Fiskarettes Design Team: Heart Shaker Card Using The Shape Cutter

Hi all 

I am back with my first tutorial for the Fiskars Design Team. I will be showing you how to use the Shape Cutter to create this shaker card. You can find more inspiration on our Facebook group here https://www.facebook.com/fiskarettes.uk/?fref=ts

1) Spritz ink onto watercolour paper and use the small heart punch to punch out hearts

2) Using the Heart Shape Template cut out the 4 inch heart with the shape cutter. This will be the shaker box base.

3) Using craft foam cut out the 4 inch heart again and then place the template back over the heart and using the 3.5 inch heart, cut around it to create a frame.

4) Cut out the 4 inch heart again from acetate, If it is too thick for the shape cutter blade then draw around the template and cut with scissors.

5) Take a sheet of patterned paper and cut out the 4 inch heart and then position the template over the cut out and cut out a 3 inch  heart, over the top to make another frame.

6) Glue the foam frame to the base and then fill with the punched out hearts.

7) Glue the acetate over the top to seal the box.

8) Cover the uneven edges with the heart frame cut out of the patterned paper

9) Now you have a shaker box topper.

Introducing Clearly Besotted and Up And Away Stamps and Die sets

                                                          Hi All
I have some uplifting (pun intended) cards to share with you today. These are the Up and Away stamps and matching dies by Clearly Besotted which is a new favourite craft manufacture i have discovered. Clearly Besotted is a family run UK based business with wonderful customer service which makes you feel super important and really appreciated. I love shopping at www.clearlybesottedstamps.com but shh dont tell the other half :).

The stamps are made of high quality photo-polymer which i love because of how clean and crisp the images come out. no more botched projects because half the image is missing.

This card is really simple to make (honest) i gathered together two mist sprays and unscrewed the cap. instead of spraying the ink on the usual way i just depressed the nozzle and splattered the ink over the card instead. in the used the Up and Away die cuts with Oak House Studio's stamping card and used the matching Up and Away stamps to add colour and texture. I just love the sentiment that comes with this set.

Here is another card i made using the same stamp set and a little bit of the new Mirabelle paper pad.
