A bride's Bouquet Slimline Shaker Card
by Sandi MacIver on Mar 26 2021
Hi friends, it's Sandi here from sandimaciver.com and today I have A Bride's Bouquet Slimline Shaker Card to share with you.I'm in love with slimline cards and a shaker card is an added bonus don't you think.
Start with the background using the Slim Line Nested Rectangles Dies to die cut a slimline background.
Next, cover the background with the Slimline Broken Fence stencil and secured it.
Add Paper Glaze randomly over the background in Peony Pink and Pink Carnation (they are truly stunning together), and blend them by pulling the pallet knife down the entire length of the background a couple of times.
Then, set this piece aside to dry.
By using the small and large of the Slim Line Nested Rectangles together, you create a white frame for your card with a pretty stitched edge. I tape them together and die cut them both at once.
Next, add a thin line of white glue around the back and attach a piece of acetate cut the same size.
By adding a thin line of foam tape all around the back of this, you create the void in the center for the "shaker guts".....Picket Fence has a beautiful selection of sequins that are perfect guts, and I chose the Gin and Tonic Mix for today's card.
Pile a heaping teaspoon into the center of the dry background and then attach the frame piece you just created, pressing firmly around the edges to ensure it's sealed.
Next, attach it to a white card base. This one is 7-1/2 x 9, scored and folded at 3-3/4.
I used my Misti to stamp the floral image twice in Black Hybrid Ink before coloring it with my copics. Then I cut them out and added them to both ends of my card.
Finally, I die cut the sentiment in Gina K Dusty Rose and White cardstock and attached it to the center of my card.
There you go....a pretty floral for spring, just change out the sentiment for whatever event you are celebrating. (and I'm sorry, it seems I used a retired sentiment die as I can't find it in the store so I've linked a couple the same size that would work).

Happy Friday to you!
Becky Roberts here from Inking Idaho with a beautiful wedding card. Weddings might look a little different but the bride and groom still get celebrated. We have three weddings this summer that we would have attended but now we will just send a beautiful card and perfectly packaged gift...the benefits of having a ton of stamping stuff!
I used the beautiful stamp set called A Bride's Bouquet. It has this image and several great sentiments for that special day.
I colored the bouquet with Copic markers and hand cut it out. I stamped the same image directly on the card so the stems would be there and I didn't have to cut them out. I placed foam squares behind the image and gently placed it over the stamped card. I used markers to continue to color those little stems.
I added Gin & Tonic Sequins - oh how I LOVE this mix of sequins!!
Before I did all that I lightly stenciled the background with the Fancy Kaleidoscope Stencil, which unfortunately is currently sold out and the Life Changing Blender Brushes.

Hi Everyone, Becky Roberts here from Inking Idaho with another project from the January Picket Fence Studios Release.
This is called A Bride's Bouquet. I love the cotton in this bouquet and all the coloring possibilities!
A Bride's Bouquet Stamp Set
This card is colored with Copic Markers and the sentiment is embossed on Vellum.
This is one of the purses in my Fashionable Favorites tutorial available HERE. I used the bouquet as a 'fabric' background and a few of the flowers for a tag.
I used my envelope punch board to create an envelope. The flowers pull out and it is a congratulations card.
I colored the flowers with Copic markers and then hand cut out a few extra to make it more dimensional. The sentiment is embossed with black embossing powder.
This is a must have for spring and I hope I've provided you with lots of inspiration!
Happy Friday!
Becky
