Shaker card using Perennial Lavender

 Hello & Welcome crafty friends!

I'm joining this week's TGIF Challenges #455 to create a shaker card that was inspired their sketch challenge.

I've been playing with the gorgeous *Perennial Lavender Suite and just adore the colors and design of this suite! You can find this Suite on page 23 of the 2024 Jan-April Mini Catalog.

*PLEASE NOTE: this Suite is unavailable for ordering until after the week of January 29th. 

The frame of the shaker card I created is made from the Lost Lagoon Soft Shimmer Paper, which really gave this card front a special touch.

Shaker Cardmaking Tips:

• DSP for card front measures 4-1/8" x 5-3/8"
• Strip of DSP on card front measures 1-1/2" x 5-1/2"
• Stamp the greenery and lavender flowers onto a 2" x 3-3/8" piece of Basic White cardstock. The greenery is stamped full strength with Shaded Spruce ink then offset and stamped off. Repeat across the bottom the cardstock piece.
• Use a small blending brush and some Highland Heather ink to add towards the bottom of the greenery. 
• Cut the scalloped rectangle from Lost Lagoon Soft Shimmer paper using the 3rd largest die from the Scalloped Contours die set. 
• on the back of the scalloped rectangle cutout, use your pencil and a ruler to mark the area you will need to trim, about 5/16" in from the edges. Use your paper trimmer to cut the area out and create a frame.
• The small butterflies were created by coloring directly onto the stamps using Lost Lagoon, Berry Burst, and Gorgeous Grape Stamp N Write markers.
• Don't forget to carry over some of the same elements from the card front over to the inside of the card.

Wedding Anniversary using Nature's Sweetness DSP

 Hello crafty friends!

I'm sharing a unique and special Wedding Anniversary fun-fold Card that I created as part of a request from a friend.

 I chose to use the Nature's Sweetness Designer Series Paper (DSP) from page 41 of the NEW 2024 Mini Catalog by Stampin' UP!. This paper is beautiful and elegant, I love it!!

I did CASE (copy and share everything) the fun-fold template from Connie Stewart then modified it to fit my needs.

Cardmaking Tips:

The video that Connie shares on how to create the card base is very simple to follow so please use that as your guide.

I did create a quick cheat sheet and includes the list of supplies I used for this card and have uploaded it to the Free Tutorials tab of this blog page.
