MHKDesigns - May Challenge

Hello friends!

It's time for a new Monthly Challenge at MHKDesigns!

Here is our design inspiration:

I decided to make a fun shaker card! Here is what I created:

I used the Various Vehicles stamp set for the sentiment and the Beautiful Bottles stamp set for the focal image.  I colored the bottle using Prismacolor Pencils - but then decided to cut off the top and add some embossing powder do it. I wanted to try to make the sequins look like the perfume coming out of the bottle! 

  

I hope you enjoy this card and will play along with us this month!

See you next time,

Corner Garden Shaker Card for SparkleNSprinkle

Hello Friends!

 

I'm back with my final April project for SparkleNSprinkle!  I used the beautiful Corner Garden Stamp set to create this fun shaker card.  It was actually a pretty easy card to make - and the Champagne Glass Glitter makes the perfect "shaker" material!

Supply List:

Corner Garden Stamp Set #842

Black Detail Embossing Powder EP171

Champagne Glass GlitterGG02C

Clear Embossable Acetate 99602

Flashy Flamingo Embossing Powder EP452

Daffodil Embossing Powder EP217

Limoncello Jewel Drops 844N

Versamark Ink VM-001

1/2" Tear-ific Tape SAT04

 To start the card, I took a piece of white cardstock and stamped my flower images using Versamark Ink, then embossed with Black Detail Embossing Powder.  I watercolored the entire panel, adding pinks and blues to give a soothing vibe.  The sentiment was stamped with Versamark Ink and embossed with Flashy Flamingo Embossing Powder. 

I stamped the butterfly image a few times onto a piece of scrap paper using Versamark Ink and embossed with Daffodil Embossing Powder. 

Next, I punched a window using a flower handheld punch.  I added a piece of Embossable acetate behind the cutout using 1/2" Tear-ific Tape.  Then I took some 3D Foam Tape and made a border around the window and the panel- on the back of course (sorry for the lack of pictures - they disappeared on me when I uploaded to my computer!). I filled the window with some glass glitter, and attached my background cardstock.  Phew!  That was a mouthful. 

 

I attached the butterflies with some extra pieces of foam tape and finished the card off with some of the Limoncello Jewel Drops!  Next time I make a shaker, I will try to double check my photos to ensure they all saved! LOL  I'm going to try to make a video too.

I hope you enjoyed this month's creations and can't wait to share my reveal card!

SparkleNSprinkle - Pool Friends

Hello friends!

I'm back today with a new card for SparkleNSprinkle.  This time, I used the new release stamp set called "Pool Friends" to create a fun shaker card!  Let's go!

SparkleNSprinkle Supply List:

Pool Friends Stamp Set - #792

Margarita Glitter - GM2032

Memento Ink - Tuxedo Black - ME900

Quicky Glue Pen - {quicky}

Clear Embossable Acetate - {99602}

Paper Cut Cardstock - Zeus {PC272}

1/4" Tearific Tape {SAT-01}

1/2" Tearific Tape {SAT-04}

Foam Squares {01615}

Pull Ribbon - Blue/Gold {MONR09}

Foam Roll {GBCF3116}

Pearlescent Watercolors {99709}

Step 1:

Stamp image onto white cardstock using Memento Ink and color. I used our Pearlescent Watercolors and an aquabrush to paint mine.

Step 2:

Create your "window".  To start, I took a 4x5.25 piece of blue cardstock and used an embossing folder to add some dimension.  I took a second piece of the same sized blue cardstock and cut out the window using an oval die & my Big Shot machine.  I cut a piece of Embossable Acetate to 4X5.25.  The colored image was centered where I wanted it to show through and adhered using 1/4" Tearific Tape to the background piece.  Next, I attached my Embossable Acetate to the underside of the "window" piece using 1/4" Tearific tape.  

I added the Foam roll all around the very outside edge of the base (I cut the roll in half to make it skinnier so it wouldn't "peek" into my window.  I added my sequins and then attached the top panel carefully so the Foam Roll wouldn't show through. So far, so good!

Step 3: Embellish!

I stamped out 5 beach balls using Memento Ink, watercolored and fussy cut them out.  To add more sparkle,  I took my Quicky Glue Pen and added some Margarita Glitter to some of the beach balls.  I stamped out the drinks & sentiment and followed the same procedure (watercolor, Margarita Glitter and trim). I adhered the sentiment and some of the beachballs using Foam Squares (adds dimension!) and the rest was adhered using Tear-ific Tape. I also added a piece of pull ribbon to the sentiment using a mini stapler. I didn't pull it, just cut a small piece and formed a small loop.

Finally, I doodled around the outside edge using my Quicky Glue Pen and sprinkled on Margarita Glitter.  The entire "shaker" was then adhered to a piece of 4.25X5.5 Zeus Gold Carstock using 1/2" Tearific Tape.  

See how simple a shaker card can be?  

I hope you enjoy this card and pick up some of the supplies I used to create it from the shop.

Until next time,
