Valentine's Day Shaker Card | Zig Clean Color Markers | Neat & Tangled

Hi Friends~

Today I wanted to share with you this shaker card featuring Neat and Tangled's stamp set Favorite Little Nut.  This is an adorable set and perfect for Valentine's Day.  You could also use this set all year long too!!  

I love these illustrations by Elena Roussakis!  She's got such a fun and sweet style to her images and love the fonts also that she creates with her sentiments!

For my squirrel I decided to color with my Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers.  These are great to achieve a fast water color look to your images!

 I also stamped several times one of the acorn images, and created my own shaker bits to add inside the window, along with some die cut hearts.  My red panel is a piece of Pure Poppy card stock from PaperTrey Ink.  This red is one of my favorites!  I die cut my card stock with a stitched rectangle die from Mama Elephant and created my window using MFT's Peek a boo window die.


I added two layers of foam adhesive to ensure my shaker elements would move around well.  Before putting together my shaker card, on the front of the focal panel, I stamped my sentiment from the same Neat and Tangled set, You Are My Favorite!

Once I was happy with how that stamped, I put my shaker card all together.  I wanted to add a bit more silver into my card to tie in my shaker bits, so I die cut a piece of MFT silver sparkle card stock with one of my Hero Arts Infinity Dies.  Love this set!!  So handy to have!

For the inside, I stamped another sentiment from the same set, I am nuts for you, which I felt appropriate for my shaker theme.

Thank you all for stopping by today, and I hope you have a wonderful Valentine's Day with your loved ones and friends!

Holiday Card Series 2016 | Card #1 | KWCardDesign

Hi and welcome to my first card for my Holiday Card Series for 2016!!  It is crazy that we are thinking about the holiday already!  This year has flown by!!

Today, I wanted to start off my series with this adorable set from Neat and Tangled called Beary Merry.  I also wanted to use some of the wonderful plaid papers from Lawn Fawn.

I started by inking up my images onto a piece of Vintage Cream card stock and using my Mini Misti to get the best possible impressions.  I love my mini Misti - it really has been a great tool to have in my craft room!!

I wanted to use my Copics to color this adorable bear, so I started out by using E43 but didn't like that result, so I switched gears and used E15 as my lightest shade and then used my E 37 to add some contrast and darken up around the edges.

I used R22, R29 and R39 for the main part of the present, and then used BG11 and BG 13 for the bow, and YG 09, YG41 and G02 for the tag.  I used some of the plaid papers from the Lawn Fawn Perfectly Plaid Christmas and chose a green plaid to paper piece the bear's scarf.

I used the Hero Arts Infinity Rectangles dies to cut a piece of more plaid pattern paper for the focal panel, and one of the Mini Stitched Scalloped Rectangles from MFT and die cut a piece of my Vintage Cream card stock.

I stamped my sentiment from the same Neat and Tangled set using my MFT Black Hybrid ink, and then placed some foam tape onto my bear as well as the framed pieced.

For the final touches I used my black glaze pen on the bears nose and eyes, and then some Wink of Stella shimmer pen for the bow on the present.

Love this bear!  He was fun to play with!!  Thanks for stopping in for the first card of my HCS!  I will be back soon for Card #2!  Have a great day!!
