Holiday Shaker Gift Card Tag by Robin Tharaldson

Well it's official, the Holidays are here, whether we are ready for them or not!!  My super easy shaker tag is great for those last minute, I need a gift now situations!! I'm using the Double Stitch Tags set to create my gift card holder, which could double as a card base; you need to watch my video to see how the inside is put together!!

For the shaker panel I used Simple Pinpoint Snowflake Frame, clear acetate and 1/8" foam strips from Darice! These tiny foam strips made this shaker go together FAST! No more cutting minute foam strips...

My sentiment, from the Christmas Time stamp set, is inside and holds the gift card!!  The following video will show you just how easy this tag card is to make AND it fits into an A2 envelope!

 

Thanks for stopping by...

Challenge Reminder: Autumn Shaker Card by Nadine Carlier

Hello, Nadine here today! Have you entered the Poppystamps Happy Harvest challenge yet this month? It's not too late, you still have until Nov. 28th to enter.
For my inspiration for the challenge, I made an off the edge Autumn shaker card.

The Give Thanks Brushed die was the perfect sentiment for this card, topped off with some Rinea Foiled Paper.

I used the Whittle Maple Leaf and Whittle Oak Leaf dies for shaker windows and created a water brush effect using some ink and metallic color spray for the background.

Watch my video tutorial below to see how I created my shaker card.... 

The rules are simple and you could win a gift card to the Poppystamps store!! For all the details click HERE!  I can't wait to see what you create for this challenge!

See you next time!
Nadine

Christmas Shaker Gift Tags by Nadine Carlier

Hello, Nadine here and this year I decided I wanted to make my own gift tags instead of buying them and since I love shaker cards I decided to make shaker tags. Poppystamps has so lots of tiny dies that fit perfectly inside of the Pinpoint Shaker Ornament die.

I think these Tiny Fawns are one of my favorite dies. I just added a little ink to them to give them a little more dimension. 

Of course, I also had to have a Santa's Sleigh in one of the shakers too.

For my third shaker tag, I used the Whittle Snowman and Whittle Trees.

 Want to know exactly how I created these shaker tags? Watch my video below...

Thank you so much for stopping by and happy crafting! 

Nadine

Joy To The World by Marybeth Lopez

Hello and happy fall to you all! Marybeth here today with a Christmas shaker card, that could pop off and be used for an ornament . I used the Poppystamps Pinpoint Shaker ornament along with  Bubble Spiral and Santa's Sleigh. All linked below.

I  glued a few layers of die -cut fun foam and one layer of acetate then filled with a mix of sequins and beads, all white. If you look closely  you can see I added glue around the main piece with the sleigh and placed on top of the filled ornament.

I always thought the Bubble Spiral would be good to hang something on or maybe add a large balloon to the top and let it be the string.

It's a clean and simple card with Joy to the World stamped using the CL467 Tidings of Joy clear stamp set from Poppystamps .

 

Thanks for the visit today.

Stacked Die Cut Holiday Shaker Card by Rebecca Keppel

There are so many ways to make shaker cards. The entire card front can be a shaker window or you can create a shaker element on your card. I chose to do the latter for this ornament shaker.

You can use foam to create the dimension of the shaker, but if you don't have any foam, you can absolutely stack up cardstock die cuts to create the shaker element instead.

A shaker element is perfect for holiday cards and this one is clean and simple enough to be recreated a bunch of times to have a stack of very special holiday cards ready to go!

Check out this video to see how I use stacked die cuts to create this shaker:

Merry and Bright by Nancy Penir

Greetings  Poppy fans! I'm up on the blog today bringing you a card with some of the new holiday dies.

Lots of steps to make my Merry and Bright card. Let's start with the shaker.

I cut my Pinpoint Shaker ornament from glitter paper, 3 times. I plan to make 3 of these cards, and to try doing the same to all of my handmade holiday cards this year. So much easier while all supplies are on hand, and when it's time to send out cards I'll have plenty ready to go.

The back of the shaker was cut from a piece of card stock treated with Magical powder. Powder is sprinkled on, and when spritzed with water, the magic happens. Perfect for the shine I was going for. I love the shimmer that pops out when it dries.

Instead of foam to build my shaker, I cut the die 4 times so that the edge would be smooth. Then I applied glue and glitter. You're going to see the side of the ornament, why not finish it with bling? Looks so 'holiday'!

Plenty of shine for the background too, with Oxide ink and Mr. Huey's Color Mist. It's a holiday card, folks. Time to shine!

Speaking of shine, let's not forget the Pine branches.

I gave my pine needles plenty of Snowflake Tinsel Embossing Powder by using my Versamark Ink Refil directly onto the needles.

Once dry, I gave some extra 'snow' by applying it again. 

Here's a closeup of my 'flocking'.

Hope you're inspired to start your holiday stash. And take my word, when it's time to send them, have 3 of each will come in handy!

Hope your week's extra crafty!

Shimmery Shaker by Marybeth Lopez

 

Hello again! Marybeth here a with a shimmery shaker card using the new Poppystamps : Delicate Branch Collage along with Sending Scribbles Clear Stamp .

Below I have a few step by step pictures.

I covered up the branches using the negative of the die then lightly shaded the frame with a brush for a smoother look over the watercolor paper.

I watercolored the branches with a water pen and Zig pens, careful not to let the water run onto the sides of the frame.

Before taping fun foam to the back I adhered a piece of acetate to the back of the branches . Make sure your fun foam is at the very edge of the opening so the sequins don't fall to the bottom, where you won't see them. I filled the back up with sequins, placed my stamped back panel to the card then placed to my card base.

 Not the prettiest picture above but you get the idea. The backside doesn't have to be perfect in fact I tape and cut the fun foam as needed. For me the Fun Foam seems to lay nicer than the foam tape. Your choice either one works.

I loaded this one up with lots of sequins , hope you like it!

Thank you for the visit.

Blog Blitz: Summer Release! by Nancy Penir

Hi Everybody! We're celebrating a Blog Blitz here at Poppystamps. And if you love the die I'm showcasing, LEAVE A COMMENT! That's all you have to do, and you might win this darling Delicate Branch Collage die. 

Couldn't resist making it into a  shaker. Like to make one similar? Here's a rundown of my how-to's.

First I stenciled a card base with MB's Texture Dot Grid. I'm all about layers. And depth. and pattern. The more the merrier!

As you can see, I stenciled 3 shades of ink onto my card, not worrying about anything in the center, that part will be covered.

I inked up a white linen look cardstock in blue and purple, before cutting out with my die. 

Also cut it again, so I could use just the branches. Notice I used my die with the branches on top. I knew I was going to add a sentiment on the bottom, so I wanted to keep the bottom clean.

Friend Folksy Scrip is one of the new dies being released too. Stay tuned for one of the other designers featuring it as her giveaway. 

I cut my scrip die twice, once from navy blue cardstock, then from white. I love doubling up my dies, for added depth. Did I mention I LOVE layering? Couldn't resist adding a bit of Wink of Stella to my word die.

If you'd like a chance to win the Delicate Branch Collage die, remember to leave a comment.

Someone's gonna win, hope it's you!
