Hello everyone! This is Melissa and I’m here to share a couple of cards made with the beautiful, new Vase Shaker, Teacup Shaker, and Notched Squares dies. If you love creating with dies as much as I do, these products were made for you. Let’s get started!

My first card uses the delightful Vase Shaker…oh how I love it! I die cut it from aqua cardstock, using an aqua striped patterned paper as the base layer. I filled it full of sequins, clay confetti, and seed beads. I used a thin vellum instead of acetate to create my shaker, allowing the filler to shine through very subtly.

I filled my vase with darling blooms, cut using the new Floral Wreath Builder and Spring Floral dies. The bow from the Floral Wreath Builder was the perfect touch at the top of my vase.

The irresistible new Layered Daffodils stencils were used to create my background, stenciling in colors to coordinate with the yellow daffodil in my floral arrangement. I then used one of the larger Notched Squares dies to layer under my vase to create a nice landing space for my focal point. My sentiment is from the new Simple Thanks stamps and dies and is the perfect size to grace the center of my shaker.

My next card uses the new and oh, so adorable Teacup Shaker. I can’t get over how cute this is and the color choices, patterns, and personality are endless! I cut my teacup from patterned paper in coordinating patterns and colors.

I chose to use flowers from the Floral Wreath Builder die collection to fill my cup, ink blending them in yellows and oranges. I added my sentiment on the die cut tea bag that comes with the set and stamped it using the new Hummingbird Floral set. The coordinating die is so graceful and sweet and looks perfect across the front of my teacup.

Once again I’ve used the Notched Squares dies to create my base layers, using a fresh gingham as the bottom layer followed by a white center layer. These dies are definitely must-haves in your crafting stash!
