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")

Hi everyone! :o)

I hope you're all well and enjoying the weekend. :o)

This Monday, May 25th, was my turn to be on the spotlight over at Jane's Doodles Blog and I made this Bee Happy CAS Shaker Card. :o)

To make this card I used stamps from two Jane's Doodles stamp sets: a bee from 'Spring Icons' and a sentiment from discontinued stamp set 'Boris the Bunny'.

How I made my card....

First I worked on a shaker window.

I die-cut a honeycomb in two white cardstock paper panel, glued an acetate sheet over the window between two panels. I stamped the sentiment on the panel and glued the honexcomb die cut over the acetate window.

I blended Distress Inks on a white cardstock paper scrap, splattered the surface with water, dried it and repeated the process. When I was satisfied with the color, I glued  the ink blended scrap on a white top folded card base.

Then I glued 2 mm thick foam squares on the panel, filled window with transparent beads and glued the panel on the card base. I glued another white panel inside the card base to make my card sturdier.

Next up was the adorable bee. I paper pieced the image.

I stamped the bee twice on a watercolor paper and colored it in watercolor technique using Distress Inks. On one image I colored only wings and other bee's body. After drying, I fussy cut parts I needed and traced edges with black marker.

I stamped another bee on a white cardstock paper and fussy cut it, leaving thin white border around it. I colored the bee with a grey marker. I glued watercolored parts over the grey bee, first wings then body.

Lastly, I glued 1 mm thick foam squares at the back of the bee, glued it on the card and my card was finished. :o)

I really like how my card turned out. :o)

Gemini Birthday Shaker Card (CASology Week #366 mid-inspiration)

Hi everyone! :o)

Last Tuesday, April 14th, 2020, a new challenge started at CASology. This fortnight's cue word is Zodiac. :o)

There's still plenty of time to join the challenge, which ends on Monday, April 27th, 2020, 9 AM, CDT (UTC -5).

We also have a sponsor for this challenge: STAMPlorations. Find all details about the prize over at CASology blog.

I had one more card that fits our cue, so I'm bringing it today as mid-inspiration. I created the card last year, but I didn't share it anywhere yet.

And here is my 2nd take on the challenge: CAS (clean and simple), interactive, Gemini Birthday Shaker Card. :o)

Design defined: 

Shaker element can work well on CAS card.

How I made my card....

To make my card I used stamps from two Mama Elephant stamp sets: a Gemini image from 'Cosmic Stars' and a sentiment from 'Starry Night'.

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

I stamped another image on a white cardstock paper and fussy cut it, leaving thin white border around it. I colored the image in black.

Then I glued together two images, watercolored one and black one. I did this to make the image thicker, as the watercolor paper I use is very thin.

Next up was a shaker window.

First I die-cut a circle in a white cardstock paper panel, glued an acetate sheet over the window and stamped the sentiment on the panel.

Then I blended Distress Inks directly on a white top folded card base. I splattered the ink blended part with water and repeated process until I was satisfied with a color. I glued 3 mm thick foam squares on the panel, filled window with shaker mix and glued the panel on the card base.

Lastly, I glued some 3-D foam on the image, glued it on the card and my card was finished. :o)

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

List of supplies:

• Mama Elephant 'Cosmic Stars' stamp set
• Mama Elephant 'Starry Night' stamp set
• white cardstock paper
• white watercolor paper
• Ranger Archival Ink (Jet Black)
• Tim Holtz's Distress Inks:
• Tea Dye
• Mustard Seed

Ornament Shaped Winter Shaker Card (Fairy Tale Challenge #185)

Hello everyone! :o)

It's time for a new challenge over at Fairy Tale Challenge Blog.

Our theme for this fortnight is #185, Photo Inspiration. Create anything inspired by a photo below.

I was inspired by a beautiful winter frozen scene and created this Ornament Shaped Winter Shaker Card.

To make this card I used gorgeous dies from Create a Smile 'Frosty Fun' kit.

I die cut an ornament in a white cardstock paper. I blended sky with Distress Inks and after drying coated it with Clear Wink of Stella. I did same with a hanger.

I used negative part of a die-cut ornament as a stencil. I traced ornament shape twice on the white cardstock paper and cut them out. I used them as a card base.

I glued all parts of the ornament die-cut on the ornament shaped base.

I didn't want to use foam for my shaker card, so I die cut 10 more ornaments in the white cardstock paper and used only frames (rest I left for other projects). I glued 9 frames together and glued them on the ornament. I glued acrylic sheet on a last frame to get a window, filled the card with shaker elements and glued the window on the ornament.

As shaker elements I used snowflake die-cuts and tinny die cut leftovers from my previous projects. :o)

Lastly, I connected the ornament shaker and the ornament shape together with a long fastener and glued the hanger on the top of the ornament. Clear Wink of Stella over the hanger and my shaker card was finished.

List of supplies:

• Create a Smile die from 'Frosty Fun' kit
• white cardstock paper
• Tim's Holtz Distress Inks
• Mermaid Lagoon
• Blueprint Sketch
• Tim Holtz Idea-ology Long Fastener
• ZIG Wink of Stella Brush (Gl. clear 999)
• UHU universal glue

My second card today is this Colorful Christmas Tree Shaker Card.

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.
