May Product Release Blog Hop- Day 2

Check out Day 1 of the blog hop HERE

Hi, there! It’s Marge here with you and I’m sharing two shaker cards featuring the new Hugs Shaker Die from Pretty Pink Posh. I’m so glad to share these as I really had fun playing with the shaker die along with other new products from the May 2018 Release.

I started my cards by diecutting Hugs Shaker Die out of heavyweight white card stock . I also cut lovely pastel colored pattern papers to use as front panels of the cards. Then I adhered acetate film on the back of front panel, and then adhered Hugs Shaker Die cut onto the front surface of acetate film.

​

For the first card, I mixed several of my favorite jewels/sequins/ seed beads  to make shakers , which is my favorite moment. I usually use bunch of embellishment to give visual interest to my shakers. It is just so fun ! Here, you could see Sea Glass Jewels, Metallic Gold Jewels, Ivory Jewels, Sparkling Clear Jewels, Berry Bright Mix, Gold Shimmer Seed Beads, Spring Green Seed Beads, Lilac Seed Beads, and Daffodil Seed Beads in just one shaker.

I added colored images from Playful Puppies stamp set and Happy Mail stamp set, which were colored using copic markers and then were cut using Playful Puppies Coordinating Dies and Happy Mail Coordinating Dies.  To embellish the card, I added Sparkling Clear Jewels, Sparkling Clear Sequins Mix and Berry Bright Mix sequins here and there.

For the second card, I stamped Flourishing Fuchsias Stamp set onto 80lb Neenah White paper using light grey dye ink, then I did no-line coloring using copic markers and cut them all using Flourishing Fuchsias Coordinating Dies.

Copic marker numbers I used are as below.

Blue : B39-B06-B04-B02-B00

Pink : RV25-RV23-RV21-RV10

Green : G14-YG03-YG01

Next, I added more details with my Prismacolor Polychromo pencils and then I placed them around the Hugs Shaker Die frame using glue & foam tapes.

​

I wrapped a vellum sleeve that I had cut using Pocket Border Die around the lower part of the panel, and then I assembled shaker. I put in blue ,pink and yellow colored sequins/jewels/ seed beads : Sparkling Clear Jewels, Ivory Jewels, Lemon Drop Jewels, Amethyst Jewels, Watermelon Jewels, Party Time Mix sequins, 3mm Sparkling Clear sequins, Gold shimmer Seed Beads, Lilac Seed Beads, and Daffodil Seed Beads.

As a final touch, I added Sparkling Clear Jewels, Lemon Drop Jewels, Party Time Mix sequins, and Champagne sequins.

Now I finished my two cards. As Pretty Pink Posh provides us all colors of beautiful sequins, jewels, and seed beads, I always enjoy making my own assortment according to the color schemes of my cards.

  78. Wow! Love your fabulous cards!!! Colouring is simply breathless!!!

  79. Fun and different colors to play with and you can coordinate with the gems!!

  83. Beautiful cards ! I love shaker cards. The colors you’ve chosen are fantastic !

  84. These cards are so gorgeous, I love this release, truly, and all the inspiration! Day 1 was amazing, so off I go hopping for day two, ready to be inspired (and enabled to do some shopping, LOL).

  85. Oh my goodness so much cuteness today, I am torn I love it when you makes flowers cards but the critters are too cute to. Would it be too much to ask for both?? ;)

  86. Very nice ones ! I love shaker cards but I don’t make them often … I will try to do some soon :)

  87. I love blog hops because they inspire me to create as do all of these wonderful new goodies.

  92. What’s a pretty pink release blog hop without some shaker cards, right! Love both your cards, maybe love the floral one a little extra 😍

  93. Both these cards are totally adorable, but I particularly like the no-line coloring of the flowers around the shaker. Not sure why, but that just tickles my fancy. Also, I love how these fuchsias are so versatile; they could be used as columbines, and I also think the buds look like paper lanterns. Maybe that’s why I like the no-line coloring so much; the buds look even more glowy and lantern-like. Congrats on a great release!

  94. shakers adds a little extra zing to our cards.
    The cards are beautiful on their own.
    thanks for having the hop. The
    release is fantastic. thanks for
    having it.
