Cake Fancy Shaker Card

Cake Fancy Shaker Front

If you’ve looked closely at the 2024-2025 Annual Catalog, you’ve probably seen the shaker card on page 122. The sample uses the Clear Medium Envelopes to make a Quick & Easy shaker card front. I decided to tweak this idea a little for more dimension and we made this Cake Fancy Shaker Card in my monthly Stamp Class.

Cake Fancy Shaker Card

I know it’s hard to see in the picture, but we added three score lines with our Simply Scored Tool directly on the card front. These are just above the Designer Series Paper (DSP) for a little extra dimension.

We stamped the cake on a smaller panel and enclosed it in one of the Clear Medium envelopes, folded and taped the excess to the back of the panel (not too tightly or your shaker elements won’t move freely) and attached the shaker to our card front with Dimensionals.

To make the inside stamping a bit easier in class, I attached both the Birthday Wishes stamp and the ribbon with bow stamp to a single block so they could be inked and stamped at the same time without having to line them up perfectly each time.

We added a twine bow to the outside of the shaker panel with a couple of glue dots to finish this card.

We made this fun card in one of our monthly classes. This fold looks complicated, but it’s actually quite simple. Read on to see how we made this Circle Sayings Center Easel Card.

This card uses the Circle Sayings Bundle which comes with the Circle Sayings Stamp Set and the 2 3/8″ Circle Punch. We also used paper from the Delightfully Eclectic DSP (Designer Series Paper) pack.

Waves of the Ocean Collection

Waves of the Ocean Lead

Hello FAB followers, it’s the FAB Stampers here with another post for you. Today it’s Connie’s turn, and she is sharing a couple of cards made with the new Waves of the Ocean Collection.

Waves of the Ocean Collection

This is a brand-new collection of products, and they are beautiful. The Waves of Inspiration Bundle is an early release from the Annual Catalogue that will go live in May, and there are 3 other products in the collection that will only be available until May 2, and only while supplies last.

Waves of the Ocean Suite

Photos do not even begin to do justice to showing you how stunning the Designer Series Paper is. The colours are deep and vibrant and coordinate beautifully with the Blue Foils Specialty paper and the gorgeous Waves Rhinestone Basic Jewels. If you are at all fond of the colour blue, these are absolute must have products.

On to the Crafting!

I love the pelican stamp so want to make sure I used him on my cards. Here is the first card.

Waves of the Ocean Blue

A Few Details

To stamp the wave, I used Coastal Cabana, and inked up the whole stamp. Then I used a sponge dauber to add Pacific Point and Night of Navy highlights to the stamp.

Tips & Tricks

Make sure you start with your lightest colour of ink when doing this technique, and work to the darkest. That way you won’t contaminate your lighter ink pads with dark ink.
Also, make sure you “huff” on your stamp before you stamp it, to make sure the ink is nice and moist, and didn’t dry while you were adding additional colours with your sponge daubers.

I covered over the wave after I stamped it so the pelican on the posts would not cross into the water when I stamped it.

Waves of the Ocean 2

The second card shows off what may be considered the ‘back side’ of the Designer Series Paper, the side that isn’t blue.

This time I stamped my pelican on a scrap of Basic White and cut it out with the coordinating die. The clouds are also die cut, and I love that the dies include texture pieces to really make the clouds interesting.

I coloured the pelican with Light Grey Granite and SU700 Stampin’ Blend on both cards.

I hope you enjoyed these projects. Now, back to Jeanne!
