Easter Basket Add On

Hello!  Today I have a shaker card that I created with three of Trinity Stamps new dies.  I have been thoroughly enjoying all the different ways to used these dies.  

To start this card, I cut the cardbase from a piece of double sided patterned paper using the Egg Shaped Card Die Set.  I like using that type of patterned paper because the inside is just as pretty as the outside.

To make the well for the shaker bits, using the Easter Basket Add-on die, I cut both the top and the bottom of the basket eight times.  I prefer to use 110lb white cardstock because I am able to build a deep well quicker.  Once I have my pieces glued together, I glued them to the card base.

I sprinkled some Pool, Bubblegum and Honey Dew Sparkle Spots in the well.  I cut a piece of acetate using the second largest die in the Egg Shape Card Die Set and sealed the shaker spots in by using liquid glue.  

I used the dies again to cut the basket out of a dark turquoise cardstock.  I dusted the edges of the basket and handle with Mermaid Lagoon Distress Oxide Ink.  For the piece that is the "inside" of the basket, I made sure to apply enough ink so that it was darker.

For the large sentiment on the front of the card, I decided to use the Happy Easter Egg Add-On die.  I cut the sentiment off the egg frame.  I cut it out of pink and orange cardstock.  I like to create a show on my lettering by offsetting the two letters.  

I used the dies from the Easter Basket Add-on to cut out a variety of flowers, leaves from different colors of scrap cardstock.  I also use the die to cut out a bow for the top of the basket.  I glued them at the bottom of the basket and at the top.

For the inside of the card, I cut out another egg from white cardstock.  I used the Simply Sentimental-Easter to stamp the sentiment.  

I am pretty please with the way this card turned out.  I love the patterned paper on the inside and the egg shape of the card.  I am linking to my YouTube Video process video if you want follow along.

Happy Easter Egg Add-On Die Set

 

Woo Hoo!  It's release day at Trinity Stamps!  Let's get started on those Easter cards!  In the next days, I will be sharing a few cards using a combination of the Egg Shaped Card Die Set along with the Happy Easter Add-on and Easter Basket Add- On.  This card is a combination of those three die sets along with the new Peep Trio and older Peep Show Die Sets.  I have a process video on YouTube if you want to follow along.

The first thing I did for this card was start to construct the well for the shaker bits.  To do this, I used the egg shape from the Happy Easter Add-on and the largest egg shape from the Egg Shaped Card Die Set.  To create the frame to hold the bits, I used mint tape to hold the two die cuts together and then cut the frame out eight times.  I glued all the frames together and set them aside.

I used the largest egg shaped die from the Egg Shaped Card Die Set to cut out the egg that goes in the center of the shaker well.  I centered and glued the pieces on a piece of patterned paper cut to 5.5" x 5.5".  I added some Green Gleam Chunky Shreds and some Dot Dot Hooray Confetti Mix to the well and sealed it up with a piece of acetate cut with the largest egg from the Happy Easter Egg Add-on.

I used the die from the Happy Easter Egg Add-on to cut out the large sentiment on the card.  I used the Outdoor Borders and Scene Builder Slimline Die Set to cut out two pieces of green cardstock with the grass die from the set.  I cut one from a medium green cardstock and one of a lighter green cardstock.  I dusted the edges of the cardstock with a little of Rustic Wilderness Distress Oxide Ink.

Using the new Peep Trio Die Set, I cut two bunnies from pink card stock and dusted them with Kitsch Flamingo Distress Oxide Ink. I used the dies from the Peep Show Die Set, to cut out the bunnies from Yellow and Purple cardstock.  I dusted the edges with Mustard See and Wilted Violet Distress Oxide Ink respectively.  The tiny white eggs and the bow at the top of the egg are cut from are the Easter Baske.t Add-on  I arranged the little bunnies and grass at the bottom of the card and the bow at the top of the egg, and glued them on.

I used the Peep Show Stamp Set for the sentiment on the front of the card and cut it out with the Coordinating Dies.

To finish up the front of the card I added some White, Watermelon and Ultramarine Sparkle Spots Confetti Embellishments.

I cut a piece of pink cardstock 5.5" x 11.0", scored it at 5.5".  I folded it at the score line to create my card base.  I used the Simply Sentimental- Easter Stamp Set to stamp the inside sentiment on a piece of white cardstock cut to 5.25" x 5.25".  I glued the stamped cardstock to the inside of the card.  

I think this card is darling and I think it would definitely put a smile on someone's face!

Thank you for stopping by today!

#306 Craft Roulette - 5-Star Rating by Trinity Stamps

Hello!  I got a chance today to play along with the current Craft Roulette Challenge #306.  I was tickled by the "chalkboard element".  Now, I am not old enough to remember "blackboards" but I am definitely old enough to remember the chalkboards being green. Not to totally date myself, but I don't even think that whiteboards were even a thing when I was in school.  Yikes - where did the time go?

The parameters for the challenge are:

• Project - A7 card
• Element - Chalkboard
• Colors - Summer Desserts
• Random - Bottom Border

I don't make A-7 cards very often, so I always am amazed at the amount of room that I have to work with.  

The lettering on the chalkboard is heat embossed with white embossing powder.  The stamp set is a new Trinity Stamps Stamp Set called 5-Star Rating. The other parts of the sentiment are heat embossed with black embossing powder.  

As far as the "colors" parameter, I always think of Lemon Meringue pie for a summer dessert.  Yum!

To make the border at the bottom of my card, I used the 5-Star Rating Coordinating Die Set to cut out the stars.  To be honest, I totally forgot about the "random" parameter until I was done with the card, so I really lucked out with the die set since it was already on my desk.

I used the Simply Sentimental: Teacher Coordinating Die Set for the sentiment on the front of the card.

For the inside of the card I used the Simply Sentimental: Teacher Stamp Set for the sentiment.

To finish up the card, I used Gold Sparkle Stars to fill in the stars on the rating and to also embellish the card.  

I am just tickled with this card.  I may have to stash this card until I have a grandchild that needs one.

Thank you for stopping by today!
