Stamperia New England Snowflake Shaker Cards: The Square Frame
Hello, Friends! Just a quick share today, as I am still playing catch up from the holidays. I have a couple of lovely Stamperia New England Snowflake Shaker Cards that were made as a special order in my ETSY shop. They turned out so nicely, I though I would let you take a peek, too.
These wintry blues are so dreamy paired up a snowflake frame from Renea Bouquets. HEre’s how the front of this card came together.
- First, create a 5 1/2″ square card base.
- Next mat a panel of New England paper on two different panels of blue cardstock.
- Next prepare the frame. Tap the frames with Versamark Embossing ink. Be generous.
- Now, heat emboss them with WOW Vintage Champagne Glitter Powder. The powder has little flecks of gold in it that creates a beautiful shabby chic finish on the frame
- Then, select a focal image that fits the inside dimensions of the shaker frame.
- Back the frame with clear cardstock and foam tape.
- Fill the cavity with a shaker mix of buttons, pearls, beads and sequins.
- Carefully line up the focal image over the foam tape and press in place to seal.
- Adhere in the center of the card.
- Attach small pearls to the center of each snowflake.
- Add ribbons and flowers.
Stamperia New England Snowflake Shaker Cards: The Round Frame
Here’s the round frame. Isn’t it lovely? I found a strip of chipboard snowflakes in my stash, so I added them to the mix along with a little tag and key, vintage buttons and beautiful bows and flowers.
The inside is simple, as requested in the special order. But I still managed to sneak a tea bag inside! You know me!
Winter has its own special beauty, and this paper collection really captures it so well. I hope I’ve shared some tips, tricks and ideas you can use in your next crafty adventure. If so, I’d love to hear from you in the comment section below.
