Stamp Off Snailed It Shaker Card


 Hi friends!  Welcome to another Stamp Off Challenge
with Susan, Buffy and I.  Our challenge today is to
make a shaker card.


For my shaker card, it had to feature the Snailed It stamp set
with coordinating Snail Dies on page 55 of the 
Jan-June 2021 Mini Catalog.  There is nothing happier than
a snail pulling a happy birthday banner, created with the
Art Gallery stamp set, with coordinating Floral Gallery Dies
(page 34).   I think that the Ice Cream Corner Sprinkles on 
page 49 work perfectly for a shaker card.  They don't stick
to the paper surface and rattle around quite nicely when
you shake the card.

The Sale-a-bration Oh So Ombre DSP layer was stuffed into a
Medium Clear envelop (annual catalog, page 153), along
with a collection of the Sprinkles.  Then extra envelop, hanging over the edges of the DSP was taped down on the back.

From there, I simply created the snail and colored him with 
Stampin' Blends to go with the sprinkles. I added the 
birthday banner, and attached them to the 
outside of the shaker card. 

I know that you are going to LOVE Buffy and Susan's
shaker cards, so click on their names to see their offerings.

Art Gallery Set with Floral Garden Dies


 This year, we have some really pleasant choices from the SAB
(Sale-a-bration) brochure.  
Bonus, is that SAB comes twice this year!  

This card uses the FREE SAB Berry Delightful DSP on
page 14.  I paired this DSP with the Art Gallery set and
Floral Gallery Dies on page 34 of the Jan-June 2021 catalog.
I cut the sentiment out of the Berry Delightful DSP and then
added Garden Green to the negative space, to emphasize it.  
The "thank you" was created and cut out with the 
coordinating Art Gallery Bundle.


The is the other "half" of the card above.  For this card,
I took the cut out sentiment (positive component), and 
added it to the card front.  I used components of the Art Gallery
stamp set and Floral Gallery Dies (page 34) to create the accompanying flower and sentiment.

Lacy Petals Dies with Gilded Leafing


 It is hard to take a picture of this card, because it
exudes sparkle (thanks to the Gilded Leafing Embellishment,
page 33, that Susan and Buffy convinced me to buy).  For
the sparkle, I just dragged VersaMark across my card base,
sprinkled with Heat and Stick, heated and then 
dipped into the Gilded Leafing.

Once the card base was ready, I added my flower, created
with the Lacy Petals Dies on page 57.   I really love these
dies because you can create a variety of different flower
forms with the dies.  You receive duplicates of some of
the dies, so that you can make the flower more quickly.

I used the sentiment from the coordinating 
Delicate Petals photopolymer set.

SAB Berry Blessings with Berry Delightful DSP


 SALE-a-bration is the best time of year, and now it is
an event that happens twice a year!

This card utilizes product from the 2021 SAB brochure;
Berry Blessings Stamp set with coordinating Berry Delightful
Designer Series Paper (page 14).  The paper is wonderful,
whether you use the berry side, or the patterned side of
the paper.  These FREE (with product purchase) products
enable creation of quick, vibrant cards.

Snailed It with Snail Dies


 Snails.... I love the Snailed It set on
page 55 of the January-June 2021 Mini catalog.
They are great fun to color with Stampin' Blends, and
then cut out with the Snail Dies.  I enjoy any image
that smiles back at me. The rectangle dies is also part 
of the Snail Dies, working perfectly behind the snails.   
The free Oh So Ombre DSP (page 7 in the SAB catalog) 
is a lovely background layer behind the snails.
