Mason Jar CAS Shaker Card (Jane's Doodles DT June Spotlight)

Happy Friday! :o)

This is my second post today. If you missed the first one, just scroll down, or follow a direct link here. I've announced my 6th Bloggoversary winner. :o)

This weekend I'll be sharing my Jane's Doodles spotlight projects that I made in June, July, August and September, but I didn't share them here on my blog yet. Two days ago I shared full list of projects that I'll be sharing (here).

Today I'm sharing my June and July spotlights, three spotlights in total, all in separate blog posts. My posts are scheduled and will go live every hour.

First one today is this CAS (clean and simple), Mason Jar Shaker Card. It was my spotlight project for Jane's Doodles on Thursday, June 4th, 2020.  :o)

To make this card, I was inspired with my own card that I made in April 2018 (here).

I used stamps from two Jane's Doodles stamp sets: a mason jar from 'Life is Good' and a sentiment from 'Cactus'.

How I made my card...

I stamped the mason jar on a white cardstock paper panel and cut it out with sissors (I left a lid uncut). I traced the edges and colored the lid with a black marker. Then I glued an acetate sheet on the panel to close window.

I stamped the sentiment on the acetate window. I fixed some lines with a black fine liner. 

I stamped another jar on a white top folded card base. I ink blended it with Distress Inks. When I was satisfied with the color, I glued 3-D foam squares on the panel, filled the jar with transparent beads and glued the panel on the card base.

Then I stamped another lid on the white cardstock paper scrap and ink blended it with Distress Inks. I cut out the lid, traced edges with the black marker, glued 3-D foam squares on the lid and glued it over the black one.

To make my card sturdier, I glued another white cardstock paper panel inside the card.

As a finishing touch, I coated the lid with a Clear Wink of Stella and my card was finished. :o)

Card measurements: 95 mm x 127 mm (3 3/4" x 5")

List of supplies:

• Jane's Doodles 'Life is Good' stamp set (mason jar)
• Jane's Doodles 'Cactus' stamp set (sentiment)

White Feather Card (IC #13)

Hi everyone! :o)

Today I want to share with you this CAS (clean and simple), White Feather Card. :o)

I made this Interactive (IC) ACCORDION GATEFOLD CARD for my Celebrating 30 Days of Pisces 2019 personal challenge. If you want to find out more about it, just follow the link provided. :o)

This is a thirteenth type of IC I made for my challenge. I made 15 different types of interactive cards during Pisces period, which was my personal challenge. I completed my challenge, achieved my goals and had a lot of fun. I wrote a short review about the challenge here.

It's taking me much longer than I planed to share all my IC cards with you. I will give my best to share rest of two by the end of this month.

How I made this card...

To make this card I used gorgeous feather die cut I got from a dear friend crafter, Alice of Scrap & C. Thank you so much, Alice!!! ♥

For a card base I used a white cardstock paper cut to 11 1/4" x 5". I scored the paper at 1 7/8", 3 3/4", 7 1/2" and 9 3/8" on the longer side and folded paper along scored lines. I got a card base measured 3 3/4" x 5".

With the card base ready, I die cut a feather on both gate flaps. I glued an acetate piece behind each gate opening, but just on one half.

I die cut 4 more feathers from a white cardstock paper scraps and glued two together (stacking die cuts). Then I glued stacked feathers into gate openings (die cut inlay technique).

Lastly I created a super simple belt that will keep the card closed. I cut a vellum paper to a desirable size, wrapped the vellum belt around the card (not too tight), removed it and glued two endings together to form a belt. I placed the belt on the card to keep it closed and my card was finished. :o)

Card measurements (closed): 95 mm x 127 mm (3 3/4" x 5")

List of supplies:

• Sizzix thinlits die - Little Feather Mini
• white cardstock paper
• vellum paper
• acetate sheet
• UHU liquid glue
• Sizzix Big Shot
• Fiskars High Precision Personal Paper Trimmer
• bone folder
• crafting needle
• post-it papers

I LOVE how my card turned out!!! :o) There is so much space to write a message. Here is a short video. :o)

Music: dR.Izzy - Angel on my shoulder...  

In this video I used music from a friend of mine and a first neighbor now, very very talented mister, dr.Izzy. I used part of a track Angel on my shoulder.... Beautiful music he creates is shared and is downloadable for free from his Soundcloud account. Thank you dr.Izzy!!! :o)

Thank you for stopping by and your kind feedback. Enjoy and smile! :o)

For You Shaker Card (Jane's Doodles DT Spotlight)

Hi everyone! :o)

It's been quiet for a while here on my blog. I had some extra school activities and classes last two weeks, field trip class... I focused on my work and planing school activities and put crafting and blogging aside for a bit. I also start to work in my balcony garden. :o)


Yesterday was my turn to be on the spotlight over at Jane's Doodles and I made this For You Shaker Card. :o)

For my card I used stamps from two BEAUTIFUL Jane's Doodles stamp sets: Life is Good and Doodle Flowers.

 

How I made my card...

I stamped a jar on a rainbow patterned paper and cut it out with scissors (I left a lid uncut). I traced the edges and colored the lid with a black marker. Then I glued acetate sheet on the panel to close a window.

I stamped another jar on a top folded card base, glued 3-D foam on the panel, filled the jar with sequins and glued the rainbow panel on the card base.

Then I stamped another lid on a pink patterned paper, cut it out, glued 3-D foam on the lid and glued it over the black one.

To make card sturdier, I glued a white cardstock paper panel inside the card.

I struggled with a sentiment and had no idea where to put it. Without the sentiment, there was just something missing and didn't like it. Finally I decided to stamp the sentiment directly on the acetate sheet. I fixed some lines with a black fine liner and my card was finished. :o)

Card dimensions: 95 mm x 127 mm (3 3/4" x 5")

List of supplies:

• Jane's Doodles 'Life is Good' stamp set (jar)
• Jane's Doodles 'Doodle Flowers' stamp set (sentiment)
• white cardstock paper
• Lawn Fawn 'Really Rainbow' petite paper pack
• acetate sheet
• various sequins
• Ranger's Archival Ink (Jet Black)
• Stabilo Fibre Tip Pen (Marker), Black 68/46

• UHU liquid glue
• foam sheet, 3 mm thick
• foam sheet scraps, 1 mm thick

Peace and Joy Shaker Card (Jane's Doodles DT Spotlight)

Hi everyone! :o)

On Thursday, January 12th, was my turn to be on the spotlight over at Jane's Doodles and I made this Peace and Joy Shaker Card.

To make this card, I used two Jane's Doodles stamp sets: 'Christmas Blessings' and 'Winter Wishes'.

  

I was inspired with cards I made in November 2016, where I used triangle shapes to create Christmas trees. You can find them here.

I cut a white cardstock paper panel slightly smaller than a card base, cut out a triangle window on it and heat embossed in white snowflakes on it.

Then I heat embossed in white a sentiment on an acetate sheet, glued the acetate on the panel and glued 3-D foam sheet on the back of the panel.

I made my own shaker mix from various beads, sequins, droplets... filled the window with the shaker mix and glued the panel on the card base.

Lastly, I glued another white panel inside the card to make it thicker and more stable, because front of the card was quite heavy and card couldn't stand.

Froggy Circle Shaker Card

Hi everyone! :o)

Today I want to share with you Froggy Circle Shaker Card I made for my niece's Tea 6th birthday. ♥

I wanted to make something colorful and fun for Tea. I decided to make circle shaped shaker card. This is my first circle shaped shaker card and I was very satisfied with it. :o)

How I made this card...

First I cut all circles I needed. Here are the measurements:

• card base: 3 3/4" x 2
• border: outside 3 3/4", inside 3 1/4"
• acetate: 3 10/16"

To make a card base, I glued two circles together on top.

Then I glued acetate circle on a borer, which I cut out from designer paper from lovely Create a Smile 'Beach Party' kit.

For shaker elements I used Pretty Pink Posh sequins from the kit. Lovely colors, but there was green color missing in my shaker mix. I used designer paper from the kit and cut and punched out circles from it. I mixed all elements together (paper circles and sequins) and assembled the card.

Next up was an image. I used an adorable froggy from Paper Smooches 'A Little Lovin' stamp set.

"Frogs are symbols of prosperity, wealth, friendship, and abundance in many cultures. In other cultures they symbolize fertility. In the Native American culture of the Southwestern United States, the frog carries a piece of wood in its mouth because the Mojave people believe frogs brought fire to humans. For the ancient Romans, the frog was believed to bring good luck to one's home. Native Aborigines of Australia believe that frogs brought the thunder and rain. Frogs are said to be effective in speeding up recovery from disease. Among the ancient Egyptians and Greeks, frogs symbolized inspiration and fertility. In ancient Egypt, Hekt, the frog goddess, protected newborn babies, hence frogs were symbols of fertility and birth. The frog is also said to attract true friends and to help find long-lasting love."

Source: 50 Good Luck Symbols From Around The World 

I stamped the froggy on a watercolor paper and colored it in watercolor technique using Distress Inks. After drying, I fussy cut it and colored edges with black marker.

Watercolor paper I use is not so thick and it doesn't work good with 3-D foams. I stamped one more froggy on a scrap of white cardstock paper and fussy cut it out, leaving white border around it. I glued colored froggy over uncolored one and my image was thick enough to work well with 3-D foams. :o)

I glued the froggy on the card and the card was almost finished. 

Inside the card, I glued alphabet stickers and the card was ready to be sent to my sweetie. :o)
