1. I die cut a rectangle from a piece of white cardstock.
2. I used red and orange ink, and an ink blender tool to blend ink on the entire panel.
3. I die cut a circle towards to upper part of the ink blended panel.
4. I played the ink blended panel on top of another piece of white cardstock, and then lightly traced around the inside of the cut out circle with a pencil, so I could use it as a guide for my stamping.  I set aside the ink blended panel to work on the white cardstock.  
5. I stamped the medium birthday circle sentiment with yellow/orange ombre ink inside the traced circle.  Then, I carefully erased the pencil traced circle. 
6. I stamped three of the floral images, and some leaves from the Flower Patch stamp set inside the birthday circle sentiment with Memento tuxedo black ink.   
7. I colored in the images with markers, and added some red dots for berries.  
8. I added some foam tape to the ink blended panel.  I carefully aligned the circle opening with the stamped images on the white cardstock, and adhered the 2 pieces together.
9. I glued the entire thing to a white card base.
10. To finish off my card, I added a piece of natural twine.  I thought it went really well with the flowers.  

1. I die cut a tag from a piece of heavy weight white card stock.
2. I stamped the party hat/cupcake panda image from the clear stamp set multiple times on the tag.
3. Using water color markers, I colored the hat and cupcakes.
4. I die cut another tag from a piece of patterned paper, and then glued the 2 tags together. 
5. I used some pink & white twine to finish off my tag.

Hello DeNami Friends!

Today I want to show you three birthday shaker cards made in three different colors. I started off die cutting a frame out of either pink, orange or red card stock as well as a rectangle that would fit perfectly in the frame out of white card stock. To create the shaker window I used another die that cut this beautiful wavy frame. Again, I die cut it from the three different colors.




Using scotch tape, I nested the wavy frame into its negative space and adhered it at the back of the white panel. I also cut a piece of acetate which was large enough to cover the window and glued it behind the frame. I also wanted to include a sentiment and what would be better than "celebrating you". Again, depending on the color of the card, I chose a matching ink to stamp the sentiment below the wavy frame.


To create the needed dimension for the shaker material, I used a few layers of foam tape. Luckily, I had some balloon confetti lying around which was just perfect for these cards.
To assemble the card I first adhered the outer frame to a standard note card, placed a few of the balloons in the area where the shaker window would be and then adhered down the white shaker panel.


Last but not least I included this cute little owl holding a balloon. I stamped him on mix media card stock using a black hybrid ink because I wanted to color him in with watercolor brush pens. After the coloring was done, I adhered him next to the sentiment using glue dots.
