Peep Trio

 

Hello and Happy March!!!  Gosh I think February may seem longer than January.  Today I have a card that I had made a video of, but I had some major computer issues and lost it all.  I hate when that happens.  At least I still had the still photos.  This card was created with a new die from Trinity Stamps.  Shaker cards are one of my favorites to make and I thought that this die would make the perfect shaker window.

For the background on this card, I used the Retro Diamond Pattern 6x9 Layered Stencil.  The colors are, Tumbled Glass, Twisted Citron, Spiced Marmalade and Picked Raspberry Distress Oxide Ink.  Once I had all my colors stenciled, I spattered my background with watered down Blueprint Sketch Distress Oxide Ink. I trimmed it to 5.25" x 4.0".

I laid the Peep Trio Die in the center of the card and ran it through my die cut machine.  I did the same thing on a piece of medium cardstock.  I cut one more trio from a light lavender cardstock.  

I centered my inked background piece on another piece of medium purple cardstock cut to 5.5" x 4.25" to find out where to place my lavender trio, which will be the background of my shaker well.

Using a 1/4" 2mm foam tape, I went around the outside of my bunnies to make my shaker well.  I used more foam tape to cover where the inked paper would rest to make sure it was supported.  

I filled my wells with Pool, Honeydew and Bubblegum Sparkle Spots and a little of Green Gleam Chunky Shreds.  

I laid my inked background on top of the foam tape with the adhesive exposed and sealed up my card. Make sure to put a piece of acetate over you little peep window!

For the sentiment, I used the new Simply Sentimental: Easter Coordinating Die along with the Simply Sentimental: Happy Coordinating Die Set.  I used the same color of cardstock that I used for the rest of the card so it would be too busy.

For the sentiment on the inside of the card, I used the new Simply Sentimental:Easter Stamp Set with a pretty purple ink.  I decorated the inside with one of the peeps from the set and a little bit of left over inked paper at the bottom.  

This turned out to be a really cute card don't you think?

Thank you for stopping by today.
