Kori Kumi Flower Shaker Card

Hi all

I thought i would share a card made using the Kori Kumi collection.

I used a nesting die for the shaker box and used craft foam instead of  foam tape. I will do a video on my technique which i originally learned off the Lawn Fawn team. 

I love these sequins as they are bright colous instead of the usual metallic colors.

DecoArt Gold Metallic Lustre

I started off by painting each piece with white gesso and leaving it to dry and then i gave it a coat of cream chalky finish paint. 

I then covered each piece in pva glue that had been watered down with a little water. I used the White Wood Decoupage papers and covered each piece. Once it had dried i used the hineycombe stamp from the Tell The Bees Collection to stamp across the sides using black ink. I then cut out the flowers from white card and coloured them with brusho powders. 

I then sanded back any rough and uneven edges and rubbed on some  gold metallic lustre. I then glued the flowers onto the sides of the box and filled in the gaps with sequins.

I covered the inserts with the Old Paper Decoupage papers and glued resin flowers on to the tabs to finish.

Kori Kumi Far Away Tag Shaker Card

Hi all

I have another shaker card to share using the Kori Kumi collection.

I used a tag nesing dies and just placed a smaller one inside a larger sized die. Fix them in place with washi tape and then cut out one from paper and one from craft foam. You can cut extra foam pieces if you want a deeper box. Next cut out the largest die from paper and then again from acetate. Glue the craft foam frames to the base and fill it up. Then glue the acetate top on and the paper frame over the top.

I used an embossing folder on the top part of the card and navy blue paper on the bottom.

The characters are cut out of one of the 8 x 8 sheets.

How To Create Adorable Kori Kumi Mixed Media Cards

Hi all

I have some exciting news to share!!

I have joined the Craft Consortium Design Team and i am excited about the year ahead.

While i work on the new collections, i have a few mixed media cards i made up using the Kori Kumi Collection.

Start off by covering a 5 x 7 card and then use a flower stencil with modeling paste to apply a layer of embossed flowers over the card.

Spritz the card with water and sprinkle over Brusho Powders and dab the ink with a paper towel.

Pop out the pieces from the decoupage sheets and make them up but don't stick them onto the base layer. Adhere the characters to the corners of the card. 

Add a sentiment using a die and white card.

Spritz water over the 5 x 7 card and then sprinkle Brusho Powder over the card.

To get the faded effect by using a pale green first and then applying a darker green over the top as each layer dries.  Stamp textures over the card using stamps and then build up the topper.

Cut up a few strips of paper from the 8 x 8 pad and layer them up before adhereing them to the card. Add a bit of the leaf ribbon just on the edge of the paper layers.

Add a sentiment by cutting out the words in craft foam with a die cut. Finish off by adding enamel dots.
