Pretty Pink Posh Mushroom Shaker card

Hi crafty friends! I'm sharing a super cute shaker card using some goodies from Pretty Pink Posh. I am new to PPP, but I absolutely love their shaped shaker dies and I fell in love with this mushroom shaker as soon as I saw it!
Check out what I made and scroll down for a complete list of supplies.
I combined some of my favorite die sets for this card. I started out with some of my favorite fall papers from the Cozy A2 paper pad. I used the Mushroom Shaker Die set for the main focal point. I used flowers from the Build-a-Wreath die set by Spellbinders and the fabulous foliage branches are from  the Classic Foliage die set by Alex Syberia Designs. 💖
My blooms are layered with white cardstock and vellum to give them a light feel. The foliage is die cut from the Harvest A2 cardstock paper pad. The solids coordinate perfectly with the Cozy patterns making it easy to look put together! I love how this turned out!

Die-Cutting Essentials Magazine feature with Alex Syberia Designs

 Hi everyone! I can finally share some exciting news! The wonderful team over at Alex Syberia Designs asked me to create 5 cards for a special feature in the new Die-Cutting Essentials magazine (Issue #109)! I was so excited and honored to be asked! The magazine issue is now available and I can share my projects with you.

The feature was all about BIRTHDAY cards and had a color palette of bright pink, light pink, orange, light blue and green! It was so much fun to create these. I want to give a special shout out to Natalia with ASD for being so wonderful to work with. Now on to my cards.
First up is fun blooms card using the Fantasy Flowers Die set. I lightly inked each of the blooms at the base of the flower with coordinating ink to give a bit of depth. The delicate cover plate is called Tiny Flowers and I die cut it with white cardstock and adhered it over a light blue card base.

Next up is a simple flower blooms card using the Delicate Blooms Die set. This one is really simple and quick to put together. The background was made with the Elegant Stripes Hot Foil plate with light blue foil.

Next up is an elegant birthday card using the Floral Balloon Extravaganza Stamp and Die set. The background was made the Dazzling Fireworks Cover Plate on white cardstock and then I added Diamond Stickles to the fireworks die cut marks! So pretty and sparkly. And that balloon image is so so pretty, I colored it with Copic markers.

Next up is a colorful birthday cake card using the Celebrate with Cake Stamp and Die set. I stamped the birthday cake with light blue ink and stamped the cake accents and platter with a darker blue and die cut them out and assembled. The background was made the Tiny Dots Hot Foil plate with bright pink foil.

Last, but not least, is a fun little circle card that features 2 of the adorable pandas from the Cheerful Panda Moments Stamp and Die set. The circle card base is made with the Nested Stitched Circle Die set and lightly blended green and blue ink for a faint backgroud for the pandas.
