Hello crafty friends! Arsenia here, popping in with a sneak peek of the February release—and oh my goodness, it’s a good one!
Today it’s shaker time, and I’m sharing two cheerful cards featuring the new Watering Can Shaker, Daffodil Shaker, Large Spring Die, and Stitched Spring Flowers. This release is absolutely chock-full of springtime goodness and is perfect for getting those crafty spring vibes flowing. So grab your supplies and let’s get started!
Card One: Daffodil Shaker
For my first card, I kicked things off by creating the background with some partial stenciling using the new Mini Checker Stencil. I knew I wanted my daffodil to really shine, so I grabbed a smaller panel of colored cardstock and cut a window using a die from the Present Shaker Die set. To keep things playful, I added a bit more partial stenciling to the frame—because why not?
Now for the fun part… shaker time! I used the new Daffodil Shaker Dies to create a pink daffodil (because pink daffodils = instant happiness) and filled it with the new dreamy Pastel Dreams Shaker Beads. For the center, I sprinkled in some Sunset Pearls for that perfect little pop of sunshine.
To add a touch of artsy flair, I cut the leaves from a piece of distress green cardstock from my stash. Once everything was ready, I adhered the frame and daffodil to the card base—and of course, I tilted the frame just a bit for some whimsical wonkiness.
For the sentiment, I used the new Large Spring Shadow Die, paired with a sub-sentiment from the new Easter Banner Greetings Stamp Set and Banner Greetings 3 Dies. The card still felt like it needed one more little detail, so I added a butterfly from the new Springtime Holder Additions Dies… and voilà!
Card Two: Watering Can Shaker
Onto card number two! I started by creating a shaker with the new Watering Can Shaker Die, filling it with oodles of Sparkling Clear Sequins (because more sparkle is always the right answer).
Next, I made the sweetest little flowers using the new Stitched Spring Flowers dies. I went bold with my color choices and had a blast mixing in patterned papers from my stash. For the background, I did some ink smooshing and brought in the new Raindrops Stencil—instant spring rain vibes!
I love adding frames, so I used the Stitched Torn Rectangle Dies to create one and gave it a little ink smooshing to tie everything together. To ground the scene, I placed my watering can on a cozy bed of grass using the Grass Border Die.
Now came the truly whimsical part—adhering all the elements to the card base and watching the scene come to life. Once everything was in place, I added a sentiment from the new Easter Banner Greetings stamp set using the Banner Greetings 3 Die Set.
I absolutely adore how this card turned out. The Watering Can Shaker Die has endless possibilities and is definitely one of those dies you’ll reach for all year long.
