MFT Stamps Breast Cancer Awareness Release Spotlight: Jenoblade Bee Strong Shaker Card

 

Hello, Crafty Friends! I'm back with a circle-shaped card featuring elements from the awesome new Breast Cancer Awareness Release. 

I'm Here For You! I thought the fun shaker design would help brighten the day a bit for the recipient. 

I am so in love with the new Jenoblade Bee Strong set that I colored up another one of the many images for today's card. This set is seriously big and has a total of 6 adorable bee images! I think the images are versatile enough to be used for a variety of other occasions ... Valentine's Day, birthday, anniversary just to name a few. 

I stamped the images from the Jenoblade Bee Strong set onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb card stock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I colored the images with Copic markers and accented with gel pens. I used the coordinating Jenoblade Bee Strong Die-namics to cut them out.

COPIC COLORS:

Bees: Y00/11/13/08 V12, RV00/02/04, RV02, BG10

Ribbon: RV02/04/06/09

For the sentiment, I stamped one of the sentiments from the new Breast Wishes Stamp set with MFT Extreme Black ink onto a piece of white cardstock. I fussy cut the sentiment with a pair of sharp scissors. 

For the shaker, I taped the fourth and fifth largest dies from the A2 Stitched Circle STAX Die-namics together in order to diecut some circle frames out of white cardstock. I diecut a total of seven frames since I knew that I had to create a rather deep shaker well since the shaker bits that I wanted to use were quite big. For a regular sequin-filled shaker, five frames would have been more than sufficient. I also used the larger of the two circle dies to diecut two circles out of white cardstock and one circle out of clear acetate. 

I took one of the white circle panels and lightly ink blended with Spun Sugar and Kitsch Flamingo Distress Oxide inks. I set that aside to dry. 

I adhered six of the seven circle frames together with liquid adhesive. Then I adhered them to the inked circle to create the shaker well. I filled the shaker well with my shaker bits. I carefully added some liquid adhesive to the top of the shaker wall and closed off the shaker with the clear acetate circle. Finally, I adhered the last of the circle frames on top of the clear acetate also with liquid adhesive. 

I took the last white circle and scored a line one-half inch from the edge. I placed a strong double-sided tape to the small segment and adhered it to the back of the shaker to create a card base. If you wanted to add a sentiment to the inside, it would be best to stamp that onto the scored circle before adhering it to the shaker.

Finally, I adhered the colored images and sentiment to the top of the acetate window.
