Simon Says Stamp - Good Luck Charm Release Blog Hop, Day 1



Hi Lovelies!

Thank you for joining us for Day 1 of Simon Says Stamp's Good Luck Charm Release Blog Hop! I'm seeing green in the best way possible with this pair of Lucky Friendship cards.


One background became the focal point of two cards that are all about celebrating our besties!


The Linking Luck Clovers die is perfect for creating shaker cards, but I wanted to use both the negative space space and the cut-out so I could make two cards to share with you.


Below is a quick snapshot of our key supplies, the full supply list is linked for your convenience here and in the Supply Gallery at the end of this post.

Now let's go shake things up with our Lucky card duo.

 

YOU = AWESOME, ME = LUCKY CARD - Ombre Ink-Blended, Polka-Dot Stenciled Shaker

A2 Card Base: 4 1/4" x 5 1/2"

Ink-Blended Layer: 3 3/4" x 5"

Acetate Layer: 3 5/8" x 4 7/8"


Featuring:




Prepare the Card Front

  1. Blend Sprout ink onto a Card Front 3/4 down the cardstock

  2. Add Fairway ink over the top 1/2

  3. Stencil Picket Fence Distress Ink over the ink-blended panel using the largest-sized dots size of the Confetti Stencil

  4. Stencil Distress Embossing Ink through the medium-sized dots stencil layer

  5. Dust with Clear Embossing Powder

  6. Heat set with Embossing Tool



Make the Shaker

  1. Select the outline die from the Linking Lucky Clovers die set

  2. Secure the outline die to the card front with low tack tape like 3M Artist Tape or Thermoweb Pixie Tape and diecut

  3. Adhere the acetate layer to the diecut card front using a glue runner or Simon 1/4" Red Line Tape

  4. Apply foam tape to the acetate



Apply and Store Sequins


Simon Says Stamp sequins come in little Ziploc bags which are quire handy but getting sequins back into that bag or the little plastic containers that I store mine in is not my favorite activity.


So these little Triangle Trays are a life saver to hold your smaller craft embellishments and allow you to get them back into their storage bag/box with ease.



For this shaker, strategically place several sequins with the Embellishment wand and adhere several sequins with Simon's Craft Tacky Glue to the card front so that they remain in place and always on display while the loose sequins shake when the card is moved.


  1. Give the glued sequins a few minutes to dry and then add additional sequins on top before adhering the die-cut card front to the sequined card base

  2. Diecut matte gold cardstock using the inner "section" of the Linking Luck Clovers die set and adhere to acetate on card front



Prepare Embellishments

  1. Diecut a clover out of 110lb white cardstock and ink with Fairway and Field inks

  2. Trim selected sentiment strips

  3. Adhere to the card front to finish








This has got to be some of the happiest green inks that I have!.
