We had fun during the holidays making a shaker card so I thought I would try one for spring!
For this card I used the following materials:
Stamp Pads: Cucumber Crush and Delightful Dijon
Washi Tape (no longer available but others you could use the In Color Washi Tape #140582)
Timeless Textures Stamp Set #140517
Perfect Pairings Stamp Set from Sale-A-Bration catalog
A square of Cucumber Crush from the Designer Paper Pack #138439
Window Sheet #142314
Butterflies Thinlits Die #137360
The card base is using Whisper White paper/
The shaker innards are leftovers from the holidays but are basically glitter and stars.
The main ingredient in this card are 3D foam strips. Stampin' Up doesn't sell them but they are available in any craft store and Amazon. Just do a search for Foam Tape.
Here is a link to to the time lapse video. Let me know what you think!
Typically I don't purchase many holiday stamp sets. However being a demonstrator this year I did. Being the frugal person that I am, I've been trying to use these sets for other occasions.
I have a special fondness for cardinals. Their bright red color just stands out among the starkness of winter's lack of foliage. Plus moving from Virginia to Tennessee they have significant meaning.
In our TN home we have a couple that frequents our bird feeder. The girl is especially beautiful in her muted browns and orange. She inspired the card below.
I recently refilled the feeder and she is back. I'm hoping to capture a picture of her but she seems to be a bit more skittish than the other birds.
Another card mixing old with new. I mixed the whale from the retired Fox and Friends set with new elements. I like this striped scallop die for the big shot. A little tricky to work with but worth it (I think).
I love working old and new together. I do it in my home decor and now in my card making! A little something from Fox and Friends retired set along with the Hardwood background stamp and Perfect Pairings sentiments.
One of the nice bonuses to Stampin' Up designer paper is the fact it is double sided. To take advantage of this I created this card with a fun fold to show off the other side of the paper.
Below is a list of the ingredients to make this card along with step by step and a video. I think you get such a great bang for you buck on the Botanical Builder bundle. It is item # 140819 and a total of $51.75. The price also allows you to get a free item of your choice during Sale-A-Bration time!
So you can really maximize that $.
Hope you enjoy this card!

I love seeing colors used together that I wouldn't normally put together myself. The Botanical Designer Paper in the new Occasions Catalog does just that. Below you will find one card my club did using this stamp set and matching designer paper. The Botanical line combines one of my favorite greens Mossy Meadow (the other fav is Wild Wasabi), Hello Honey and an unexpected Cajun Craze. I hadn't really looked at this color much until now. Feel free to message me and I can pull together a kit for you to make this card!
