Happy Wednesday Ai Fans!!!
Watch video tutorial here!!!
Today we will be creating a cheerful get-well shaker card using the Ai Doggy Kisses Set (AiCS38) which includes several cute little dogs, paws, a bandage, tissues w/ mug and several coordinating sentiments!
This card was inspired by the current Ai "I like to move it, move it!" Blog Challenge! Just as the name implies, we are looking for cards that shake, rattle and roll! Whether it be a shaker card, as we will be creating today, or a slider card, a card that wobbles, or anything else you can think of that adds movement to your card or project!
Let's begin by stamping and coloring the dog and several bandages using the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens in the following colors: Blender, Tea Rose, Carmine Red, Scarlet Red, Yellow, May Green, Green, Aquamarine Blue, Cobalt Blue, Lt Gray, Beige, Mid Brown. We can now fussy cut the images with some detail scissors and leave a little white border all the way around.
Now let's create the front shaker panel for the card using the largest die from the Ai Nested Rectangle Dies (5724). We will also use the Ai Nested Heart Dies (5721) to create the window opening and to create a scalloped heart frame.
We will ink around the edges of the panel and the scallop frame using some "sand dune" ink and a small blending brush.
Using a piece of clear acetate cut down to fit behind this rectangular panel we will stamp our sentiment in some permanent "snowflake" ink. This sentiment will say "Hope it won't take too long to recover" which is from this same stamp set and is perfect for this card! Go ahead and attach the acetate to this panel using some double-sided tape.
Next, we will add some 3D Foam Tape to the back of this panel so that we can create the shaker element for this card (I will show you exactly how to do this in today's video). We will place some pretty and colorful sequins inside the shaker area and attach the front panel to our card base. The card base is a standard A2 size top folding card which will measure 4 1/4" x 5 1/2".
Now let's finish decorating the front of the card by adding the little puppy, a few bandages, and some pretty sequins! We will also add a few of the clay hearts from this sequin mix to the center of each of the bandages.
For the inside of the card, we will stamp "Thinking of you" onto the leftover heart that was created when we die cut the front panel. Don't forget to ink the edges of this heart as well and add a few more bandages!
For some added fun you can add a bandage or two to the flap on the envelope! I think that anyone feeling a bit under the weather would love to receive this sweet get-well card!
Thank you so much for joining me today! Have a fun and crafty day!!!
