Shimmer & Shake Birthday Card

How to make a Sparkly, Shimmery Shaker Birthday Card.

Shimmer & Shake Birthday Card

One of the great things about being a cardmaker is making fun cards

for special people. I made a quick and easy card for my cousin’s birthday

over the weekend and forgot to take any process shots.

So, I decided to make another one, slightly different.

Making Sparkly Shimmery Cards are fun to make.

Taking photographs of those kind of cards are not.

To give the cards the extra sparkle and shine, I used StyletechCraft’s Chrome Vinyls.

Shimmer & Shake Birthday Card

Materials Used: (*affiliate links)

StyleTechCraft Pink Chrome Adhesive Vinyl*
StyleTechCraft Silver Chrome Adhesive Vinyl*
StyleTechCraft Holographic Mist Chrome Adhesive Vinyl*
StyleTechCraft Vinyl Tool Kit*
Happy Birthday Die Set from The Maker’s Movement
Frame Die Set from The Maker’s Movement
3D Foam Squares from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L*
Sequins from Dress My Crafts*
Clear Acetate Sheet*
White Cardstock and Pink Polka Dot Scrapbook Paper
Double Stick Tape Roller*

Shimmer & Shake Birthday Card

Directions:

Usually, when I’m working with vinyl, I use it as a sticker. This time I wanted to use the vinyl to make a dimensional piece. Before die-cutting, I placed the vinyl onto the cardstock.
Die-cut the words Happy Birthday using Pink Chrome Adhesive Vinyl*.
Die-cut the birthday background using Silver Chrome Adhesive Vinyl*.
Cut the Small 3D Foam Squares* in half and place them onto the back of the letters. Use tweezers to add each of the letters to the background.

Shimmer & Shake Birthday Card

Die-cut a frame using white cardstock.
Cut a piece of clear acetate slightly smaller than the frame.
Use a double tape roller to add adhesive around the frame.
Remove the protective film from the acetate and place it inside the frame.
Place double-sided adhesive strips over the acetate.
Cut a piece of Holographic Mist Chrome Adhesive Vinyl* slightly smaller than the frame.

Shimmer & Shake Birthday Card

Add the sequins to the inside of the frame. Leave enough room that the sequins shake.
Remove the protective film from the foam strips and add the cut piece of Holographic Mist Chrome Adhesive Vinyl* to the back of the frame.
Peel back the backing from the back of the Holographic Mist Chrome Adhesive Vinyl* and place the frame onto a piece of pink dot scrapbook paper.

Shimmer & Shake Birthday Card

Add 3D foam squares to the back of the die-cut background.
Place “Happy Birthday” onto the front of the frame.
Adhere the frame layers on a white card.
Add a simple white sheer bow to finish the card.

Shimmer & Shake Birthday Card

I love how the Holographic Vinyl sparkles and changes color in the sun.

Summer Fun with StyleTechCraft Sun Changing Vinyl

Looking for a fun activity to create with the kids?

Create Cups that change with the sun.

Summer Fun with StyleTechCraft Sun Changing Vinyl

I used Sun Changing Vinyl from StyleTechCraft* and my

Silhouette Cameo Electronic Die Cutting Machine*

to create fun shape stickers for the kids to decorate the cups.

The Sun-Changing Vinyl* is available in four fun colors.

Summer Fun with StyleTechCraft Sun Changing Vinyl

Fun kiddie cocktails are great when all the grown-ups are sitting

around the pool drinking adult beverages.

For the kids, I bought drink cups, stir sticks, plates, pretzels, and

cute little light-up flamingoes*, and pineapples* at Dollar Tree*.

It makes a day at the pool feel like a party.

For smaller letters, we used StyleTechCraft Vinyl Transfer Tape* to add the vinyl to the cup.

The bigger stickers they can just peel and stick.

Here’s a bad photo of the cup before we took it outside.

I wanted to show you how it looked before it changed with the sun’s UV rays.

The vinyl all looks pretty much the same.

The Kids LOVE the Color Changing Cups!

Great for drinks around the pool.

The Sun Changing Vinyl is perfect for water bottles too.

It’s the perfect way to celebrate Summer Fun.

And it eliminates the endless summer cups because they can’t remember if it’s their cup or not.

Here’s another fun Color-Changing project I made a couple of years ago.

DIY Floral Notepad Holder

DIY Floral Notepad Holder

Create a Handy Floral Notepad Holder using Sizzix Dies by Eileen Hull.

I am a list maker!

I usually have several lists going at one time.

And, if the list gets too messy, I’ll create a new one.

Lists are my way of keeping me organized.

Post-it notes* are another favorite of mine.

This Floral Notepad Holder is a great place to put my Post-it notes.

DIY Floral Notepad Holder

The theme for this month’s Eileen Hull Teams is Die Cut Mania.

The best part about Eileen’s dies is you can mix them with other Eileen dies to create one great project.

Disclosure: This is a sponsored post. As a member of the Eileen Hull Educator Team, I have been provided product in exchange for my creative ideas. The view and opinions are my own.

DIY Floral Notepad Holder using Eileen Hull & Sizzix Dies.

Materials Used: (*affiliate links)

Directions:

I used a piece of white mat board* as the base to create the pieces for the Notepad Holder. To adhere the paper to the mat board, I like to run the decorative paper through the Xyron Creative Station* to add a complete adhesive to the back. It makes everything lay wonderfully smooth with no peeling up corners.
Die Cut the pieces for the stand using the Phone Stand Die* for the base, Frame Pocket Journal Die* for the pocket, and the Journal Die* for the decorative plaque. (as shown in the picture above)

DIY Floral Notepad Holder using Eileen Hull & Sizzix Dies.

Gently fold the die-cut pieces on their scorelines.
Adhere the pieces together using a strong adhesive. My favorite for adhering mat board is Dap Liquid Adhesive*. All you need to do is hold the glued piece in place for 30 seconds, and it stays secure.

DIY Floral Notepad Holder using Eileen Hull & Sizzix Dies.

To add a decorative element to the edge of the center plaque, use the flat end of a gold calligraphy pen* to add a gold edging. (It may take a little practice to make your lines smooth.)

Cut the letters “NOTES” for the front of the pocket using the Alpha Numeric Die* and StyleTechCraft Gold Craft Vinyl*.
Want a matching gold pen for the notepad holder? Measure the length of the barrel. Cut the vinyl 1 1/4″ wide. Carefully adhere the gold vinyl to the barrel. It adds personality to a simple everyday pen.

DIY Floral Notepad Holder

Place the letters on the back of a small piece of gridded transfer tape* to line them up straight.
Place the transfer paper onto the small plaque and rub over the transfer paper to transfer the letters.

“If Friends Were Flowers” Shelf Sitter

"If Friends were Flowers" DIY Mason Jar Shelf Sitter

DIY yourself A Happy Little Mason Jar Shelf Sitter.

As Spring turns into Summer, I get inspired to change my decor to happy colors.

I like to open the windows and let in the fresh air.

And…I love to bring in fresh blooms whenever I can.

Flowers make me HAPPY!

"If Friends were Flowers" DIY Mason Jar Shelf Sitter

The Wood Mason Jar Cut-Out…

Sometimes when I see an item at the store, I have a vision of what I want to do.

Sometimes it works out, and other times it does not.

This particular time was the latter.

When I first saw the wood mason jar with flowers cut out,

I saw it stained with only the flowers painted.

So, I stained the wood.

It might have been the stain I used, but I wasn’t pleased with the result.

"If Friends were Flowers" DIY Mason Jar Shelf Sitter

After letting it sit overnight, I decided a little acrylic paint might help.

So, I watered down my paints so they didn’t look too heavy and painted away.

While it isn’t what I originally had planned, it’s not too bad.

It’s bright and cheery.

"If Friends were Flowers" DIY Mason Jar Shelf Sitter

Doesn’t vinyl make everything just a little better?

For extra personality, I added vinyl lettering using my favorite StyletechCraft* adhesive vinyl.

"If Friends were Flowers" DIY Mason Jar Shelf Sitter

I used a Silhouette Cameo Electronic Die Cutting Machine* with the “Monsoon Font” from The Silhouette Store to create the words.
Cut the words using StyleTech Craft Glossy Vinyl.
After cutting, remove the excess vinyl using a Vinyl Weeding Tool*.
Lay the transfer paper over the words.
Rub over the transfer paper with a vinyl scraper tool and lift the design from the white paper backing.
Lay the transfer paper onto the sign and rub over the design. Remove the transfer paper.

"If Friends were Flowers" DIY Mason Jar Shelf Sitter

To make it a shelf sitter, I glued a small block, “borrowed” from the kid’s block basket, onto the back.
I painted the block with matching acrylic paint.

"If Friends were Flowers" DIY Mason Jar Shelf Sitter

Now that it’s finished, I think the shelf sitter would also make a cute Mother’s Day or Teacher’s gift.

So many possibilities.

Simple Embossed Greeting Cards

March 14, 20232 Comments

Embossed Greeting Cards

Simple but Extraordinary Embossed Greeting Cards.

If you haven’t noticed, I love making cards.

Even though I’m mainly a “Clean and Simple” cardmaker,

I do enjoy adding a little texture from time to time.

Texture adds dimension.

And there’s no better way to add texture than to use an Sizzix Embossing Folder by Eileen Hull.

Embossed Greeting Cards

Embossed Birthday Card

Eileen’s New 3D Tablecloth Embossing Folder* creates an elegant textured background

for this Simple Birthday Card. The words “Happy Birthday were die-cut using

Eileen’s New Alphanumeric Die* and Ultra Metallic Gold Adhesive Craft Vinyl*

from StyleTechCraft.

Embossed Greeting Cards

Materials Used: (*affiliate links)

Embossed Greeting Cards

For this simple Birthday Card, I used the Woven Leather Embossing Folder*.

To use an embossing folder, place a piece of paper inside the folder.
Place the embossing folder into the Sizzix Big Shot Die Cutting Machine*. You’ll need to adjust the layers on the plate for the thickness of the folder. Crank the handle to run the embossing folder through the machine.
Open the folder for a beautifully embossed piece of paper.

I got my Sewing Machine* out for the next two cards.

I’ve wanted to make a quilt card for a while.

A quilt card is a great way to use up small scraps of paper.

Materials Used on the Quilt Cards: (*affiliate links)

Embossed Greeting Cards

Quilt Card Directions:

I put my paper through a Xyron 3″ Disposable Sticker Maker* to make the paper into sticker paper.
Cut them into 1″ squares. I laid the squares out first to play with the quilt pattern.
To make a 4″ square quilt, cut a 4″ base to lay the squares on.
Stick the squares onto the base and trim if necessary to even up the edges.
Sew in between the squares using a sewing machine.
Adhere the quilt onto paper layers and a 5″ x 5″ card.

Embossed Greeting Cards

This pink quilt card is one of my new favorites.

It reminds me of an old quilt I used to have on my bed.

It’s soft, sweet, and feminine.

It makes me want to curl up with a good book on a lazy day.

I love changing out my decorations with the seasons.

For Spring this year, I decided I needed a new bunny.

This cute little bunny door hanger makes me smile every time I see him.

Dollar Tree* always seems to have the perfect wood cut out for me to use.

And when it only costs $1.25, it’s affordable too.

My project was inspired by a Large Floral Rabbit Decoration that I saw at Michael’s Craft Store. I liked the look of the painted flowers on the rabbit. But since my hand-painting skills are not that good, a floral stencil would have to do.

How to make a Spring Bunny Door Hanger with a Dollar Tree Bunny, Acrylic Paint, and StyleTechCraft Glossy Craft Vinyl.

I created a stencil using StyleTechCraft Matte Removable Vinyl*, my Silhouette Cameo Electronic Die Cutting Machine*, and the “Flower Corner” SVG file from The Silhouette Store.
I removed all the details inside the cut image with a vinyl craft pick tool. I left only the background.
Paint inside the background using acrylic paint.
I used the same cut stencil for both sides.

To create the handle, paint several wood beads with the same acrylic paint as the flowers.

An Easy DIY Tip: Dip the end of the twine into craft glue. Twirl the fibers with your fingers tips to make the strands tight. Once the glue dries, it’s easy to add the beads.

I Love You More than Donuts Card

“I Love You More than Donuts” Valentine’s Day Card.

As I mentioned in my last post, my husband and I aren’t that gushy romantic couple.

This card is the Valentine’s Day card that I made for him.

I Love You More than Donuts Card

He really is a sweetie…

In the early years of our marriage, my husband would buy me a donut every weekend morning.

It was one of the sweet little things he would do for me.

That lasted until I told him I couldn’t eat another donut. (I know, I’m an ungrateful wife.)

But recently, my husband has been on a donut kick again.

And sometimes, if I ask nicely, he’ll buy one for me.

So technically, this should have been his Valentine’s card to me. (I hope!)

Happy Valentine’s Day Everyone!

You warm my heart mug

How to make a “You Warm my Heart” Valentine’s Day Mug.

Some girls may want roses and expensive gifts for Valentine’s Day.

Not this girl. Give me something thoughtful and sweet, and I’ll be happy.

(Oh, and a little chocolate never hurts.)

How to make a "You warm my heart" mug using StyleTechCraft Vinyl.

While shopping at my local Dollar Tree…

I found this simple red and white mug*; I was drawn to its color because it is more barn red than fire engine red.

I decided to make a fun Valentine’s mug using my favorite StyleTechCraft Adhesive Vinyl.

Did you know, Dollar Tree* has a lot of glass and ceramic items that are perfect for adding vinyl?

How to make a "You warm my heart" mug using StyleTechCraft Vinyl.

To make the Valentine’s Mug:

I used an inexpensive red mug found at Dollar Tree*.
Prep the surface of the mug with rubbing alcohol to remove any oils.
I used the Silhouette Store “ink-free” font and the Silhouette Cameo Electronic Die Cutting Machine* to cut the words.
I used StyleTechCraft Silver Luster Vinyl* for the words and StyleTechCraft Rose Gold Craft Vinyl* for the hearts.
After cutting, remove the excess vinyl using a Vinyl Weeding Tool*.
Lay the transfer paper over the words.
Rub over the transfer paper with a vinyl scraper tool and lift the words from the white paper backing.

How to make a "You warm my heart" mug using StyleTechCraft Vinyl.

Lay the transfer paper onto the mug. Since it has a curved surface, start from the center of the words and rub one side at a time using a vinyl scraper tool. The tool allows you to smooth the image and eliminate air bubbles.
Remove Vinyl Transfer Tape*.
Line up hearts over the words and apply the vinyl hearts onto the mug.

Allow the vinyl to cure on the mug for four days before use. (Hand Wash Only)
