 5 by 7 inches. I folded a 10 by 7 inch piece of yellow cardstock in half for the card base. I printed off a sheet of the Virgo paper from the Zodiac Paper Pack, then trimmed it to 4 3/4 by 6 3/4 inches and added it to the front of the card. I made a two color frame 4 3/4 by 6 3/4 inches using a file from design space. To make the shaker element, I put foam tape around the inside edges of the frame, added the acetate window, then attached it to the front of the card leaving a small opening to add the confetti. Add your confetti and seal the opening closed. Add your sentiment to the top left and the butterfly to the top right. Attach the silk flowers by the image.
