Shaker Cards – Taniesa Vlasak

Hi Crafty Friends!!

The Honey Bee Stamps Holiday Release is now available in the store. To celebrate the new release, we are having the Season’s Tweetings Blog Hop. So please get comfy and hop along with us!

Forgive me for the short blog post today as I just had surgery on my right hand (makes typing a bit more difficult than I thought it would). I do have a few projects I completed using the new Honey Bee Stamps Holiday release that I hope will inspire you.

This first project uses the new Come Let us adore him stamp and new rainbow crystal embellishments.

This next project features the Large Ornament and Snowglobe die!

The final card today is using the same large ornament and snow globe die but this time I made a shaker card filled with the new snow shaker mix and the cute little bird and snowbird from the Seasons Tweetings stamp set!

I hope you found these projects inspiring! All new products are available in the Honey Bee Stamps shop —–> Here! (affiliate links used at no cost to you. Thank you for supporting this blog!)

Be sure to visit each blog & leave a comment to be entered to win!!! We will be giving away a $50 gift card to the Honey Bee Stamps store. The winner will be posted on our blog Monday, November 13th.

For my project I wanted to do a little something different with the stamping. Did you know that if you own a foiling machine or laminator, you can actually foil your stamping work?

All you need to do is do your stamping with a very good black ink. Using a stamp positioner like the MISTI tool can really help. If you miss any spots in your stamping be sure to go over it with a marker or a fine tip pen.

Then take your stamped paper and photocopy onto cardstock using a toner based printer or photocopier. Your image is ready for foiling! Note: This should ONLY be for personal use due to copyright, do not share your photocopy images with others.

That is exactly what I did in my project below. You can see the aqua colored foil in the close up photo. I love how it shimmers right along with all the sequins in the shaker card.

I hope my little tip got your creative wheels-a-turnin’! I know that I want to foil ALL THE THINGS now! LOL.

I sure hope you had fun hopping along with us today for Honey Bee Stamps very first birthday blog hop.
