Hi Stampers!
Welcome to week three of TINSEL TIME TUESDAY. Today’s card features the PENGUIN PLACE BUNDLE (Stampin’ Up!®️ July-December 2021 Mini Catalog), and PENGUIN PLAYMATES DSP - free with a $50 Stampin’ Up! Product purchase during SALEA-BRATION (now through 30 September).
When I first saw this bundle I immediately thought “shaker card.” I was so excited to see the SUBTLE SHIMMER SEQUINS in the mini catalog, because they would be perfect for the shaker card idea I had floating around inside my head. Well, the other day I realized I had not ordered the sequins! What to do? What to do? I needed something to put inside my shaker card; something that resembled snow. Where I live we are right in the middle of canning season, and I have been very busy canning all matter of tomato products. All the recipes require canning/pickling salt, and using all that canning salt lead me to consider salt for snow in my shaker card - specifically coarse sea salt! The crystals are the perfect size and the salt has a natural shimmer and shine. Here is a look at the shaker card:
And here is the stamp set:
SUPPLIES FOR THIS CARD:
* Penguin Place Bundle (stamp set and Penguin Builder Punch)
* Paper Snips (scissors)
* Stitched Snowflakes Dies
* Stitched Rectangles Dies - one that measures 2 3/4” x 4” (cuts a rectangle that measures 2 5/8” x 3 8/8”), and the die two sizes smaller
* Soft Sea Foam card base and scrap of Soft Sea Foam cardstock die cut with the largest of the two Stitched Rectangle Dies
* Striped patterned DSP cut at 5 1/4” x 4”, the tree patterned DSP die cut with both of the Stitched Rectangle Dies to make a frame - you will need the center of the frame as well, and a scrap of DSP containing the tree image
* Scraps of Mango Melody and Basic White
* Basic White cardstock cut at 5 1/4” x 4” for the inside of the card
* Window Sheet cut at 3 7/8” x 2 5/8”
* Inks - Mango Melody, Just Jade, Soft Sea Foam, Misty Moonlight, Memento Tuxedo Black, Early Espresso Stampin’ Write Marker, and Soft Sea Foam Stampin’ Blend (dark)
* About 22” of white crinkled seam binding ribbon that will be dyed with the Stampin’ Blend marker
* Foam Adhesive Strips
* Coarse sea salt
* Stampin’Seal or adhesive of choice
* Glue Dots
* Strong Adhesive such as Tear & Tape or Stampin’ Seal+
ASSEMBLY
*Stamp the penguin image with Tuxedo Black ink, stamp the beak with Mango Melody, use the Just Jade ink to stamp the hat and scarf
* Die cut the snowflake shape and stamp the greeting with Misty Moonlight
* Punch out the penguin and punch out two penguin feet from the Mango Melody cardstock scrap.
* Fussy cut the hat and scarf.
* Fussy cut the tree image from the DSP
* Place the frame on top of the Soft Sea Foam die cut rectangle. Use it as a guide to adhere the center piece cut from the frame to the cardstock. Put adhesive on the back of the frame and attach the window sheet.
* This what you should have; the frame with a window sheet and cardstock with the DSP in the center
* Place 1/2” to 1” teaspoon of the sea salt in the center of the DSP adhere to the cardstock. If you have some sequins or small clear or white gems, you can add a few of them as well.
* This is what you should have at this point.
*Place the frame on top of the cardstock and salt. Press along the frame to make sure the adhesive strips make good contact with the cardstock
* Adhere the striped DSP to the card base
* Put Stampin’ Seal+ or Tear & Tape on the back side of the shaker box, and adhere to the center of the card
* Assemble the penguin - I used glue dots to adhere the feet, hat, scarf, and tree to the penguin
* Use adhesive of choice to adhere the penguin and the “snowflake greeting” to the card
* On the 5 1/4” x 4” stamp the sentiment in Misty Moonlight
* Ink the tree stamp with Soft Sea Foam, use the Early Espresso Stampin’ Write Marker and ink the tree trunk
* Stamp two trees, one on each side of the sentiment.
* Adhere this piece to the inside of the card
* Use the Soft Sea Foam Stampin’ Blend (dark) to dye the white Crinkled Seam binding Ribbon
* Wrap the ribbon around the card and tie in a bow to finish the card
Here is the card and a version using Fresh Freesia instead of Soft Sea Foam. The Fresh Freesia version’s shaker element is just the salt. The greeting is stamped with Just Jade.
OTHER SHAKER ELEMENTS OPTIONS
* If you have course Kosher salt, it is a good replacement for the sea salt
* The SUBTLE SHIMMER SEQUINS would look great - remember to order them!
* FROM MY HEART FACETED GEMS (Annual Catalog) - white ones
* SEQUINS FOR EVERYTHING (Annual Catalog) - some of the metallic ones
* Seed Beads
* Glitter
For this version of the card I used some random sequins and gems. I substituted white Baker’s twine for the ribbon, and used a different sentiment.
I hope you will give this “salt shaker” card a try! Join me next week when Tinsel Time Tuesday features the STARS ARE SHINING BUNDLE.
Thanks for stopping by. Until next time…
Stamp Happy!
