Birthday Shaker Card | Little Birdie Crafts

Hi Everyone, Kerrie here with another project for Little Birdie Crafts

Many years ago I was queen of shaker cards and I am so happy to see that they are once again popular as I do love a shaker card.

For my card today I have used Little Birdie's Boho Dreams collection as those who follow me know i love this colour combo and this collection 

first up I cut two pieces of patterned paper to use as my base layers, I then applied mixed media paste using stencil to add some texture 

while the paste was still wet i sprinkled on Silver Stars Twinkle Melange and set aside to dry

 I then watercoloured the circle frame and the flowers, once dry i pulled the frame part and created a window by adding some acetate to the back of the watercoloured frame. I also adhered a doily to the base I popped the base onto a paper doily to give another layer to my shaker 

I then double layered foam tape around the circle opening to give my shaker mix room to shake 

for my shaker mix I used a combination of Little Birdie blings 

next up I rubbed Silver Metallic Wax over the texture paste to add dimension and to take the whiteness from the paste

Once I had layered on my fussy cut pieces , flowers and sentiment I then applied some Gel Medium randomly to my cluster and sprinkled on some Micro Beads and Rainbow Sparkle and then finished off with some spatteres of watered down gesso

Birthday Shaker Card | Little Birdie Crafts

Celebrate 60 Rustic Cogs Card | Little Birdie Crafts

Hi Everyone it's Kerrie back with another project created using the fabulous Little Birdie Crafts mixed media products. I just love how easily the elements come together to create striking projects using Little Birdie Crafts mixed media mediums.

It is definetly a year of milestone birthdays in our family and October sees my brother in law celebrating the BIG 60

here is how I created my card

I started off cutting a piece of white cardstock to 20.5cm x 14.5cm and then added texture using stencil and mixed media paste, set aside to dry.

then paint an assortment of metal charms and wood veneer numbers using gesso and crackle paste, set aside to dry or dry using heat tool.

once everything was dry i wrapped some twine around the base and added some sisal fibre. I then adhered Chipboard Cogs using Heavy Gel Medium. Little Birdie chipboard is already primed so you don't need to gesso

adhere metal charms and wood veneer numbers, add on top of cogs and slip under to give dimension to card.

while Gel Medium is still wet sprinkle on Metal Micro Beads

now its time to add colour, starting off with Mocha Color Splash Spray, give light and heavy bursts

next add spritz of Charcoal Color Splash spray

once happy with  the colour coverage add some splatters with both colours, then dry off using heat tool

to add some definition to the metals charms, chipboard and wood veneers I rubbed on both Gold and Silver Metallic Wax

here is a closer look at the metallic wax

I absolutely love these colours together,  I especially love that the Charcoal spray is not too dark

using foam tape adhere the front to your card base

here are some photos to show all the texture and detail

Celebrate 60 Rustic Cogs Card | Little Birdie Crafts

Celebrate 80 Card | Little Birdie Crafts

Hi Everyone Kerrie here with another tutorial for Little Birdie Crafts Blog

Last month my Mother In Law celebrated her 80th Birthday and so to commemorate her milestone birthday I created this special card for her.

I have used the New Release Amor Mio Collection, this collection is gorgeous, perfect for weddings, formals and any special occasion.

I started off by cutting my base papers with the top piece being slightly smaller than the bottom piece. I then tore the centre of the top layer at the top and bottom. I distress the edges of all pieces and rolled back the torn edges to create a peek a boo to the bottom layer

I then created some texture to the top layer using Mixed Media Paste and Script Stencil.

While the Mixed Media Paste was still wet I sprinkled on Crystal Glitter

Once dry I adhered the layers together using foam tape to give dimension between the layers and the wrapped some twine around the center before adhering to my card base

I then create my flower cluster, adding a paper doily peeking out from the layers and some lace leaves. I also added some sisal fibre to add texture 

I then swiped Rich Gold Metallic Wax to the wood veneer 80 plus I rubbed it along the edges of my layers and to the rolled pieces to add dimension to my layers

I finished off applying some Gel Medium randomly to my flowers and sisal fibres and then sprinkled on Gold Micro Beads to again add  texture to my card.
I finished off with a sprinkling of Butterflies
