Today’s card is my second edge to edge shaker card. These are so much easier to create without adding all of that foam tape and no leaks!!! I ink sponged my winter night sky, added a moon, stamped my images using Gina K Designs’ Poster Board Christmas and Merry & Bright Stamp TV Kit stamp sets. Added some of GKD’s Vanilla Ice Sequins and then silver glitter….panic set in because the glitter stuck to the background. Using a brush moved it to the trees so they are glistening in the cold winter night. Added a glitter frame to complete this card.

I think Santa my need headlights on his sleigh as the card is a little dark. LOL!

I’ll be entering this card into Gina K Designs July 2021 Monthly Mix Challenge’s Christmas in July hosted by Sheri.

Just Add Ink Challenge 561 — Just Add a Shaker

Back again for some more challenges! I haven’t played in quite some time but felt it was time to jump back into the challenge game. Today’s card is a edge to edge flat full shaker card to meet the Just Add Ink Challenge and my flip flops are definitely a sign of summer for the Double D Challenges.

Using a piece of World Beaches patterned paper gifted to me by my sister, I adhered this to a piece of cardstock to make it sturdier then added some red line tape as well as a sheet protector cut larger than the card base. After adhering all three sides of the sheet protector, I added my shaker bits and gems and sealed the top section. More tape added and I really mean more tape and adhered to the card base. I stamped the flip flops from Gina K Designs Hello Sunshine stamp set first of my last treasured sheet of SU vellum and heat set it then stamped again on patterned paper, fussy cut the flops and adhered to my vellum, adding this and a stamped sentiment from the same stamp set to my card front.

Even though CAS cards are always such a challenge for me, I enjoy playing along with the AAA Cards Clean and Simple Challenges. The current challenge is a sketch with an optional twist of including critters. Since it’s 4th of July weekend and I’m sure we will be having a hot dog sometime this weekend, I decided on GKD’s Cute as A Bug stamp set illustrated by Rupa Shevde an older red rubber set for my any critters. I also used Gina K Designs’ Perfect Plaids by Tami Mayberry to stamp my “picnic blanket” in red ink. After coloring in my image and thinking I needed to add some light blue around the critters, YIKES!!!, mistake the blue looked off so took some pixie powder and a little water on my block and lightly dabbed with a piece of plastic. Maybe I’ll call that rain because for a picnic, you need hot dogs, ants and rain!!! Quirky as I can be, I decided to add the circle sentiment “Take Out” from The Happy Planner stamp set.

It’s a timed challenge at the As You See It Challenge blog and I almost got stuck for time in my foilage card. So the challenge was to create a card under 10 minutes with a foilage theme after collecting all supplies. I CASE’d a Hero Arts card I saw today on their YouTube channel and decided to give it a go. After cutting out the Hero Arts Jungle Fancy Frame die twice in two different shades of cardstock, used my roller brush thingy to get out the pieces of the die….well at least most of the pieces….then used a spray adhesive to adhere in offset layering to my card base. I decided to add the Simon Says Stamp Painted Friend word die also cut twice and added Bonnie’s sentiment strip to complete my card. Good thing I precut the sentiment strips and although a little crooked, I kind of like the idea of this card. Time to wash my sticky fingers and clean up the die pieces which will take another 10 minutes or so.
