I made a shaker card, using little Space Minions from Whimsy Stamps. This die is super cute for space themed creations. For the shaker card, I used the wee minions as actual shaker elements, for a fun and different twist. I created my own background by stamping random words from the Doodle Frames Stamp Set over the base. I also used the stamp and die frame from the Doodle Frames Stamp and Die Sets to create the shaker frame. Something a bit fun and different from the usual round or square windows often used. I created the alien atmosphere background with watercolour paper and watercolour pens and some salt. I splattered the background to finish it off and hand cut it to fit the Doodle Frame shape. Next I added the sequins and little alien shaker elements before putting the shaker window all together. I used a simple mix of sequins from my stash, which was some toning round sequins and some little iridescent star sequins, perfect for a space theme. The minions I cut from a dark teal cardstock and from silver iridescent cardstock. The shine of the silver minions is fabulous and catches the light so well. I finished this card with the large word die smile, which echoed one of the stamped sentiments I'd used for the card base. I grabbed my corner rounder and rounded two opposing corners to finish the card. I made three little tags using elements from the previous creation. I used a fun Whimsy Stamps Bookmark Die cut down to make tags, which I then added some washi tape in a toning silver as the base of the design. I tore one edge of the washi tape for a bit of texture. I ink splattered the background of the tags for a bit of interest with metallic frost reinker watered down and flicked from the edge of an acrylic stamping block. I added the Smile and Special Large Word Dies to the first two tags. I used multiple layers of these diecuts stacked up to add a bit of dimension to the words. The third little tag features those cute Space Minions. I used scraps of toning ribbon and bakers twine to finish these tags.
Thanks for spreading positivity!
