Hi crafty friends, Marine here with a tunnel
shaker card featuring three super cute penguins having fun and dancing to
celebrate the holidays. They are from Penguin Pals as well as the
fishes, postcards and candy canes, and I also picked the tree from Feeling Frosty. I stamped those images
on white cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink, and colored them
using my alcohol markers.
Next I created the tunnel panels. I cut four 5,5 x 4,25"
panels out of grey, white glitter and white cardstock as well as a grey pattern
paper from the Subtle Grey Tones paper pack. I set the pattern
paper panel aside and kept the three others. And using dies from Stitched Oval 2, I cut a large oval
window out of the grey panel, a medium oval window out of the white glitter
panel, and a small oval window out of the white panel.
I wanted this tunnel card to be a shaker card as well, so I kept
the white panel and attached a piece of acetate at the back of it using liquid
glue. I added foam tape at the back of each tunnel panel.
And on the white panel, I also added foam tape all around the
window to create room for the sequins. I applied powder all along the inside
edges of the foam around the window (the powder makes the edges of the foam non
sticky and this way the sequins don't stick to it), I cleaned the acetate,
and then I added a mix of white sequins, snowflakes, Pure white jewels and Crystal clear jewels into the window
section. I peeled the backing off the foam tape and attached the pattern
paper panel to totally close the shaker. And then I stuck the two other tunnel
panel on top of this shaker panel: the white glitter one first and then the
grey one on top.
To finish this tunnel nicely, I created a frame. I first used
the largest die from Scalloped Oval Mat 1 to cut a white
woodgrain panel, and then I used the largest die from Stitched Oval 2 to cut a window out
of this woodgrain element and this way create an oval frame that I attached on
the tunnel panel.
I also cut and
glued a white wavy border at the bottom of the panel, and then I attached the
images using liquid glue, foam squares and glue dots. Finally I white heat
embossed my sentiment "It's penguining to look a lot like Christmas"
from Penguin Pals on a slim blue banner that I attached at the top of the
tunnel using liquid glue.
And that's it. Feel welcome to check the process video (click on the photo above) to see how easy this
tunnel technique is. I hope that you will give it a try! See you next week with
a new card and video!---------------------------------------------
Hello
everyone, Anja here and today
I'm sharing another holiday card where I mixed and matched several fun
products. The Scalloped Oval Mat 1 Dies and
the Stitched Oval 2 Dies set
the scene for the sweet Lazy Christmas sloth.
First, I created an A2 card base from white heavyweight cardstock. I die cut
the peppermint stripes paper from the All Is Bright 6x6 Paper pack
with the largest of the Stitched Rectangle Dies.
The scalloped oval was cut from teal cardstock. I die cut the stitched oval
from white cardstock as well as from Subtle Grey Tones woodgrain
paper. I trimmed the patterned paper and adhered it to the bottom. I stamped
the sentiment in VersaMark Ink and heat embossed them with silver embossing
powder.
Stamp sets and dies used:
Sloth: Lazy Christmas Stamps + Dies
Cookie plate: North Pole Stamps + Dies
Stack of gifts: Lovable Llama Stamps + Dies
Candy Cane, tree, sack (used as a pillow): Santa Claus Lane Stamps + Dies
Next, I stamped
the images from several sets (find them listed below) in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and
colored them with Copic Markers. I cut everything out with the coordinating
dies. The fir tree was stamped in green and brown ink and I added Rainbow Pearls in matching colors as
ornaments. Finally, I assembled my card by adhering everything with liquid
glue.
Thank you so much for stopping by! Have a cozy day!
