Slimline Shaker Card with Not 2 Shabby

Hello there my stamping friends.

So, have you played with Digital stamps? I am somewhat new to them and it is a like a new world has opened up for me! I love that I can find an image that I might need for just one occasion and have it that instant to make a card or project.

So, when Jamie asked me to be a part of her Digital Stamps design team for Not 2 Shabby, I was thrilled. Today's card features two Donut images found on the Not 2 Shabby shop, designed by Jamie herself. And this card and video is for a collaboration I am doing with another of the design team members, Marla Harris. For this collaboration Marla challenged us to use stencils on a slimline card, and I got to pick the digital stamps we use.

So, you can check out what I made and then see what Marla did for this challenge.

I used the stencil for the background of this slimline shaker card. It is the Rain of Hearts stencil from Penguin Palace. In the video I show you how easy it is to use a 6" x 6" stencil on a slimline card.

These donut image are so fun to color. I use COPIC Markers to do my coloring. I printed my images on an HP Envy printer on to Neenah 80lb. card stock. I did not have any issues with the kind bleeding on this image. If you would like to see how Jamie from Not 2 Shabby colored these images you should really watch her videos here and here. I don't know why but making desert themed cards is one of my favorite kinds of cards to make. And most of the time they turn out to be shaker cards too. So, this one is no different. For my shaker elements I used some heart shaped sprinkles that I had on hand.

I did not forget about the inside of the card. IF you are going to say Treat Yo'self on the outside of the card, you should really be a gift card on the inside. Or cash, cash is always good. The sentiment stamp is from Concord & 9th and is in the Cool Treats stamp set. I also used the heart die from the Cool Treats set for the brown hearts on the outside of the card, they made for cute embellishments. Especially when I added a bit of Cocoa Blush Nuvo Jewel drops to them.

The gift card holder I used is from Fun Stampers Journey, it's the Gift Slider Die set. I love that the gift card is behind a little bow! And when put on the inside of a slimline card you still have half of the card to write your personalized message, win! Also, I just found out that the Gift Slider Die is on sale as part of the Super Summer Sale at Spellbinders! It's 40% off!

Now let's watch the making of this card.
