Hello there,
I'm so happy to be back with this monochromatic coffee themed shaker card featuring the Teacup Shaker die from the Pretty Pink Posh May 2025 Release, as well as previously released items I used to create a cute and lovely little scene. I usually create monochromatic cards during the Fall or Halloween seasons, so it was fun to work with all those shades of beige and brown to create this shaker card.
I started off by cutting a large Eyelet Rectangle panel out of kraft cardstock, and I created a fun background using the Layered Teacups stencils. With stencil #1 I used vintage photo oxide ink, and with stencil #2 I used ground espresso oxide ink. I splattered water all over the panel and dried it with a paper towel, mixed a little bit of ground espresso oxide ink with water and used a slim brush to add more splatters to my panel, and then I did the same with copic opaque white ink for brightness and contrast, and also with vintage photo distress spritz for sparkles. Next I cut a large Eyelet Circle panel out of vellum, added the same white ink splatters and vintage photo distress spritz splatters, and then set my two panels aside to dry.
Once they were dry, I attached my Eyelet Rectangle panel to a 5,5 x 4,25 inches dark brown panel using 1mm foam tape, next the whole thing to a white card base, and then I stuck my Eyelet Circle vellum panel to the card using a couple of 1mm foam squares in the middle.
Next I worked on the Teacup Shaker and built it following those steps:
1. Cut a Teacup Shaker frame out of brown gingham pattern paper
2. Cut a whole Teacup Shaker out dark brown cardstock, trimmed the handle and glued to the gingham teacup
3. Cut a whole Teacup Shaker out of clear acetate, and attached my gingham teacup frame to it using liquid glue
4. Flipped my teacup over and added foam strips all along the edges of the cup, following its shape, and at the back of the handle as well
5. Poured a whole bunch of Chocolate shaker beads inside the teacup
6. Cut a whole Teacup Shaker out of a beige pattern paper, peeled all the backing papers off the foam strips, and attached that beige teacup to the foam strips to totally close the Teacup Shaker.
Next I cut all the bits and pieces out of colored cardstock, and applied matching distress ink to the edges of each element to darken them a little bit more and give them more interest. I also mixed those same matching distress inks with water and added splatters to each piece, and then I did the same with copic opaque white ink and added white ink splatters on all the elements.
Here is a detailed list of the die sets I used: • Valentine Mug Additions - spoon, chocolate, coffee beans • Candy Treats - chocolate cookie • Stitched Hearts - heart waffle • Big Valentine Cupcake - whipped cream • Birthday Mug Additions - rolled cookie.
Next I attached everything to my card using 1mm and 2mm foam squares, liquid glue and 3mm glue dots. I white heat embossed "Hello friend" from Friend Greetings on brown cardstock, cut it using the matching die, added a little bit of matching distress ink on the edges, and attached it on the cup using 2mm foam squares. And to finish my card, I applied glossy accents to the hearts on the cream and spoon, and also on the chocolate.
