Father's Day card.

Stopping by quickly today to share a Father's Day card I finished this week. 

This is officially my first shaker card. 

Don't forget to recognize all those Dad's out there...it's Sunday!

I was inspired by this card that Jennifer did as well as many others on Pinterest using this fun Fisherman stamp set. 

I discovered this new to me Stamp Company, Your Next Stamp. 

They have some really fun stuff.

There is a stamped fish within all those sequins in the lake. 

I think I need to pop him up with more foam tape next time so the sequins don't sit in front of him. Right now he is barely peaking through the mass of blue-Lol!

Thanks again to Jennifer for the great inspiration. 

Cool stuff used to make this card...

A Berrylicious tutorial!

Happy Monday!! 

Hope you all had a great weekend enjoying some fantastic summer weather. It's my design day over at Jaded Blossom and with that I have a treat project with a tutorial using the Jaded Blossom Lollipop die. 

In this project, the treat becomes part of the card itself. All you need is some neutral colored paper and the bright colors of the packets do the rest. Of course, a couple fruity embellishments are a must!

Let me show you how I made them.

First, cut out the base shape using the lollipop die. You can see in the photo, your paper doesn't need to be as long as the die for this project.

Now we will need to cut a second time with the die in order to add the scallop edge on the bottom edge as well.

You will need to flip over your existing die cut so when you cut the second time the faux stitching will be on the right side when folded. 

Place the die cut on the die where you want to cut it. It is important to line up the faux stitches on the die cut with the metal die. This helps secure the paper in the die a bit. 

When you put it through your die cutting machine to cut this second time, you only need to push it through far enough to cut the scallop edge.

You now have the modified shorter lollipop die cut with a scallop edge on both ends.

I folded the bottom flap up at the first score line from the bottom for the drink packet to fit perfectly.

I used glue dots and bakers twine to hold the flap in place. i finished each card with some fun fruity die cuts and sentiments. 

Here is the rest of the cool stuff I used to put this treat together...

JB Candy Charms and Banners dies

JB Scallop Circles dies

JD Stitched Circle dies

JB Berrylicious

JB Flag Die

JB Baking Dies

SVG Cutting Kawaii Peach

Have a crafty day!!
