I went to make some cards recently and pulled out my pack of Graceful Glass vellum, which I’d used in class a couple of times, but there were still lots of beautiful pieces left. I had several birthday cards on my list to make including a 60th, so I decided to make a shaker card for her. The birds were coloured with the Stampin’ Blends. Whenever I make a shaker card I always adhere a few sequins a bit higher up so that when it sits on the recipients desk not all of the sequins are at the bottom of the shaker window.
I added gold foil die cut outs with the co-ordinating stained glass dies and stuck those in with the fine tipped glue pen on top of the window sheet. The sentiment was gold embossed from the painted glass stamp set & numbers are from a well retired die set, but were just the right size for the card.
These cards were also made using the Stampin’ Up! Blends and the beautiful Graceful Glass vellum and the Delicate Lace Edgelits. These were some of the cards that my amazing Crafternoon Tea Ladies made at a recent charity afternoon where the cards are being donated to go with quilts being made for the victims of the recent Christchurch massacre.
The next was made using the Stampin’ Blends and the Graceful Glass vellum, never an easy card to make, the base was actually very vanilla not white as the white was too harsh for behind the vellum and then teamed with real red & early expresso.
I also did some other colour variants and sentiments from the Painted Glass set as I was on a roll colouring and doing this style card – am I the only one that does this? Make a batch of similar looking cards, but just with different colours and sentiments.
