Winter Wonderland with Die Cut Divas

 Hello Crafty Friends - I am here with a Winter scene card featuring the Waffle Flower Slimline Christmas Tree Dies for the Die Cut Divas challenge. This month's the challenge is Christmas in July.



I sprayed some colored cardstock with some Chroma Mist in Peacock and Oz Dust to give the trees some shimmer and texture. I added a bit of Fallen Snow Glitter Glaze to the snow for a bit more shimmer. I used an embossing folder from my stash to created a faux snow background. Popped up my sentiment and added a few crystals for a finishing touch.

July Sponsor: Waffle Flower

Too Hot?  Make it Feel Like Christmas!  Our challenge theme is: Christmas In July.

The Prize: $15 gift card

    Father's Day Shaker Card with Clear Scraps

     Hello Crafty Friends - I am here with a Father's day shaker card featuring the Mini Square Chipboard Shaker from Clear Scraps.


    Supplies Used:
    My Stash
    Cardstock: Black, Light Gray & Light Yellow
    Shimmer Cardstock: Silver
    Acrylic Paints: Metallic Gun Metal Gray & Matte Black
    Shaker Bits
    Hero Arts: Celebrate Everyday Clear Stamp Set
    Various Dies: Tools, Stitched Rectangle
    Metallic Silver Stars Embellishments
    Metallic Brad Tops Embellishments
    Bearly Art Glue & Foam Strip

    Step 1. I paint the base of the Mini Square Chipboard Shaker in the Metallic Gun Metal Gray. I then paint the top frame of the Mini Square Chipboard Shaker in Matte Black. I set them a side to dry. 


    Step 2. I adhere the two inner pieces of the frame of the Mini Square Chipboard Shaker together with some Bearly Art Glue.

     I set a heavy acrylic block on top of them to help them dry flat.

    Step 3. I adhere the inner frames onto the base and set a heavy acrylic block on top of them to help them dry flat.

    Once dry gather all the elements for the shaker.

    I put the shaker bit into the base.

    I put some glue around the inner frame and place the clear acetate that come the Mini Square Chipboard Shaker


    I then adhere the top frame onto the Mini Square Chipboard Shaker and place a heavy acrylic block on top of it.


    Step 4. While the shaker is drying I adhere the Black cardstock tot the card base then the Light Gray cardstock. I stamp the sentiment onto the Light Gray Cardstock and mat it with the Black cardstock.

    Step 5. Now that all the elements are dry we can assemble the card. 

    I start by adhering the shaker to the lower part of the card front. Then, I adhere the die cut tools onto the Mini Square Chipboard Shaker.

    Next, I adhere the sentiment with a foam strip for a bit of height. I then adhere a few Metallic stars and Brad top to the card front.


    Now, the card is complete!
