For today’s Sassy Saturday card, I had a blast playing with The Sassy Club’s ICEE stamp set and their checkered stencil. I began by stenciling the checkered pattern on white cardstock using Candied Apple and Salty Ocean Distress Inks. Since the stencil is smaller than a mini slimline card, I had to stencil twice to cover my panel. Once finished, I die cut the panel with the largest mini slimline stitched layer die from Popsiclesticks and adhered it to my 3 ½" x 6 ½" card base. For my shaker element, I cut the mini slimline scalloped frame from white glitter cardstock and layered vellum behind it before turning it into a shaker filled with red, white, blue, and iridescent sequins from my stash. The vellum softens the sequins beautifully, giving them a frosted effect.

Next, I stamped the block stamps with Candied Apple and Salty Ocean inks again, masking to layer them together. Then I tried to make a fun drop-shadow effect using Twilight VersaFine Clair ink and heating embossing the sentiment again but in white embossing powder, then fussy cut it out. For my images, I stamped the Sassy Club ICEE bear mascot, his drink, two raspberries, and two cherries in alcohol-marker friendly black ink and colored them in with markers before fussy cutting. I arranged all of the stamped images and sentiment across the shaker panel, popping some up with foam tape for dimension. To finish, I added a few extra sequins on the card front for sparkle. This colorful shaker makes such a fun summer card and was the perfect project for Sassy Saturday!
