Time for another creating with my Stamp Set of the Month, Birthday Basics Turnabout stamp and die set by Concord & 9th. I picked this set to feature this month because not only can you make amazing backgrounds but it has supporting stamp images to go with the background as well as dies to make fun elements to go with your backgrounds. As with every stamp set of the month I have a tutorial available, find out more about that on THIS BLOG POST.
For todays card I am finally using an idea that has been in my head for a while to do with these fun birthday backgrounds. An inlaid shaker card, because I LOVE shaker cards! Basically you die cut a window in the background, and then use the piece you die cut out as the back of the window.
I die cut a star from the card front, the stamped Birthday Basics background, to create the shaker window. The star is then adhered to the card base so that it lines up with the background, giving some what of a 3-D effect.
The colors I used on this card were inspired by the Star-Fetti that I used as my shaker elements. It is somewhat of a unique color combination that I would not have thought up on my own. I used the ink pads, Candy Apple, Bubble Gum, Citrus Cooler and Pretty Amethyst by FSJ to create my background. The Birthday Basics Turnabout stamp set makes for such fun backgrounds because they can be multi-colored.
You can watch the making of this card in the video below. I do a LIVE Facebook demonstration with my stamp set of the month every Monday night at 8:00pm MST.
