Magical Day Shaker – Just Add Ink #404

Hi Everyone,

I am taking part in this week’s Just Add Ink Challenge.

This time the task is to create a Shaker card…. Not something I make a lot!

Pop over to the Just Add Ink blog to see what the design team have made.

Here is what I created.

I just love the Magical Day stamp bundle … It is such a shame it will be retiring at the end of May.

The card base is made with Pink Pirouette card stock. Some Daffodil Delight striped paper from the Tutti-Frutti collection was adhered to the front.

I chose to make a heart shaped aperture from Pink Pirouette card stock. Some Window Sheet adhered to the back with Fast Fuse.

Adhesive foam strips were applied around the aperture and the edge of the card stock.

Gold glitter flakes and some sequins were placed in the centre of the card. The aperture was then adhered over the top.

The sentiment from the stamp set was stamped with Pink Pirouette ink and cut with the Everyday Label punch. This was adhered with dimensionals withe some Silver metallic thread looped behind.

Three unicorns were coloured with Stampin’ Blend markers.

I hope that you enjoyed this project. The supplies used are listed below.

Really simple, cute little project.

Without a Little Rain

Hi there Everyone,

With all the rain we have had recently, I thought this was just the card for today.

This is very simply made by die cutting the rainbow bands from coloured card stock.

I used Real Red, Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight, Garden Green, Tempting Turquoise, Rose Red and Elegant Eggplant.

Three clouds were die cut from Whisper White card stock.

I decided to use one of these to stage the sentiment.

Using Smoky Slate card stock as the base really made the colours in the rainbow pop.

A few raindrops stamped at the top completed the design.

I hope you enjoyed this project. The supplies used are listed and linked to the online store below. If you live in the UK, France, Germany, Austria or The Netherlands, I would love to have your business.

Hello Everyone,

I am joining the Just Add Ink Challenge again this week. The theme is:

To see what the design team created, click here!

This is my project. I chose foil and feathers!

I went all in with the card base and used a piece of the Foil Frenzy collection. I love this Soft Sky foiling.

The little budgies are from the Bird Banter stamp set. They were stamped on Very Vanilla card stock with Tuxedo Black Memento ink and coloured with Stampin’ Blends alcohol markers.

I used a Stitched Circle framelit to cut the image. This was adhered flat towards the left edge of the card front.

The sentiment is added simply using a small banner, which I layered with some Soft Sky card stock to complement the foil.

Finally, three “feathers” were stamped and cut from Soft Sky card stock. These are actually the little stylised leaves from the Daisy Delight stamp set!
