Happy Canada Day to all my fellow Canadian Friends!
My shaker card today features these cute beavers that come from the Platyrific Pondies Stamp set. Actually, just one of the beavers come in the set and the other I just created by doing some simple mirror stamping. I then die cut the pieces and balloons using the coordinating dies and colored them in with Spectrum Noir Markers.
I also used the Phat Alphanumeric set to create the Canada Day sentiment, great set to have when you need to personalize a card.
Thank you for stopping by and hope you were inspired by this little Canada Day Beaver shaker card. Have a great Sunday celebrating today's festivities 😊
I colored the little beaver with Copics and same for his balloons. Then I added Glossy Accents to the balloons so they looked more dimensional. I also used real string for his balloon strings!

Hello Friends, Ilda here!
The snow is all gone, there are puddles everywhere and the sun is shining... finally Spring has arrived here 🙌 It feels almost as warm as today's card looks!
Today I have another card to share with you featuring the Playtirific Pondies Set from Ink On 3.
These little critters are so cute I had to use them again on another card. This time I wanted to create a shaker card.
For this card I had planned on creating a process video, but sadly lost some of the footage. So I will explain the process to you below. For now I have included a very short clip here so you can see it up close and in detail!
The first thing I did was stamp out the critters using Blackout Ink (my new favorite). I then colored them in using Spectrum Noir markers and die cut them out using their coordinating dies. Next, I moved on to the front panel.
To create the pond shaker area, first I used the second largest balloon die from Simon Says Stamp to die cut the pond shape on the right edge of the panel. I then lined up the die cut panel onto the card base to use as a guide and die cut the base. The balloon end will cleverly be hidden behind the duck so you would never know it was a balloon die you used to cut out the pond. I then used distress oxide inks to blend out the area along the pond. Once that was done blending, I stamped out the pond plants along the edge of the water and colored them in.
To create the shaker pocket, I used a clear cello bag (the kind you use to store the finished cards in) trimmed it to size, and adhered it with the finished bottom edge of the bag along the open edge of the card base. I then filled the pocket with sequins and glued the opening of the bag shut. Next, used foam tape along the edge of the pond to create a rim for the top panel to adhere to and to keep the sequins in place. There still was some areas that the sequins snuck into under the panel, so if you want to avoid that I would trim the bag all the way around the pond and use some double sided tape to close it together.
Once the top panel was adhered to the card base I added the critters in place with some foam tape. For the sentiment tag, I stamped the words out with Salty Ocean distress oxide ink and heat set it with clear embossing powder. The last thing I did was add some blue cardstock to the inside of the card and adhered it under the front panel. This did not only add color to the pond but it also hid the balloon end from being seen on the inside of the card.
Here is a closer look at this cuties 😍

Have a Platirific Week and hope this card inspired you today 😀
Even if it is to go outside and enjoy the Spring weather!
It's almost that Graduation Time of year. So if you have any Graduation cards to make you'll need to check out Ink On 3's latest released Stamp Set Platy-rific Pondies. It is too cute, and these little Pond animals are SO adorable!
For today's card I thought I was going to keep things simple and try no line coloring. What I thought would take an hour to do turned into 4 😲 But honestly it didn't feel like 4, because I really did enjoy making and learning lots from this experience. I am in love with the results!
I stamped the images first using the Fadeout No Line coloring Detail Ink, and then had fun watercoloring them all in. To add the details back into the colored images, I used prismacolor pencils and used a Finesse blender pen to blend the colors out.
To the inside of the card I stamped the sentiment below using my new favorite ink, Blackout!
