Art Impressions Blog: Shaker Card w/ Cozy Cat Cubbies by Lynn Dionne

Happy Wednesday Ai Fans!!!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

I've got a super fun shaker card to show you today! We will be using the adorable Ai Cozy Cat Cubbies Set (5098). This set has a fun cat tree/condo scratching post and several little cats, a ball of yarn, and several coordinating sentiments!

To get started let's grab some pretty blue patterned paper and die cut the front panel for the shaker card. We will be using the Ai Rectangle A2 Double Stitched Dies (5063) and Ai Oval Double Stitched Dies (5065). This will give us a pretty stitched border around the rectangle and the oval.

Next we can stamp and color all of the images using the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens in the following colors: Blender, Sugared Almond Pink, Pale Rose, Haze Blue, Smoky Olive, Plum Gray, Mustard, Lt Brown, Beige, Sand, Lt Gray, Platinum Brown, Cool Gray 6, Mid Brown, Smoky Teal. (Note: Stamp plenty of balls of yarn and color them in a variety of colors!)

Since this set does include all of the coordinating dies so we can go ahead and die cut everything!

Let's assemble the shaker element for the card and add some chunky glitter and a bunch of the little balls of yarn! I'll give you some tips and tricks for assembling the shaker element of the card in today's video!

Next, we can stamp the sentiment for the card using the same set and it says "sending warm fuzzy felines"! We can die cut a small banner for the sentiment using the Ai Journal Template Die Set (5543). Let's pop this up for a bit of added dimension!

Finally, we can add a few pretty light blue heart gems!

This is just so cute and fun when you shake those little balls of yarn and that pretty glitter!
