Birthday Shaker Card
Don't have time to color? Today Larissa shares an idea on how to create a colorful birthday card without spending time coloring!
For this card she features the image of three kitties blinded by all the candles on the birthday cake from our Newton's Bright Birthday Stamp Set. She stamped the image in black and cut it out using the coordinating Newton's Bright Birthday Die Set.
She leaves the image uncolored but uses a paper filled with colorful stripes from our Birthday Woofs Paper Pad to add color. She cuts the paper out using our Basic Frames Die Set to give it the banner shape and layers it behind the stamped image for an instant pop of color. Next she cuts a banner out of lime green cardstock using our Banner Trio Die Set and stamps the sentiment from our Birthday Roundabout Stamp Set onto the banner.
She decides to add more color by creating a shaker pocket to layer behind the banner. She uses a clear sleeve and adds sparkle and color with purple, blue and sliver sequins inside the pocket. This adds color AND fun to the card!
To finish the card she layered the shaker panel over a blue scalloped card panel that was cut out using our Frames & Flags Die Set.
We hope this card inspires you to try different ways to add color to your card. If you don't have time to color, bright cardstock colors, patterned papers and sequins are the perfect way to brighten up a card!
