Rainbow Egg Shaker Mini Slimline Card

Today I am sharing a bright and cheerful Easter shaker card using Trinity Stamps. I started with a 3 by 6 inch piece of white cardstock and blended a soft rainbow using Distress Oxides in Saltwater Taffy, Squeezed Lemonade, Cracked Pistachio, Salvaged Patina, and Shaded Lilac with my Trinity Stamps Blending Buddies. Once the colors were blended, I spritzed the panel with water and Hero Arts White Iridescent Shimmer Mist to add texture and sparkle. I gently dabbed up the excess moisture with a towel and set the panel aside to dry completely.

Next, I created the shaker panel. I cut a 2 by 6 inch strip of white cardstock and used the egg die from the Easter Basket Add On die set from Trinity Stamps to cut three egg windows. I adhered a piece of acetate to the back of that panel to create the shaker front. Using 3mm foam adhesive strips, I built the shaker well and filled it with Aurora and Green Gleam chunky shreds flat confetti and a few star confetti pieces for extra sparkle. I sealed the shaker and adhered the panel slightly off center onto the rainbow background so more of the color could peek through on one side. For the sentiment, I stamped “Have an egg-cellent Easter” from the Egg-ceptional Sentiments stamp set using Nocturne Versafine Clair ink and cut them out with their coordinating dies. I adhered the sentiment to the shaker panel and then attached the entire piece to a mini slimline card base measuring 3 by 6 inches.

High Fidelity Inspired Record Card

Thanks for joining me in my craft room today for a quick Fandom Friday project. I actually started this card earlier during our March 2026 Crafty Besties livestream and decided to finish it up afterward. I wanted to lean into one of my husband’s favorite movies and create a High Fidelity inspired card that I can give him later this year for a birthday or anniversary. I used the Drop the Needle die and stencil set from the Hero Arts Handmade Holiday workshop kit and built a large vinyl record as the focal point. During the livestream I completed most of the die cutting, stenciling, and ink blending, and in today’s video I walk through the final assembly and finishing touches.

To finish the card, I created a custom sentiment on Canva that matched the orange tone from the movie poster and printed it at home. I die cut the sentiment circle using a Trinity Stamps Emergency Card Essentials circle die to help it fit perfectly inside the record center. I layered the pieces of the record together and added a tiny gray circle for the spindle detail. The record sits on an A2 kraft cardstock panel that compliments the black record with a stenciled shimmer and subtle iridescent shine around the edges using a pigment ink cube. I glued the sentiment label slightly at an angle so it feels like the record is spinning, then added the label die cut and trimmed the excess where it overlapped the edge of the card. Once everything was assembled, I adhered the panel to an A2 card base and the design was finished. It’s a simple card, but the music theme and subtle shine make it feel really special.

Hoppy Spring Bunny Card with Pretty Pink Posh

Today is another throwback card I made for Pretty Pink Posh using the Layered Bunny Faces with a white pigment ink for Stencil (A) with the bunny shapes, Black Soot Distress Oxide for Stencil (B) with the bunny face details, and Rosy Cheeks Lunar Paste for Stencil (C) with the bunny ears and nose! I used kraft cardstock as I thought it would be so fun to have the bunnies in white.

When the stenciled bunnies were dry, I trimmed the panel to 4-1/4x5-1/2” (A2 size). I cut Bunny Face Shaker dies from white, black and pink cardstock to create a matching bunny face to the stenciled panel. I also cut the second largest Eyelet Circle out of pink cardstock, the carrots from Big Easter Cupcake in green and orange cardstock, and finally my Sentiment Strips out of white cardstock. I used “Hoppy Spring” from the Sentiment Strips: Easter stamp set!

Lucky Layers with the March 2026 SheetLoad

Hi friends! Today I am sharing my take on the March 2026 SheetLoad of Cards along with my brand new Lucky Charms digital paper collection designed by my daughter, Abi, for my YouTube Members. This month’s patterns include Lucky Charms, Leprechaun Plaid, and Good Luck Charms, and I printed them full size so I could really show them off. I followed the SheetLoad sketch to cut my panels and strips, using Leprechaun Plaid for the accent strips and alternating between the two charm patterns for the backgrounds. I die cut arches from Trinity Stamps and trimmed them to match the sketch measurements, then added a thin scalloped border along the bottom to hide where I shortened the die cut and to add a sweet little detail.

To give the green cardstock strips a special touch without using glitter paper, I brushed clear shimmer only along the edges that would peek out from behind the patterned strips. It gives the illusion that the whole strip is sparkly while keeping things simple. I also blended a soft gold sheen around the edges of the background using interference ink for a subtle glow. Once the strips were adhered, I popped the arch up with low profile foam adhesive and let it overlap slightly for dimension. I love that tiny bit of lift against the layered background.

For the focal point, I die cut clovers from the Little Charms die set and stamped the word lucky from the My Lucky Charm stamp set using a yellow pigment ink. When it stamped lighter than I expected, I sprinkled on super fine gold embossing powder and heat set it for a rich metallic finish. I layered the lucky die cut twice for thickness, angled it across the arch, and tucked clovers around the letters with a bit of curled dimension. A few enamel dots finished the design, and I mounted each panel onto an A2 card base. Be sure to watch the embedded video to see the full process and hop along with the rest of the creative team for even more March inspiration.
