Happy Thursday friends! I recently picked up the MFT Stamps Squeeze the Day stamp and die set. I’ve been eyeing it for a while and decided to treat myself for the heck of it. I also recently picked up a brown ink pad for copic coloring and was very excited to test it out. So these two things together equaled a fabulous mini crafting session.
I randomly chose a few of the Squeeze the Day images to stamp with the new brown ink, then colored them with copic markers. I used the coordinating dies to cut everything out and then I had some playing/deciding to do for an actual card design.
After rooting around in my MFT Stamps bin, I found the Big Smile die and thought it would be fun to create a shaker with my critters sitting on top. So I went to work. I die cut smile from a white panel measuring 4×5.25 inches and used it as a guide where to ink blend the yellow inks on my card front. I stamped my sentiment below the die cut window, then turned the panel into a shaker.
For that you add acetate to the back of the letter windows and foam tape around the whole panel. Sprinkle your shaker bits in the center of the area, remove the release paper from the foam and adhere it all together.
I mini splattered some brown ink across the card front before popping up all my images with foam squares. OMG! Isn’t this the cutest?!? I’m very attached. It might have to live in the craft room.
