would You Like Some Bubbly?

| marialrussell
Hello my crafty peeps!  I’m back for Cas-ual Fridays Stamps today to share this cute shaker card, showcasing some of my favorites from the last release called Pop, Fizz Clink stamp set with the Champagne Flute dies and the Bubbly Stencil.  Incidentally, all stencils are on sale right now so grab your faves!
To make the card, I temporarily adhered the Bubbly Stencil on some  Neenah Solar white card stock and added some color with dye inks using some blending brushes.   I adhered this piece on an A2 size card base.
Next, I die-cut the Champagne Flutes a couple of times using some gold and white card stock, as well as some acetate sheets.  Instead of using foam adhesives, I adhered the pieces together to create my shaker well.  I also added the acetate sheet on one end, then added my shaker element to the well.  I closed my shaker by adding another piece of acetate sheet on top, making my champagne flute see-through.

I stamped my sentiment on my focal panel with some Versafine Onyx black ink.  I finished my design by adhering both champagne flutes on my card.  Here’s another look:

I absolutely LOVE how this card turned out!  Here are the supplies if you’re interested:

This Calls For a Serious Celebration with Trinity Stamps

| marialrussell

Hello!  I am back today with a fabulous celebration card using products from Trinity Stamps.

For my project, I am showcasing the 3×4 Serious Celebration stamp set and coordinating dies, along with the Slimline Stitched Card Panels & Windows, 3×4 Just For You stamp set and the 6×9 Slimline Balloon stencil.

I started by die-cutting my slimline panel on some Neenah solar white card stock using the biggest die from the Slimline Stitched Card Panels & Windows die set. I stamped the Serious Celebration on this piece and colored it in with my Spectrum Noir Classique Alcohol markers.

The word “serious” was die-cut using the Serious Celebration die set and adhered with liquid glue for added texture.

The gnome was stamped and colored with alcohol markers and foam-mounted on the card panel for added dimension.

Lastly, I used the Slimline Layered Balloons stencil and the Blending Buddy brush to add the balloon.  Here’s another look at the card:
