    Strawberry Lemonade Birthday Shaker

    Shaker Element I started this card with the shaker element. For this I die cut the largest frame from the Kat Scrappiness A2 Reverse Scallop Die Set three times. For the top layer I used a piece of Hammermill that I scribbled with a purple alcohol marker. That’s because I was following Color Cube palette…

  • Abstract Thinking

    Embossing Folder Friend

    For the sentiment I used the Spellbinders Small Die of the Month for August 2024. I like the chunky font and that it has shadow dies for all the words.

    There are six stencils in the Peony Fantasy Layering Stencils Set, but I want to use two different colors for stencil 1. Stencil 1 has openings for coloring the flower centers, as well as the lightest color on the leaves.
