It’s Friendship Friday! This is the day to focus on giving back or paying it forward.
As I am cleaning out my retiring supplies with the announcement of the Last Chance List I am letting my mind wander. If someone comes to mind while I am cleaning I will create a beginner’s stamping kit so they can begin to craft as well.
So as you’re cleaning out for the Rubber Rummage Sale does anyone come to mind for you to help in being creative?
Think about it. Is there someone that can benefit from a creative connection?
It’s Tutorial Thursday! Here’s how to make shaker cards with strange shapes.
So I should probably explain myself…strange shapes means not a circle, square, triangle. Something that has curves and weird points like a bunny or a flower.
Here is what the underneath looks like after placing the Foam Adhesive Strips.
Here are the measurements for both cards.
Bunny Shaker Card
Cut a piece of Thick White Card Stock with the Paper Trimmer to 4 ¼” X 11”. On the 11” side score at 5 ½”. This is your card base.
Cut a piece of Texture Chic 12” X 12” Specialty Designer Series Paper to 5 ¼” X 4”. Attach to the card base with Stampin’ Seal. This is your outer mat.
Cut a piece of Petal Pink Card Stock to 5” X 3 ¾”. Emboss with the coordinating folder from the Basics 3D Embossing Folders. Then punch out the bunny from the Easter Bunny Punch.
Cut a piece of Calypso Coral Card Stock and another of Window Sheet to 5 1/8” X 3 7/8” each.
Attach the Window Sheet to the embossed pink card stock with Mini Glue Dots.
Then outline the image with Foam Adhesive Strips to create the pocket.
Fill in the pocket with some Loose Daisy Embellishments.
Peel the backing off the Foam Adhesive Strips and glue down the Calypso Coral piece.
Then place Stampin’ Seal on the back of the Calypso Coral and glue to the outer mat.
Punch out the Calypso Coral Card Stock with the scalloped oval from the Double Oval Punch. Then punch out with the smooth-edged oval in Petal Pink Card Stock. Stamp image in Calypso Coral Ink from the Easter Bunny Photopolymer Stamp Set. Attach to card front.
Flower Shaker Card
Cut a piece of Thick White Card Stock with the Paper Trimmer to 5 1/2” X 8 1/2”. On the 8 1/2” side score at 4 1/4”. This is your card base.
Cut a piece of Texture Chic 12” X 12” Specialty Designer Series Paper to 5 ¼” X 4”. Attach to the card base with Stampin’ Seal. This is your outer mat.
Cut a piece of Mango Melody Card Stock to 5” X 3 ¾”. Cut out the flower petals from the Mini Pocket Envelope Dies. Emboss with the Hive 3D Embossing Folder.
Cut a piece of Early Espresso Card Stock and another of Window Sheet to 5 1/8” X 3 7/8” each.
Attach the Window Sheet to the embossed yellow card stock with Mini Glue Dots.
Then outline the images with Foam Adhesive Strips to create the pocket.
Fill in the pockets with some Loose Daisy Embellishments.
Peel the backing off the Foam Adhesive Strips and glue down the Early Espresso piece.
Then place Stampin’ Seal on the back of the Early Espresso and glue to the outer mat.
Punch out the Early Espresso Card Stock with the scalloped oval from the Double Oval Punch. Then punch out with the smooth-edged oval in Mango Melody Card Stock. Stamp image in Early Espresso Ink from the Easter Bunny Photopolymer Stamp Set. Attach to card front.
This is just a quick reminder that we are not limited to card stock. Remember that we have the Staz-On inks that can be stamped on glass, metal, wood, cork, etc. This means you can even stamp on mugs. But remember that you need a straight side if you are stamping.

It’s Sabbath Sunday! Today is the day to rest so you can be recharged for the week.
I don’t know about you but when I am focused or stressed about something I tend to tighten up. So I found this list of things to do to regain your calm quickly.
Just a reminder that the Last Chance List will go live on Wednesday, March 29. But before this, please pay attention as some items are on low inventory, such as many of the In Colors that are going out, and will be gone forever. This may occur even before the Last Chance List is out.
It’s Friendship Friday! This is the day to focus on giving back or paying it forward.
There are so many groups on Facebook that I can’t even begin to start telling you about all of them. But I can tell you about one of them.
Did you know that you could look up groups by topic as well as by area? If you do not live in the Morongo Basin I would encourage you to research “pay it forward” groups in your area.
For the Morongo Basin I am sure there are several groups specifically to help with giving back or paying it forward. I found one particular one that is fairly active. I would encourage you to look it up and see if you can add to it. The link for the Pay It Forward Morongo Basin group is https://www.facebook.com/groups/557345691278803.
It’s Tutorial Thursday! Today I want to show you how to create wobbler and slider cards.
Here are the photos of the cards.
For both of these cards the base is Thick Basic White Card Stock cut to 4 1/4″ X 11″ with the Paper Trimmer. Then on the 11″ side it is scored at 5 1/2″.
The mat is Highland Heather Card Stock cut with the Paper Trimmer to 5 1/4″ X 4″. It is then embossed with one of the Basic 3D Embossing Folders from the Online Exclusives.
For the Wobbler Card two 1″ circles are punched out from the Highland Heather Card Stock and have a hole punched in the middle with the Take Your Pick Tool. About 5″ of wire is wound around the tool and then thread through the hole and secured with Tear & Tape Adhesive on both sides. Stamp the bunny and sentiment with Highland Heather Ink on a scrap piece of Basic White Card Stock. Cut out with Snips. Attach the bunny to one circle and then then other circle to the base of the card. Then attach your sentiment with Dimensionals.
For the Slider Card cut a “window” with the coordinating die from the Cracker & Treat Box Dies. The window is about one and a half lengths of the die. Then take two pennies and sandwich a Dimensional between the window to create a track. Tip: Cut the points off the Dimensional first. Then stamp a bunny and sentiment with Highland Heather Ink on a scrap of Basic White Card Stock and cut out. Attach the bunny to the penny with either Mini Glue Dots or a Dimensional. Then attach the sentiment with Dimensionals.
It’s Wacky Wednesday where a product is used in a way it is not intended!
Did you know that you could use your dies to ink an image? Simply dip your dies with the raised side down in your ink very gently. Then take a tweezer to lift out so your fingers aren’t dipped in ink. Finally set on to your card stock. Gently press on to the card stock to get the ink to transfer. Fill in your marker as needed.
