Hello everyone!
I was SUPER inspired by a recent card made by Nina-Marie Trapani - she has it posted HERE on the Simon Says Stamp blog (with a video) and you can check out her blog HERE if you don't follow her already!
I recently ordered a bunch of Tonic's Flat Shaker Pockets - they come in A2 size, 5x7" size, 6x6" size and slimline size (so I got a pack of each). I didn't use these today but I have them for future projects and ideas. That said, I watched Nina's video and it was BRILLIANT. So I pulled out some of my packaging (I'm pretty sure mine was from a recent order of slimline envelopes) and made a couple of flat shaker cards:
I stamped Simon's Delicate Outline Flowers background stamp onto some Smooth White card stock using Simon's Intense Black Ink. I then blended several colors of Simon's inks over it to get the rainbow of colors you see on the finished cards.
After creating the shaker portion I filled it with a variety of Studio Katia chunky glitters and confetti. I am LOVING - LOOOVVVIIINNNGGG - how easy this is to make and yes - FLAT! I love shaker cards and love making them but sometimes mailing them can get tricky because of the dimension and bulk (which I don't mind but it just means I don't make them as often YKWIM?).
For the main sentiment I used the CZ Design Thanks wafer die set and stacked multiple layers of the word die cut to give it some dimension.
The insides of the cards turned out SO fun - I decided to try inking up the Delicate Outline Flowers background with all the inks I used for the blending on the card front panels. It turned out so fun and colorful and just tied it all together! I finished off the cards with sentiments from the Thanks Sentiment Strips pack and that was it!
