VALENTINE’S EDGE TO EDGE SHAKER CARD WITH LAWN FAWN

Hello Crafty Friends! Today, I am sharing an edge to edge Valentine’s card created with Lawn Fawn. I have been seeing more edge to edge shaker cards out there and was inspired to make one myself.

To start, I used double sided tape and adhere the plastic backing of Quinn’s Capital ABC’s set onto my Misti. I stamped the set without the letters, I, O, and U, with Versamark onto black cardstock and heat embossed with white embossing powder.

I inked the entire background with VersaMagic to achieve a blackboard effect. I then used a white chalkboard crayon and filled in the alphabets with vertical lines. I stamped several hearts with VersaMagic onto the background for interest. VersaMagic has a tendency to stain stamps so if you like to keep your stamps clear, I would suggest to wipe the stamp immediately after use. I die cut two sets of the letters, I and U, one out of cardstock from the Hello Sunshine Remix paper pad, and another out of red cardstock. I die cut two sets of hearts from the same cardstock as the letters. I glued the red underneath the patterned die cuts and adhered it onto the card. I also added a smaller heart on top of the larger heart for dimension.

For the shaker envelope, I used shaker pockets that I had in my stash from Tonic Studios. The pockets were 5″x7″ so I had to trim the pockets to fit the card. You can also use clear poly bags. I scored the pocket along the edges of the card and trimmed the edges. I used an embossing buddy to remove static and then added leftover sprinkles from my previous cookie card along with a few table confetti hearts. I removed the orange backing, folded the 4 tabs and pressed the tabs onto the back of the card.

I cut a piece of vellum 1.2″ x 7″ and wrapped it around the bottom of the shaker pouch. I added a border by attaching the shaker pouch to cardstock from the Hello Sunshine Remix paper pad. I then glued on the skunk and accessories coloured with Copics (listed below). I finished off the card by adding a heat embossed white sentiment on red cardstock.
