When I saw the new shaker mixes by Heffy Doodle I thought they were beautiful and I could not wait to put them in a shaker card. So, today I am sharing three cards I made with 3 of the new mixes. First let's take a close up look at the mixes I used.
These mixes are a blend of different color of sequins. Also different sizes of sequins. The three mixes are; Pink Fizz, Pixie Hollow, and Unicorn Dreams.
And here are the cards made with these mixes. The stamp set I chose for these cards is Koality Hugs. There are so many cute Koala bears in this set that it was easy to create three cards with this set.
You can see these cards come together in the video below. If you can not see the video up on your screen, here is a link to the video on my YouTube channel.
Now let's take a close up look at each card.
Card One - Pink Fizz Sparkle Mix
The background for this card was stenciled with the Wonderful Window Masquerade stencil and Salt Water Taffy Distress Ink. There are sequins in this mix that are that color as well as some other shades of pink.
I was able to stamp and emboss my sentiment onto the window of this card because I used heat resistant window sheets.
Besides the adorable hugging koalas sitting on the branch I wanted another element to dress up the front of this card and so I pulled out my Forest Leaves die set and some glitter paper. Adding these to the corners of the card really helped to draw the eye into the center of the card.
CARD TWO
Such a sweet sleepy koala, love this image so much. I added a party hat to him, since he is like me ready to have fun but also ready to go to bed early. LOL.
This back grounds was super easy to use with the help of the Vertical Vines stencil and some Distress Oxide spray! The fun thing about making a sprayed background with a stencil is that the spray collects on top of the stencil and you can press a piece of paper on to that and make a second background with our anymore work! I will use that second background on card three.
The leaves on this card are die cut from glittery fun foam, designed by Spellbinders for die cutting! It's great and does not shed glitter! I've linked it for you below along with the other supplies I used.
I just love the green and purple together on this card, all inspired by the Pixie Hollow sequin mix.
CARD THREE
Here is the background made from pressing my paper on to the stencil after using Distress Spray on it. You can see it has white vines with green around them. This time I used patterned paper for the leaves around the frame of the card. This print is from the Wild Flowers paper pack. The enamel dots I used on the centers of the flowers are a matching pack to the Wild Flowers paper. The edition of the flowers to the base of the leaves is so fun, a great touch.
I love that with one stamp set I could use different Koalas on each card and a different sentiment. A stamp set with versatility like that is my favorite!
So, which one is your fave? Each card was designed around the sequin mix, which was a lot of fun to do. And now it is time to send these cards out and let them bring some happiness to someone else.
Below you will find the supplies used to make these cards. Let me know if you have any questions!
