Shaker cards - Christmas - Twitchit Craft Kits

Shaker cards – made by Toni Herron for Twitchit Craft Kits

Christmas Traditional Kit 

Shaker Box - Ornaments 4.1/2”x6.1/2” + Holiday Florals 4.1/2”x6.1/2”. Score around each edge at 1/4 “.  

Cut a 1” frame from the Baubles pattern paper and add Acetate to the inside to create a window. This will become the front of your card.  Ink all edges with a Red ink.  Add a sentiment piece to the middle of the red pattern piece.
Use both pieces and glue 3 sides together. Add shaker bling / confetti into the forth side before sticking together also. *tip- to secure the box sides while drying, I wrapped some washi tape across the box to hold it all together.  Add another sentiment to the front of the card. I used a “Christmas” fussy cut label from the bonus mystery sheets that came in the kit.

Using leftover Ornaments pattern paper I have added a flap card to the back. This was about 1/2" short, so added washi tape over the exposed piece to hide the gap.  When you wish to write your personalised Christmas note, please add in your own white cardstock. I would recommend one measuring 1” smaller as this will match up with the 1” frame on the front.  

PROJECT TWO: Starting with a plain cardstock 4”x12” - Fold this in half to make a normal base at 6”x4”.

Shaker card topper – Holiday Floral 5.3/4”x3.3/4” + Ornaments 5.1/2”x3.1/2”.
I distressed and inked all edges on this card.  Using a circle cutter / metal die / traced cup – Cut out a centre piece and add Acetate to the back to create a window. Use doubled foam tape or some sort of 3D pops around the circle on the backside of the acetate.  Add the foam tape to the edges of the Bauble paper.  *tip- I lay this topper facing down to add the shaker bling / confetti to the middle of the circle. I then add the red pattern piece carefully on top, paying close attention to keeping my layers neat. Then flip over and your card topper is ready to stick to the plain card base.  Now add any sentiments or embellishment clusters to the front of the card window.

SMILE

Over the past 6 months or so, I have been very lucky to have been allowed to facebook stark a few family and friends for their photos... I have loved being able to use them, that it's given me a fresh joy and spark with my crafting.. 

This layout features my cousin and her little girl.. 

Paper from the "my secret love" collection by Couture Creation..
The ribbon diecut come ready cut from Cut For You, I added the pattern paper behind it..

First I cut the boarder pattern paper and cut a hole from the white cardstock that won't be seen, so I can use it for layering..
I used the next layer on top of the pp and again, cut a hole from both pp and cardstock that won't be seen.. more layering... lots of simple layering!

I used the ribbon cut to judge where the ink sploshes would look best behind the cut... I actually have one glued on the bottom, and the second set popped up with some foam tape..
The pretty pink paper under the photo is actually the opposite side of the leafy paper.. :)

Using the hot pink glitter alphas and dots for the center of the ribbons, I was able to capture that bright brilliant colour in the mood board..

What do you think?

 Thank you very much for joining me today and I'm so excited to be able to share with you all the creations for the Lasting Memories Design Team! 

I really hope that you will drop by the blog and check out the inspiration from the rest of the team members and then get creative to link up your own entry.. 

Thanks again, Toni.. xoxo

Easel card – Christmas - Twitchit Craft Kits

 

Easel card – made by Toni Herron for Twitchit Craft Kits

Christmas Traditional Kit

**view youtube video here** 

Starting with a plain cardstock 12”x4” - Fold this in half to make a normal card base at 6”x4”.

Then fold the top flap in half again. Your card topper will be glued to the front piece of the mountain.

 

 Card Topper - Berry Christmas 6”x4” + Holly Berries 5.3/4 “x 3.3/4 “ + Red/Green 4”x3.1/8” + Sentiment

This topper is assembled with layers and matting in two parts. The polka dot base of the card topper first, with the tree pattern piece on top. Using foam tape as the divider, the top part has a red base with the fussy cut sentiment from the Bonus Mystery sheets provided in the kit. 

Using a piece of off-cut attach a small piece of Red/ Green 4”x3” to the back of the card.

Inside card – Berry Christmas 6”x4” + Red/Green 3.3/4”x1.1/2” + Holly Berries 3.3/4”x3.3/4” + White flap  

                   with personal message 3.3/4”x7.1/2”

The inside of this card has been made with three parts. First is the polka dot base. Next using a long piece of white card stock, fold it in half and attach tree pattern paper. This will stick towards the top. Leaving a gap down the bottom for a small piece of Red paper, use foam tape to pop it off the card and attach some stickers for a cluster embellishment. To make the card sit in an Easel position, simply slide the topper between the two bottom layers.

LASTING MEMORIES LAYOUT CHALLENGES 

sweet

I have had such fun with the challenges lately, again I've decided to jump in with other DT members to create this weeks challenge also cause I love this mood board feel soooo much!!

This beautiful sweet little girl, eating this sweet icecream is my cousins little girl... She is adorable and perfect for this paper collection.. 

I wanted to keep the feeling of this layout quite classic in it's design, so only added white, soft pink and gold elements to it... Although, I did add a soft aqua doily to the layers to blend in the colours..

The Memory Maze chipboard title piece has been inked with Gold and the golden glitter paper arrows from a Kaiser diecut..
Prima and Kaiser flowers, a beautiful feather and leaf die cuts make up the clusters..
Some ink sploshes and bling dots finish off the page..

White With One - Caramel Latte

It's definitely warming up here in Australia, but it's always the perfect time for coffee and some natural fibers.. 
This months mood board looks fabulous and I know you'll have a blast looking though the DT inspiration so much that you'll want to get started on your own layout asap.. 
Caramel Latte is a soft but strong colour, it very reminds me of the outback at the end of the day.. LOVE IT! 

 

WHITE WITH ONE - CHALLENGE BLOG

2019

Using a really fun cut out from Scrapbook Fantasies, I created this page with this as the design point.. 

I found some pattern paper and cardstock that matched the Caramel Latte colour perfectly, along with some Caramel alcohol ink too.. 

Making the back of the layout I actually found quite a relaxing experience!
I usually get a little stressed with these dies as the fussy cutting makes me twitch a little, lol.. But cause this was all straight lined, I loved it!!!!

Taking full advantage of the very small amount of black we are allowed to use, I drew a couple of lines, inked the title and lightly rubbed some on the base with the blending brush.. 

The photo is of my boys with The Flash character at Movie World in December 2019 over the school holidays..

Lasting Memories 521 - Monsters

#521 - Monsters

  Monsters- Did you know that October 25th was originally called Frankenstein Friday? Frankenstein was created in a lab by a mad scientist and is one of my all time favorite Halloween monsters. So I thought it would be fun to create a layout with some sort of monster on it. Whether it is your kid dressed up as one or a sticker you use.

LASTING MEMORIES LAYOUT CHALLENGES 

my little monsters

After speaking to some crafty friends about their reluctance to join online challenges because they are often concerned their entry "won’t be good enough”, I wanted to make a DT layout that is as simple as it comes.. cardstock base sprayed with some mist + grey mat with pattern paper on top and over on the side + some netting + more mats & photo + finished with alpha stickers for a title. PLEASE know that there is no such thing as “not good enough”.. Scrapping should be fun, a passion, a hobby! Please don’t be intimidated, come along and join us! 

My Little Monsters features a fun photo of my boys dressed up for Halloween.. I'm not 100% sure, but will guess about 5 years ago..

Lasting Memories 520 - Pumpkin Spice

520 - Pumpkin Spice

- Pumpkin Spice- Pumpkins, Pumpkins everywhere. You can find Pumpkin Spice in just about anything! So this week let's create a layout with a pumpkin on it and and some glitter somewhere to represent that spice!!

LASTING MEMORIES LAYOUT CHALLENGES 

Halloween

I will admit that as a DT I did struggle with this one.. In Australia, a minority join in the Halloween celebrations and we simply just don't do the pumpkin thing! 

So I was actually about to pass on this challenge and leave it up to my fellow DT members, but when I found these 2 pieces of very very old Graphic 45 papers hiding in my stash, I knew it would be perfect!! 

Although, I did chose to not use a photo on this layout, I have enough scraps leftover that I can make a second page for a double layout which I will be able to add photos to if I ever had the right one's.. 

This design was loads of fun and had plenty of "just wing it" as I went along.. lol

Layers and layers of black and white really make the orange and green POP!

For the spice element, I added some micro beads to either side of the center block and some glitter to the hanging pumpkins.. 

What do you think?
