Snow Globe Shaker Card


I created this card for my February stamp club.  It is the first Shaker card I have made.  I think it turned out kind of cute!

Materials:
Stampin' Up! Ink:  Whisper White Craft, Brocade Blue, Basic Black
Stampin' Up! Paper:  Whisper White, Brocade Blue, Chocolate Chip, Basic Black
Stampin' Up!  Accessories:  Crop-a-dile, white eyelets, ticket corner punch, circle cutter, 1 3/4" circle punch, Big Shot, Dazzling Diamonds
Stampin' Up! Stamps:  Cold & Cuddly
Others: Clear acetate, foam mounting tape

Instructions:
  • Cut a circle out of the acetate.
  • Cut a matching circle out of the brocade blue cardstock.
  • Punch a hole out of the cardstock.
  • Adhere the acetate the the cardstock.
  • Cut the foam mounting tape in thirds.
  • Remove the protective layer from the foam so that it is easier to manipulate.
  • Place around the backside of the circle.  Make sure not to leave any gaps!
  • Stamp the image to show up inside the snow globe.
  • Place a small amount of Dazzling Diamonds in the middle of the image.
  • Place the snowglobe over top of the image and press down.
  • Complete the rest of the project.

Create a Photo Magic Cube

I missed posting my Sunday technique video but I've been busy creating the following project.  I lost my scotch tape and had to go buy more which caused a bit of a delay.  Sorry!  Also, I joined a Tuesday/Thursday exercise group and have been busy doing that as well!

I created this fun photo magic cube.  It's just like a never ending card but using cubes.  I have embedded the video tutorial for creating one.  You need to start with 8 cubes created out of cardstock.  I haven't created a video for creating the cubes but any style will work as long as they are cubes.

The first video just shows the completed project.






This second video shows you how to create it.



It was actually a lot easier to create than I thought.  I've included a separate taping image below to help.

Giraffe Punch Card

I saw these two adorable giraffe cards made out of punches at Stamp-n-Design that I just had to try! I didn't have all of the same punches but made due with what I had!  I'm not at all happy with the way the legs turned out.  before I give this away, I might cut some leg pieces out of cardstock to cover over the drawn ones.



Stampin' Up! Paper:  Always Artichoke, Whisper White, Brocade Blue, More Mustard, Really Rust, Creamy Caramel, Regal Rose
Stampin' Up! Ink:  Basic Black, More Mustard, White Craft Ink
Stampin' Up! Accessories:  Big Shot, Texture plate, Word Window Punch, Horizontal Slot Punch, Small Oval punch, 1" circle Punch, crop-a-dile, Large Oval

Rather than re-explaining it myself, you can find the instructions on Stamp-n-Design's blog.  She has amazing punch work.  I will definitely be visiting her again for inspiration!
