Here are my cards for the challenge inspiration :). I used Darling Ribbon and Dotted Frames Dies from Studio Katia



To bein the first card, I cut a piece of Bristol Paper with 4.25×5.5inch, ink blended it with Distress Oxide Inks : Abandoned Coral, Worn Lipstick, Squeezed Lemonade, Fossilized Amber and Ripe Persimmon. Next I diecut the panel with Dotted Frames Dies .




I pulled out a piece of A2 size white cardstock, and placed previous diecut frames on it to make sure that they are in right position, then I adhered the center panel as it is.



In turn, I stamped a sentiment from Birthday Borders using Versafine Onyx Black Ink, then I placed sequins, jewels and Seed beads on the center panel. To assemble a shaker, I adhered an acetate film on the back of outer frame, then I foam mounted it over the center panel carefully.



Shaker elements I used are Sparkling Clear Sequins Mix, Ballerina Pink, Strawberry BurstRaspberry, Marigold, Ivory Jewel, and Seed Beads (Sparkling Clear, Gold Shimmer, Blush, Cotton Candy, Rose Pink) .

I stamped a bundle of candles from Birthday Borders on 80lb Neenah White, colored it using copic markers and cut it using Birthday Borders Dies.


Finally, I foam mounted candles diecut onto the shaker window and adhered a silver ribbon diecut made of Simon Silver Glitter Card Stock.



My second card was made in Clean and Simple design. I cut Neenah Texture White paper using the same Darling Ribbon and Dotted Frames Dies, then I adhered the two diecuts with dimension. I love the elegant  texture surface of Neenah Texture paper set, which I can't capture 100% on my photo.



I added the same image and sentiment from Birthday Borders set, and the ribbon diecut was made of Simon Gold Glitter Card Stock. To keep our challenge theme Bling It On, I added some Metallic Gold Jewels here and there.

  1. Hi, Marge! Both of your cards are beautiful. I love the bow of the top of each. My favorite one is the pink and yellow one just because I love these colors together. Great artwork, Marge!

  2. Oh my, the texture on the white! I love both the cards you made but I absolutely love the white one! The glitter bow looks so so pretty! :D I am seeing so many shakers this time! Have a lovely day! xx Ankita P.S. I heard the song by Cole Porter. It was so mesmerising and I also look forward to watching the movie De-Lovely when I have some time on my hands :) Thank you so much for the reference! Even my daughter enjoyed the song and she is just 2.5 years old.

  4. These are both gorgeous!! I absolutely love that die. I've had it on my wishlist for months now, I wish I would've gotten it for this challenge. You've done such a lovely job making 2 different styles of cards with the same die. Love the beautiful colors on the shaker card and the elegance of the twine and gold on 2nd card.
