Magical Unicorn Dreams Shaker

Hello friends,

Kris here to share some Friday inspiration with you.  I've created a fun Unicorn Shaker card that is perfect for a young girl.  The inside says "Birthday Wishes"


DESIGN STEPS:

I die cut the Flying Unicorn and the Rainbow with Clouds from white cardstock and colored with Copics.


Next, I cut (2) pieces of white cardstock at 4-1/4" x 5-1/2".  From one of those, I die cut the largest Double Stitched Rectangle die from the middle, creating a frame for our card front. 


From the Double Stitched Rectangle that was cut out, I die cut one of the Clouds Slimline dies.


On the other A2 piece of cardstock,  I ink blended Distress Oxide inks over the whole background, then repeated it onto the frame.    



I used Scor Tape to adhere a piece of acetate to the backside of frame, and also to the backside of the clouds border for the front.  Before removing the tape backings, I inset the clouds and glued the rainbow so the ends are tucked under the clouds. 


Once I got my clouds adhered on the front, I flipped it over to the back and added 1/8" foam strips around the opening, then added my shaker elements.  I then placed my ink blended layer (back of shaker) upside-down onto the foam strips.


I die cut "Magical" from the Magical Unicorn Dreams die from lavender c.s. and adhered to bottom of clouds, then I popped up the unicorn with foam strips.  

I cut a white A2 top folding card base and attached my shaker to the front and done!

I AM Always With You

 Hello Friends

It is Pam creating with you today!      

PRESIDENT SALE IS ENDING February 21 AT 9:00 PM PACIFIC!  DON'T MISS OUT ON THE FANTASTIC SAVINGS!!!

This card is going to someone who needs a little uplifting and encouragement.   I decided to go with a mini slimline design to feature the Garden Butterflies and Bees die and the Morning Glory die.  


Design Steps:

1.  Start with a mini slimline white card base when folded measures 3 1/4 x 6 1/4.  Cut a addition piece of white card stock 3 1/8 x 6 1/8
2.  On the extra piece of white card stock use a stencil and blue ink for the background.  After stenciling use the same color of ink and add some spattering
3.  Glue the stenciled panel to the front of the mini slimline base

4.  To create the butterfly wings I used a piece of Alcohol Ink Yupo paper.  I put several colors of alcohol ink on an applicator and dabbed it onto the Yupo paper

5.  Using the Garden Butterflies and Bees die cut out the back of the butterflies using the Yupo paper and then cut out the outline for the butterflies in black card stock.  Cut out the Morning Glory vine in green and the flowers in white.  I add a touch of yellow ink to the inside of the morning glory flowers
6.  Glue the Morning Glory vine and flowers to the card front as shown above
7.  Next add you butterflies and sentiment and your card is complete
