Aunt Shirley Tea

Hi everyone, 

Today's card showcases this adorable image call "Aunt Shirley's Tea" from High Hopes Stamps!

To make this friendship card I stamped and colored it with alcohol markers. I have fun fussy cutting so that is what I did for this image. The pattern paper is "Lest's Celebrate"from First Edition I used this awesome die frame from Kat Scrappiness to created my shaker. Sequins are from my stash. I layered my "Aunt Shirley's Tea" on top of some die cut and one of my first crepe paper rosettes.

To finish my card I used a couple stitched rectangle dies and stamped "Friendship Special Tea" with Memento black ink. I also used my Nuvo drops to embellish it. I hope I've inspired you today. Check up  High Hopes Stamps blog to see what the team have created!

Party Hippo - Shaker Card

Hello High Hopes Fans!!!

 

TGIF!!!! For this week's card, it was time to try something new.  A technique that I have never attempted before, so here's my first shaker card....
 Jane

 A little different view to see the confetti inside...

 

This is Party Hippo (S201) and Lg. Fancy Happy Birthday sentiment (H037).  Such a fun card to make... I don't know why I haven't tried this technique sooner?!?!?!? 

 

I started by colouring the image with Tombow Markers and water. After the image was all coloured and dry, I needed to get a plan together on what I was going to use for a border around the image and the materials for inside the shaker part.

 

After some tough choices, I decided on a stitched square die to create the frame of the shaker.  Two dies were used in the set - the larger one to cut the outside edge and the next size smaller for the inside of the frame.  The main image was cut down to a slightly smaller size than the frame.  A clear plastic sheet was glued on the inside of the frame.  Thin strips of foam tape were applied behind the frame to cover the entire square.  Before adhering the foam tape, I dug through my craft room to find some really old birthday confetti, that was purchased from the local dollar store, many years ago.  This confetti was added on top of the main image loosely.  The frame with the foam tape on the back, was stuck down on top of the main image square.  It is very important to ensure that you have a good seal around the image and frame, or you will spill out all of your contents of your shaker very quickly, when you pick it up!!!  I found this out the hard way! lol!

 

The designer paper is from Echo Park - Birthday Wishes 6x6 paper pad, along with SU Not Quite Navy, Really Rust and White Cardstock.  The sentiment was stamped with a Versamark Ink Pad and White Embossing Powder was applied then heated.  Foam tape was also used to attach the sentiment.  To complete this card, a couple of decorative plastic balloons (from the dollar store - purchased many years ago too), were added on the top corner of the frame.  A small piece of linen thread was tied around the knot part of each balloon, to finish this card.
