Pull Strip Shaker Card

Hi there, my friends! Janette here bringing you a creative alternative for a gift card presentation. Who doesn't want a simple "Thanks" with a gift card thrown in for added appreciation? However, the recipient won't be returning the "thank you" for long if the contents are falling all over their feet. Sealing those pretty shaker diamonds between two layers of acetate will solve that dilemma. Follow along and I'll show you how...


Supplies:


Paper Dimensions:

  • 4 1/4" x 5 1/8" White Cardstock
  • 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" White Cardstock (Scored & Folded)
  • 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" Hex Print



Directions:
  1. Die cut black cardstock with MFT mid-sized Rectangle Scallop Frame.
  2. Die Cut matching sized rectangle into top of white cardstock with MFT Inside/Out Stitched Rectangle.
  3. Die Cut pull strip across bottom of white cardstock.
  4. Die cut 3 layers of sentiment and adhere stacked together with liquid adhesive.
  5. Apply Sparkle Pen to sentiment.

Assembly:
  1. Adhere hex print to card base with tape runner adhesive.
  2. Adhere acetate slightly larger than opening to back side of white cardstock over rectangle opening.
  3. Apply 2 layers foam adhesive to completely surround and seal rectangle opening.
  4. Apply 2 layers foam adhesive below pull strip. Do not cover any portion of pull strip.
  5. Fill with your shaker components. (I love these new Queen & Company diamonds!)
  6. Remove release paper from foam tape around rectangle only and adhere another layer of acetate sealing contents inside so that when card is shaken out, shaker contents stay in place.
  7. Place gift card on hex paper so that it will be seen through window.
  8. Apply tape adhesive around sides and top of rectangle.
  9. Remove any stickiness from bottom of rectangle, where card will slide out, by dusting with a powder tool, or simply baby powder or cornstarch.
  10. Remove remaining release paper and place shaker portion over gift card onto hex paper. 
  11. Adhere black frame to front around rectangle opening.
  12. Adhere sentiment only to the actual pull strip so that the card will remain treasured after the gift card is shaken out.
  13. Apply Sequins.
I am really enjoying turning greeting cards into a creative alternative for gift card giving. Let the ones you care about know that you put thought and effort into their gift, even if they are difficult to shop for!

Thank you for stopping by. I hope you visit again soon! Vanessa has the shop back up and running after her crop so pop on over if you've got the itch!

Baby Tags featuring the We R Memory Keepers Fuse Tool!

Happy Monday! This is Kim Hamilton and I am so very excited to be sharing my first post with you for Butterfly Reflections Ink! This is making my first day back to work after a two-week break a happy one! I am sharing baby gift tags today, one of my friends is expecting and not sure what she is having so I made one of each! I used my  We R Memory Keepers Fuse Tool  for the first time and loved it! I cut my own  Tim Holtz watercolor paper  to the size of tag I wanted (2 3/4 x 4 1/4) and cut the edges with my trimmer.  I stamped my sentiments that are by  Lawn Fawn Hello Baby  with VersaMark ink and used white embossing powder. For the girl tag I used a mix of Spun Sugar, Picked Raspberry and Abandoned Coral  Distress Inks  and for the boy tag I used Peacock Feathers, Cracked Pistachio and Twisted Citron  Distress Inks .  I sprayed both tags with some water and dabbed it off. I then stamped my images by My Favorite Things  Snuggle Bunnies  for the girl and Magical Dragons for th

Painting backwards....

Hello, hello!  Norine here from The Velvet Lemon blog .  It's been a week for introductions hasn't it, but let me just say how delighted I am to have been invited to join such a talented group of paper crafters, and to contribute here at Butterfly Reflections Ink!   Today I'm sharing with you, some cards I made by working backwards.  What do I mean, you wonder?  Well, it's a technique I sometimes enjoy doing, where you "smoosh" your water based ink pads on a craft mat, mist the colors with water and then drag your water color paper through it to create a pretty mess of color.     For today's cards, I wanted a blend of blues and greens (always a crowd pleaser) and yellows/pinks.  You will always be happier with the results when you keep the green/blues from overlapping with the yellow/pinks, because that just produces an unappealing mud color.   I used a variety of Tim Holtz Distress Inks for this project, but any water based inks w

Altenew’s 4th Anniversary Blog Hop Day 3 + Giveaway

Hey, hey BRI friends!  We're hopping today to celebrate the 4th Birthday of Altenew , one of our favorite stamping companies!  You should have arrived here from the Altenew blog , and we're glad you're here to share the excitement! There are prizes and inspiration and it's going to be FUN! With you today, is Norine from The Velvet Lemon  creating for Butterfly Reflections Ink  and I have some projects to share today, that I made using some recently released Altenew products .   First up, are these two cards created with the Mega Succulent stamp set .   I stamped the image onto water color paper using the MISTI , then turned on the music and sat and colored.   I used Faber Castell watercolor pencils so I could more easily control where the color would sit and then painted with a water brush .  I stamped the sentiment onto a piece of vellum, heat embossed with clear embossing powder to ensure that the ink wouldn't smudge, then tore the vel
