Happy Friday! 

What do you have planned for this weekend? We have the first long weekend of the 'summer'- even though it's still really only Spring, we like to treat this long weekend like a summer weekend and hope the weather cooperates with that! No major plans here yet, but you never know what the weekend brings!

Today's card uses the Tap Tap Tap stamp set that will be retiring soon!! I love the color combination on this card too! 

How To Make It: 

Fold a 5 ½ x 8 ½ piece of Whisper White cardstock in half to create card base.

Attach a piece of 4 ¼ x 5 ½ “cursive pattern” from the Neutrals designer paper.

Adhere a strip of Venetian Crochet trim on the back of the Crumb Cake striped piece from English Garden DSP, cut 1 x 4 ¼. Add a banner of Cherry Cobbler card stock cut ½ x 4 ¼.

Stamp the typewriter onto a piece of Whisper White card stock and use the Big Shot and use Oval framelit to cut. Use Stampin' Sponge and Crumb Cake ink around the edges of Oval Shape.

Stamp “hello, my friend” onto typewriter.  Using the  Timeless Texture stamp set and Crumb Cake ink and Black ink, stamped off to add some texture. Use Stampin' Dimensionals and add this piece to card front.

To finish the card, punch a Cherry Cobbler heart and attach to typewriter, and add a Rhinestone. Use two pieces of Linen Thread to create a bow and attach to card with Glue Dot.

Good Morning!!

I just love the colours of today's card! Of course the fact that it's a shaker card makes it even more fun to love! This card uses the Sunburst Sayings Stamp Set to create this fun card that could be used as a graduation card, or any occasion that is worth celebrating!

How To Make It: 

Adhere the Tempting Turquoise Floral Designer Series paper to the front of the Whisper White cardbase.

Use the Square Framelits to create the So Saffron window frame. TIP: Use the 4th framelit die from the smallest of the set to create the inside frame. Place the square framelit towards the top part of the So Saffron layer to create an even frame border. Then shift the square framelit down to finish creating a full frame border.

Use the 4” x 3” Project Life Card framelit to die cut the window sheet.

Stamp the sentiments on the window sheet using Jet Black StazOn ink and let dry thoroughly before adhering to the back of the So Saffron frame using Fast Fuse Adhesive.

Cut 2 rows of Stampin Dimensionals in half. Stick these halves lengthwise (and touching edge to edge) to create a wall on the back of the So Saffron/Window Sheet frame. Remove the paper from the Stampin' Dimensionals, sprinkle a couple pinches of Metallic Sequins in the center, and place the White Vellum cardstock layer onto the dimensionals to seal in the sequins.

Create So Saffron and Whisper White banners using the Banner Punch and adhere to the back side of the shaker frame.

Cut a piece of Tea Lace Doily and adhere to the back of the shaker frame.

Create a small bow with tails using Crushed Curry Bakers Twine and glue to the front of the shaker frame.

Adhere the whole shaker frame ensemble to the front of the card.
