Shaker Card – Shaking Up My St. Patrick’s Day Birthday Card

Hey peeps.  As promised I’m shaking up my St. Patrick’s Day birthday card for my sister.  I mean who doesn’t love a great shaker card?  If you missed my card from yesterday you can check it out here.  This card will be for my twin sister again because our birthday is on St. Patrick’s day (lucky us) and I always try to incorporate green into our cards. IF you’ve missed any of my other shaker cards, you can find them here.

For my card today I’m pulling out all the stops.  Overload of green and sequins?  Yes, please.  This card was super easy to create and would be perfect for spring as well.  I mean look at all that beautiful green on this card!! 🍀 I’m in love with this color combination of twisted citron, mowed lawn and lucky clover distress oxide inks.

Working My Green With A St. Patrick’s Day Deco Foil Birthday Card

Hey peeps.  I’m working my green today making a St. Patrick’s Day Deco Foil card.  My birthday is on St. Patrick’s day and it’s a special on this year because my twin and I are turning 50!  Yes we made it to this fabulous age and I couldn’t be happier.  You see when I turned 40 I was diagnosed with colon cancer.  It was the scariest time of my life and for my family.  We were so fortunate that the cancer was easily removed and I am almost 10 years cancer free.

Anyway back to the St. Patrick’s Day card for my sister. I started with a beautiful blend of distress oxide inks for my background.  Next I added some splattered gold splatter to the background as well.  Wanting to pull in some beautiful gold foil on my card, so I grabbed my deco foil foam adhesive sheets and foil sheets and got busy.

My completed card looked great with all the gold and green.  Perfect for St. Patrick’s Day. You can see more of the deco foil in action on this video I made during my holiday card series.

Holiday Card Series 2018 – Day 6

Hey peeps. We are on Day 6 of the Holiday Card Series. My card today will be featuring Concord and 9th again as I’m so in love with their Christmas and Winter themed products. I’m using the Ornamental stamp and die bundle and some sparkly paper.

This die will fit the front of a card panel with little room to spare and that’s what’s so great about it. It can be the key element to you card with little work. Add a simple sentiment and you are done.

Holiday Card Series 2018 – Day 5

Hey peeps.  I hope you have been enjoying the tutorials I have so far for you.  Today is Day 5 of the Holiday Card Series 2018. I’m sharing a really cool stamp set and die bundle from Concord and 9th today.  I LOVE how this card turned out as it’s dimensional and super cute to boot. If you missed any of the card series to day you can find all the videos here.

This card will fit into to a regular size A2 card envelope however, when the recipient opens it, it will pop up and stand on it’s own.  Such a cool way to wow a recipient.  The stamp set and dies are called Christmas Cottage.  There are a few measurements you need to be aware of.  You will need three pieces measuring 5 x 3 and one measuring 6.75 x 4.25.  Now if I totally just confused you, it looks like this. This is cut from a 8.50 X 11 piece of cardstock.

If you are using designer paper (which is lighter paper for any of these pieces, make sure to adhere them to a stronger cardstock so that the card holds up.  I’ll share this with you in the tutorial.

Holiday Card Series 2018 – Day 4

Hey peeps.  It’s Monday and I’m back with the Holiday Card Series 2018 – Day 4.  I’m so excited to share with you an easy technique to produce really great cards.  No stamping required for this one and it’s easy to mass product.

For my card today I’m using foil, scor-tape and a large graphic die cut to make quick, fast and a hurry cards.  You can pull out any color foil for this project and any width scor-tape.  The design concept is easy to follow and you can change it up anyway you want.

 

Pairing the foil with a light sheet of vellum tones down the harshness and adding glitter paper for the sentiment really makes this card stand out.
