Hi
Again Stampers!
This
card was created for the Splitcoaststampers’ Virtual Stamp Night JUN15VSNF “Choose
Happiness” Challenge (see details here and gallery here) along with the SC539
Sketch Challenge (see details here and gallery here).
This
was the first shaker card that I ever created and it took the entire hour to
complete (and that was pushing it- lol!).
I love this retired stamp set and thought it would be perfect for a
shaker element :-)
Again,
if you have not visited the challenge sites yet, I hope you will find time to do
so- terrific Design Team designs and as well as their galleries!!
To
create this card:
Stamp
the bee image and sentiment from the retired set, Honey Bear using Stāz-On® Jet
Black Ink onto Whisper White cardstock (make sure you position to leave room for
the die cuts).
Color
the images using Stampin’ Write markers- Bear’s Fur and Bee Suit: Daffodil
Delight, Delightful Dijon, Crumb Cake, Baked Brown Sugar, Basic Black;
Sentiment and Honey Jar: Melon Mambo, Bermuda Bay, Sahara Sand, Delightful Dijon, Daffodil Delight.
Cut
the images out with the Big Shot™ along with the MFT Stitched Circle STAX Die
and cut a larger stitched circle from Basic Black for the frame on the bear.
Emboss
a piece of Bermuda Bay cardstock using the Honeycomb Textured Impressions™
Embossing Folder (I still had a bit of Delightful Dijon ink on the interior of my
folder from the last card).
Decide
where you would like the sentiment shaker element to be positioned and punch
out a hole with the 1 ¾” Circle Punch.
Dry-fit
the bear with the frame and use the 1 ¾" Circle Punch to cut out a notch to fit around the treat cup.
Cut
a strip of retired Botanical Gazette Designer Series Paper (DSP) and mount onto
Basic Black cardstock (also punching part of a circle to fit around the treat
cup).
Add
the retired In-Color Sequins to the treat cup, adhere the sentiment to the
back, insert the treat cup into the opening and mount the Bermuda Bay layer
onto the Basic Black card base.
Add
the Botanical Gazette DSP layer and adhere the bee circle with the frame to the
card front.
Use
a Sponge Dauber with the Mini Punchenella Stencil to carefully add the
Delightful Dijon Classic Ink through the honeycomb part of the stencil.
Use
the 1 ¾” Circle Punch to punch out a 1 ¾”
Circle from Basic Black cardstock and position the 2” Circle Punch over the
opening (created by the 1 ¾” Circle Punch in the piece of cardstock) and punch
out the 2 “ Circle to create the black ring- adhere to the outside of the treat
cup.

Mount
a scrap strip of Basic Black cardstock to mimic ribbon and add the triple
ribbon bow (Black Organdy) along with the retired More Mustard button to finish
off the card.
