1 Kit 3 Cards | Queen and Co. Art Days Shaped Shaker Kit

Hi everyone! It has been raining all day today so I thought it was the perfect day to share some rainbow bright cards!

Everything here is made with the Queen & Co. Art Days Kit (and other Queen and Co goodies--all linked down below!)
This kit makes it really easy to create artsy shakers. The shapes include an artist's palette, a paint brush and an easel. Included in the kit is a sweet sentiment stamp set with lots of positive, happy messages!
I customized all of my shakers with black cardstock on top because I love the way they pop on the bright, colorful backgrounds!
But, since the dies are included in the kit, you can choose any colors you LOVE!

I used a couple of different Toppings (shaker goodies) inside my shakers. These Bitty Buttons are SO cute!
Check out the full video here where I'll walk you through the contents of the kit and how to create each shaped shaker!
If you're interested in the supplies I used, they are linked below! Have a wonderful, colorful day!

WAFFLE FLOWER February 2020 RELEASE BLOG HOP + GIVEAWAY!

HI everyone! It's release day and WOWEE do we have a packed hop for you today! There is tons of inspiration from the team and there are a TON of fun stamps and dies available today!
Let's start with the Floral Bundle this month:
I adore the Potted Lily Stamp Set. Flowers in a pot is such a cute idea. I loved coloring and decorating them. The other combo in the Floral Bundle is the Simply Plaids Combo and I used the Plaid Texture Die as my background here and ink blended over it with Abandoned Coral Distress Oxide ink.
For this one I used the single bloom from the stamp set. I stamped and colored it twice and included it in the Spring Basket Die (which is from the Creative Bundle).

Next up is the Whimsical Bundle and oh my gosh how cute are the Jars of Happiness?!


I had so much fun creating water effects with my coloring and shading and then I added a ton of Tonic Studios Nuvo Crystal Glaze.

The second combo in the Whimsical Bundle is Rejoice Rabbit, which is an adorable Easter/Spring Set. (Also notice the basket again lol, I promise we are almost there and will talk about it soon, but Rejoice Rabbit fits perfectly inside.

Next up is the Creative Bundle which is packed with dies this month. We have Rainbow Birthday and Easy 3D Bows. I used both with some yardstick strips to create a present on my card.


We also have the Over the Fence Die which is a 3 die set including the picket fence, a sign for the fence and the grass.  And we have the Be a Cat die which is a larger die version of the kitty from Big Bear & Bird's Be Her Stamp Set! The way that the Be a Cat die cuts the arms, the kitty can be peeking over the fence. :)

Last but not least is the Spring Basket Die. I told you we'd get here eventually lol! The Spring Basket Die cuts out the basket, basket handle, two sizes of eggs, a tag for the basket, chocolate bunny, and mini bow. I used all the dies except the tag and added some Over the Fence Grass too! I ink blended my background again over the Plaid Texture Die. I added a TON of Crystal Glaze to the bunny to make it look like shiny chocolate!

I also made a video where I share all the products so you can see them up close, the samples I created and show you how to create the Simply Plaids background in a continuous stamping to create a large panel as well as how to put the Be a Cat Die together. You can check it out here:
