Hey there, it’s Kathleen back with you and today I have a set of cards to share with you.
If you remember my first blog post as part of the Tonic Design Team, you will know that I absolutely love creating shaker elements and cards. You can also check out the last project I shared on the blog here.
So for today, I wanted to give you some more inspiration for creating shaker cards and this time, step up the bling factor!
How to make these cards
- Use a blending sponge to blend two ink colors onto a piece of Ultra Smooth White Cardstock.
- With a Media Spatula, apply Moonstone Glimmer Paste evenly across the whole panel and let dry.
- Use a shape die to cut out a window on the panel (you don’t have to use a heart).
- Adhere a piece of acetate behind the window.
- Place a mix of sequins in the center of your card base. Make sure to check out all the glitter and sequins options in the Tonic shop.
- Using foam adhesive, adhere the panel with the acetate window to the card base (you might want to double up the foam pads)
- Die cut a sentiment from some mirror card and attach with Deluxe Adhesive (because of the texture of the glimmer paste panel, regular glue may not be strong enough)
On the pink card I blended Pink Sherbet and Panama Rose from the Tropical Fruits and Rose Garden sets, and on the other one I used Polar Ice and Moroccan Teal (from the Sea Siren and Merry & Bright sets). Depending on the die and the colors of ink and sequins you use, you can adapt these cards to whatever theme you need. For a more general and neutral look, I used a “hi” sentiment die from my stash together with the Silver Rain sequins.
And another tip: Make sure to keep the piece that you cut out of the glimmer paste panel! You can easily use this to create another card! Or maybe use it as a gift tag. So many possibilities.
I hope you like these cards and will try this idea!
Thanks a lot for stopping by!
Xo, Kathleen
