Hello
Newton’s Nook Fans!
Diane Morales here sharing a shaken
slimline Birthday Card !
For this card I used the following
items
Slimline Frames
and Portholes Die
I had this idea for a patchwork background for a card for a
while.
But I was not sure how to create it.
I decided I would pick out my paper first and then work on
the logistics.
I used the Birthday Woof’s Paper Pad,
and chose these papers to work with.
To make the background, I went into the stash and grabbed my 1.2 square Paper Shapers Punch.
This made quick work to punch out all the Squares needed for
this background.
After gluing the background to a piece of cardstock, I set the background aside to dry
and
worked on the shaker part of the card.
For my
shakers I use this combo:
2 pieces of die cut
cardstock (front of the shaker)
using the portholes
die from Slimline Frames and Portholes Die
1 piece of
plastic hand cut to fit the die cut piece
1 piece of fun foam die cut with the Portholes Die
I prefer to use the thinnest fun foam that I can find at the craft store, this still gives
plenty of space to for the shaky pieces and die cuts well.
1. I glued my cardstock pieces together
first and let them set up.
2. I glue my plastic to the back
of the cardstock piece.
3. I trimmed up my foam piece and carefully glued it to the plastic piece,
avoiding the parts of the plastic that that you are going to see through.
It is important to let these pieces dry before you work with them so that the
pieces don’t move
around and ooze glue where you do not want it.
The next thing I did was stamp, color, and die cut my piece from
Birthday Barks.
I used the colors in the background as a guide and added pops
of red for fun.
I mocked up the card to see if everything was going to work
together.
I wanted the background colors where my shakers are going to be
(top and bottom circles) to be more diffused.
I used Portholes
Die to cut out vellum circles.
First,
I used the scalloped edge slimline die
from Slimline Frames and Portholes Die
to die cut out the background.
I added my vellum die cut circle on top of the shaky bits and then glued the
patchwork background piece on top.
After the glue was set up and dry, I turned the piece over
and added my sentiment
circle and image from Birthday
Barks.
To complete this card, I created a card base with white card stock
using the scalloped edge slimline die from Slimline Frames and Portholes Die.
Thank
you so much for stopping by.
Hope
you have an awesome week
DIANE
