Studio Monday with Nina-Marie: Slimline Triple Shaker!

Hello crafty friends, it’s Nina-Marie Trapani here with you today and I have a slimline shaker card tutorial for you!

I’m showcasing the adorable, Picture Perfect Party Animals stamp set from My Favorite Things. The series of cute critters are fun to use on their own, but they are even more spectacular when paired together onto a slimline card!

I stepped my slimline card design up even further by turning each critter square into its own little shaker! The confetti inside each square really makes you feel like these characters are having a party!

DIY: 3D Paper Ornaments

Welcome, everyone!! It’s Shari here with a DIY inspiration for you.
I’m always looking for ways to extend the use of my cardmaking supplies for other purposes. The moment I saw the NEW Simon Says Stamp Medallion die, I thought 3D Paper Ornaments!! I LOVE the detail of the medallion that die cuts the tiny detail dots.

I’ve created simple paper ornaments by die-cutting 5 from each type of paper and glued the sides together leaving a channel in the center for ribbon or twine.

These can be embellished with sequins, gemstones, glitter, paper flowers, beads, and on and on. I’ll leave the embellishing to you to suit your own decor.
They can be hung on a tree, strung to create a garland, decorate a table, even used as a place setting with a nametag. I’d love to hear how you would use them too!!
