Trinity Stamps – I <3 You Shaker

Hey there! I’m over on the Trinity Stamps blog today with a super fun shaker card showcasing one of the super cute gnomes from the release on Friday!

This was a total winging it card. LOL! I started by coloring this cute gnome from Make a Wish and die cutting him out. Then I looked at him for a bit and decided it would be fun to use the punny sentiment in the set and suddenly the idea hit me for a shaker card!

I used the lots of dots stencil on a panel and then die cut the I ❤ YOU with the marshmallow alphabet dies and glued it to a piece of acetate. Pulling from colors used on my image I cut a blue panel the same color as the gnome’s accents, added foam tape, added my shaker bits and closed it all up. I used some clear microbeads from my stash and the twitterpated hearts from Trinity for my shaker. The heart in the marshmallow alphabet dies cuts a frame so I cut it from the same blue in the background and glued it to the acetate opening too.

I stamped and die cut my sentiment and then popped it, and my gnome, up with foam squares. Then I finished the card off with glossy accents on the gnome’s hat, shaker and some of the cake decorations. I also added Wink of Stella glitter brush pen to the stamped sentiment.

Such a fun card! I have so many gnome lovers in my life that I know would enjoy this. Also, I can’t stop playing with the shaker. They are so entertaining.

I appreciate you sharing your time with me. Have a fabulous day!
