Pink and Main Gnome Matter What Card #3

 Using the Pink and Main Gnome Matter What Stamp and Die their glossy dots and a sparkly shaker mix, I enjoyed making this adorable gnome coffee mug Springtime card!  

Directions to make it: I held the two pieces of paper together with washi tape and then cut the oval die (Spellbinder's Ovals) through both layers. I had adhered the 6 inch double adhesive to them prior to that so that I could adhere the acetate to each layer prior to putting the window on. The ovals were perfectly lined up and this made it easier to make the shaker.  I free hand cut the acetate into an oval shape just larger than the die cut by using the negative cut outs to show me where to cut. I added more double sided adhesive around the edge of the "window" so as to make sure the pieces didn't spill out. I chose a pink and green sequin mix from my past days at Kennedy Grace DT with her gorgeous Sequin mixes. Un-Du was used when placing the ovals together to give me time to move them around to fit together perfectly. The 6x6 paper pad is a blast from the past of Pink and Main's past papers. Love the tone on tone of these fun colors!! Definitely a keeper till I use it all up!! Silver glossy sparkle dots were added inside mostly and out. In making the card in this manner, it will not cost extra to mail since in essence, it is flat.

Pink and Main Gnome Matter What Card

 Using the Pink and Main Gnome Matter What Stamp and Die their enamel dots and sparkly shaker mix, I enjoyed making this adorable like coffee mug Springtime card! Using a top folding A-2 card base is the trick to this process and unfolding the card base so that I used only the card front. I die cut the rectangle out and then used an oval die (Spellbinder's Oval die) through both the card layer and that star paper so that the see through "window" was centered. I used washi tape to make sure they didn't move and I had made an adhesive sandwich with 6 inch adhesive tape on both paper layers adhered to the back. In this way, I removed the adhesive and adhered a slightly larger acetate oval (I free hand cut) to the adhesive on each paper.  I then added strips of adhesive that were narrow to the inside edge of that acetate so as not to show when the shaker part was glued together. I made this flat. I wanted to make it easier to mail and have room for sequins and pieces but not thick. Using UN-DU when finally adhering the layers made it easy to position them centered.

Pink And Main Gnome One Like You Card

 Using the new Pink and Main Gnome Body Like You stamp and die along with their enamel dots and sparkly shaker mix, I enjoyed making this adorable like coffee mug Springtime card! I used double side cardstock of purple so that through the "window" you can see the lighter purple on the inside. This was done by cutting an oval (Spellbinder's Oval die) through both the top panel and the bottom dark purple cardstock. I then sandwiched the acetate in the middle and added my shaker mix. By doing it this way, it doesn't add the bulk like in my other shaker cards and because the pieces are just the width of sequins it shakes plenty!
