Let's Chill Card with Amanda

Hey, crafty friends, and welcome back to the Sunny Studio Stamps blog! It’s Amanda here with you today sharing a cute little shaker card. I’ve been in a shaker-card mood lately, and I couldn’t resist making a fun, playful design featuring some of my favorite Sunny Studio holiday stamps!

I started by creating my shaker portion of the card. To do this, I grabbed my All is Bright patterned paper and found the snowy teal paper. I trimmed this paper down to 4.25” x 5.5”. Using the largest of the Stitched Arch Dies, I ran it through my die cutting machine, centering the arch in the center of the panel.

Once I had my 2 pieces, I glued the background arch to an A2 card base and set it aside. I created my snowy hilly background with the Scenic Route Stamps. While I had all my stamp supplies out, I also stamped my 2 cuties from the Let’s Chill Stamps.  

I created my sentiment using the Build-a-Greeting Holidays Stamps. This set has hundreds of combinations to make holiday sentiments and I LOVE it! I stamped the red words with Catherine Pooler’s Rouge ink first. Then, I stamped the rest with black ink.

I colored the images in with Copic markers. Here are the marker colors I used:
Trees: YG17 YG23
Snow: BG10, BG11, BG13
Seals: W0, W2, W3, W5, R20

Once all the images were colored, I cut them out with their coordinating dies. To make the hilly scene look like it’s in the background, I glued it behind my arched frame. I also put my sentiment strip behind the frame and glued it in place.

Now, to create the shaker part! I placed some Snow White Jewels on my card base in the center of the arch. On my front panel (the frame), I used double sided tape to adhere my piece of acetate. Then, I added foam strips around the entire front panel and then adhered it to my card base. The final step was to add my cute seals with some 3D foam squares to make them pop! 

I had so much fun making this shaker card, and I hope it brings a smile to your face today! If you haven’t tried making a shaker in a while, consider this your little crafty nudge!
