Flower and Lantern

Hello everyone! Welcome back to my blog. Today I have another floral card with a shaker lantern. 

I die cut the Altenew - Floral Acanthus die and embossed the pieces with the Floral Acanthus Embossing Folder. It doesn’t fit exactly, but after embossing, I used a scissors to trim off the excess from the die cuts and I colored them with copics. I die cut the piece from Altenew - Decorative Enamel die with rose gold cardstock. I die cut a few more from white cardstock and cut out all the pieces from the center to get just the frame for shaker. I used some tiny die cuts from the same rose gold cardstock for the shaker bits. I embossed the grey background with Altenew - Crisscross Blooms embossing folder - it has become a favorite of mine this week. I used the colors from the current Altenew Inspiration Challenge.

Floral Ring Shaker

Hello everyone! Welcome back to my blog. Today I have a floral card with a circle shaker. 

I die cut the Altenew - Floral Acanthus die and embossed the pieces with the Floral Acanthus Embossing Folder. It doesn’t fit exactly, but after embossing, I used a scissors to trim off the excess from the die cuts and I colored them with copics. I used the Altenew - Fine Frames Circle die set to die cut the rings with rose gold cardstock and created a shaker with the rings and vellum and some tiny die cuts as the shaker bits. I embossed the black background with Altenew - Crisscross Blooms 3D embossing folder and arranged and adhered all the elements on it. I love the look of coral on the black background. I used the colors from the current Altenew Inspiration Challenge.

Cosmos

Hello everyone! Welcome back to my blog. Today I have another floral shaker card. 

I used the Altenew - Sulfur Cosmos die set to create the flowers. I inked the center of each layer lightly before adhering the layers. The frame is from Altenew - New Day Card Kit Heart frame die set, which I die cut from rose gold cardstock. I took a piece of vellum and embossed it with Altenew - Cross Weaves 3D embossing folder and used it for the shaker. For the background, I used Altenew - Crisscross blooms 3D embossing folder on grey cardstock. I used the colors from the current Altenew Inspiration Challenge and inspired by the my Altenew Challenge hosted by Ishani.

Twinkle Stars

Hello everyone! Welcome back to my blog. Today I have a Christmas card with a shaker star element. 

I die cut the Simon Says Stamp - Twinkling Stars from a teal/ light blue cardstock and also from gold cardstock. I stamped stars from the Hero Arts - Holiday Sparkles stamp set with Tide Pool ink. The shaker pieces are from different shaker mixes I had - I combined some gold stars sequins, gold round sequins and some golds beads for the shaker. I added the gold star die cut on top of the acetate.

Favorite Anemone

Hello everyone! Welcome back to my blog. Today I have another floral shaker card to share with you. 

I die cut the HoneyBee Stamps - Lovely Layers: Anemone die on pink card stock and leaves on green. I added a light shading on the flower layers with copic and adhered the layers. I die cut the lantern in black using the HoneyBee Stamps - Lantern builder die set. I used it as the shaker cover. I used a sequin mix from my stash for the shakers. I arranged the flowers, buds and leaves on top of the lantern. The sentiment is from HoneyBee Stamps - Fall Swags stamp set.

Wedding Lilies

Hello everyone! Welcome back to my blog. Today I have a wedding card with lilies. 

I die cut the Altenew - Stargazer Lilies on colored card stock, inked them in the center and adhered the layers. I embossed a grey cardstock with Altenew - Always Sunshine 3D embossing folder. I die cut the arch frame from rose gold cardstock. I used vellum for the shaker cover. I didn’t have any rose gold sequins, so punched a few holes from my rose gold cardstock for the shaker. I die cut few branches from a dark green card stock and vellum using Altenew - Berries and Branches. Arranged all of these elements on the card and adhered them down. 


I used the colors from the Altenew Inspiration challenge. What do you think? Thanks for stopping by. Have a great day.
