For today's card, I created a fun and sweet shaker card for Trinity Stamps that also fits the prompts from Craft Roulette Episode 280. I started by cutting my card base using the Trinity Stamps Arch Shaped Card Die Set. From there, I layered three arch panels: a blue piece, a teal piece, and a yellow star-patterned piece, all from Scrapbook.com’s Birthday 6x8 Paper Pad. For the focal point, I stamped the candy jar from the Candy Jar stamp set twice with Bali Blue ink, along with several little candies in a mix of bright ink colors in greens and blue. Using the coordinating coloring stencils, I blended Stellar Inks, giving depth and detail to both jars and the candies. After die cutting, I turned the jars into a shaker using acetate, foam strips, and the Shimmer Stars confetti mix from Trinity Stamps, along with the die-cut candy pieces glued inside for extra detail.

To complete the card, I die cut the word “sweet” using the Modern Embossed Alphabet die set. At first, I layered teal letters on the base of the card, but to make the sentiment pop, I added another layer cut from green star-patterned paper with a slight ink-blended shadow. I then stamped and fussy cut “sending you” and “thoughts,” arranging them around the candy jar so the card reads “Sending you sweet thoughts.” Finally, I adhered all the layers to my shaped card base and finished with a few transparent sparkle enamel dots to add shine. The end result is a bright and cheerful 5x7 card featuring a playful shaker element that’s full of sweetness and fun.
