My Scrapbooking Blog

Welcome to our Technique Blog Hop!  This month we are highlighting Shaker Thin Cuts. This blog hop is a great big circle so you can start wherever you want and continue through to see all the fabulous artwork incorporating this technique.  If you are coming from Debi McBain Blog, you are on the right track!

It was so much fun using some new products to create this card. I was disappointed when the thin cuts for this stamp set sold out but it really isn’t hard at all to fussy cut. I will mention that you do not need much “filler” in a shaker card like this where there is a sentiment underneath. I used pieces from the Loose Sequins to embellish my card.

Supply List: Thin Cuts – Shaker Window & Confetti, Shaker Window Foam & Acetate, Wonder of the Season stamp set, Carmine ShinHan Marker, Sap Green ShinHan Marker, Almond Cardstock, Intense Black Ink Pad, Gold Sequin Ribbon, Gold Loose Sequins, Tis the Season Paper Packet, and White Card & Envelopes.

Thanks for stopping by!  Please continue onto Michelle Johns’ Blog where you will find some additional artwork highlighting this technique!  Be sure to leave a comment and let me know what you thought of my variation and happy hopping!

To create the stamped tree on this card, I inked the leaves in the lightest color (Saffron), then added other ink colors to the stamp with sponge daubers before stamping. I just love the variation of fall colors that can be created with this technique.

Products used are all Close to My Heart: Thanks & Giving stamp set, Inks (Fern, Saffron, Almond, Toffee, Cranberry), Cardstock (Fern, Almond), Vellum, and Gold Glitter Gems.

Here is a layout created with all stamping, it’s a great way to get the most out of your stamps. Everything is stamped – the background paper, border, and title! I created the background by random stamping the leaf stamp in different colors on vellum paper. I created a garland-style border with another stamp and added the small heart for extra color. The Gold Glitter Gems are the icing on the cake – I use these for everything now! They are a must-have item!
