Snowflake slimline card to shake!

Hello to all!

It's my first flat shaker card to showcase, is so popular!

This card is in Top picks here:

https://abcchristmaschallenge.blogspot.com/2022/02/winner-top-picks-is-for-anything.html

I first made a galaxy background using distress inks and cut out the cool snowflakes die out of it. Then added some splatters using platinum Inka gold for some sparkle.

To create a fun shaker dome, I used a thick OHP sheet (thick clear plastic sheet), 1" larger than the die-cut panel and covered my panel with it as shown in the below pic. 

Leave the top part without red tacky tape to fill shaker elements in it, shown in the below pic. After filling shaker elements cover the top part also to close off and secure. 

I filled some diamond dust, snowflakes, sequins into it.

Die-cut a scalloped border 2 times, once from a white sheet and another from a silver glitter sheet.

I mounted it on a white slimline card base. Added a rub-on sentiment over the OHP sheet with some titbits of white circles in different sizes using the same die, some sequins and 2 die-cut snowflakes for snowfall.

So pleased to play with this gorgeous die and love how it turned out!

Happy crafting!

3 D Tunnel Box Card with Satin Rattail cord stitching!

Hello everyone!

Happy Thursday!

This time I came up with creating a 3 D card Box style, so much fun! I decided to try a tunnel box card the first time......partially a card inside this, tunnel style 3 D effect! And I was surprised by how easy it came together.

The precious birds have captured my eyes and how pretty she looks!

Inside the tunnel: Its uniqueness lies in placing the entire composition in a frame!

I started with die cutting some leaves. tiny flowers, twigs out of a bright white CS and watercolored them all. I mixed and match a lot of different dies here to decorate my scene.

I stamped the sweet images of birds in jet black ink and quickly heat embossed them with clear gloss EP for the shine. I watercolored my images using ZIG brushes and fussy cut them all. Added some details with a white gel pen.

I die cut a window blind panel for my inside tunnel panel and added it to my scored white panel as shown in the below pics.

I used adhesive tape so there was no drying time involved either,

For the front panel, I die cut a window blind panel 2 times adhered them together for more thickness. Now simply added satin rattail cord in green color hues as shown in the below pics.

Now I added this front panel to the tunnel box card front. Added all the elements like a bird, flowers, leaves. Finished it off with rub-on transfer sentiment and some hearts.

To accentuate the three dimensional I applied branches and leaves with double-sided adhesives. The nice thing about this card is that it can be folded like a normal card and therefore it can also be can conveniently be enveloped.

I hope you enjoyed this project and you too will soon make your own Tunnel Box card.

Happy crafting!
