Easter Geo Bunny Card

Hi there! 

Easter is here and it can mean many positive things; new Beginnings, warmer and brighter days, when nature blooms to life and for religious individuals it’s Christ’s resurrection but for the young it’s a time to indulge in chocolate. I think Easter deserves a big celebration and today I’m sharing a shaker card I made just for that. Oh and I just love the ombre glitter card! 

TUTORIAL: 

To make this quick A5 shaker card, I die cut a large oval window out of a ombre glitter card and trimmed the sides off by 5 mm and kept the oval negative. I then lightly traced the oval window on to a white card stock with a pencil before securing the acetate over the oval window. I then adhere the negative cut on to the white card stock following the traced guideline to create a window background for accurate positioning.

 

Then with some foam tape, I positioned it around the oval window on the underside of the glitter card ensuring the gaps are connected to avoid the shaker elements to fall through. 

To assemble the cards and it’s shaker elements, I poured adequate amount of the shaker elements on to the centre of the background oval that’s attached to the white card base and removed the foam tape backing to position the window panel over the shaker to secure it. 

TIP: use a ‘ L’ acrylic block or any L positioning tool to help with even mounting. 

For the focal image, I die cut the geo rabbit out of gold mirror card and adhere it onto the acetate window. I then used some holographic nail art strip tape to create an ultra fine frame and with my hot glue gun I attached a couple of gold plated alloy book corner embellishments in the opposite corners. I finished off the card with a white heat embossed Easter sentiment from clearly besotted on to a burgundy strip, as I think black seemed too ‘harsh’ on this soft card. 

Thank you for stopping by, I wish you a great Easter weekend and will be back with another card soon. Please follow my blog for a heads up when new posts are up or simply for more inspiration.

Pink glitter foxy card

Hi friends, I’m back after a short break with this really sparkly and girly A2 card. This dimensional card has a lot of details but not overly busy, and it’s a great card that has no specific theme so it can be used for any occasion, but I made this into a birthday card. 

 

I started off with an silver/pink ombré glitter card for the background, I selected an area I want to cut to a smaller than A2 size, I took in approx 2-3cm off from each side. I then created a frame by placing a smaller rectangular stitched frame die inside of my A2 scallop edge rectangular die. ensuring there is enough space for my strip foam tape to run along the panel later. 

I then used a large floral die to make a background window (you can use any background dies) to adhere to an acetate sheet before placing the foam strip. I find this method best for keeping any loose glitter in place as well as any intricate dies a sturdy backing. Not that these ombré glitter cards will rub but I do prefer to keep it protected.  I absolutely love these ombré glitter card-stock, so I purchased a bunch of these in different colours from hobby craft (UK) online. 

Building the focal image with the scrap parts of the glitter card using mama fox & baby by  Cottage Cutz and using foam squares and dots to raise them up on the front of the card. Finishing off the card with a silver embossed birthday sentiment by clearly besotted stamp from their scrumptious birthday sentiments set on a fog card strip. 

I loved how sparkly this card is in real life, I really hope you have a go or I have given some inspiration today, stay blessed and thanks for dropping in!
