Stamp Anniething: I Love You a Bushel and a Peck

Apple season has started here in Northern California. Just about 50 miles from where I live is a place called Apple Hill. There are 50 family farms that sell apples and other fruits, vegetables, baked goods, wine, jams, and much more. Local crafters have booths and during the fall months, there are activities for children. I just love visiting Apple Hill! The card I made features a Stamp Anniething stamp called Joanie - A Bushel and a Peck. She reminds me of my daughter when she was younger visiting Apple Hill. I also made a coordinating treat bag using a SVG file from Stamp Anniething's sister site, SVG Cutting Files, called Kawaii Apple Bag. A perfect little gift for my daughter! 

To make this fun shaker card, I first stamped Joanie on white cardstock, used the coordinating outline die to cut her out, then colored her with Copic markers. I used a white gel pen to add some lines to the scarf.

Copic Markers Used

Red: R39, R29, R22, R24

Stems: E44, E42

To make the shaker portion of the card, I first used the Foilage Leave Stencil and texture paste for the frame and back of the shaker. I used Ranger Texture Paste and added a light green fine glitter and mixed it in. After it dried, I cut it using the square die from Shaker Basics Set #2. I then cut 5 more frames out of white cardstock to build up the shaker. I cut out a piece of acetate and used 1/4" Double Sided Tear Away Tape to adhere the acetate to the frame. Then I used the same tape to adhere all the frames together. You can use liquid glue, but I find I make a mess sometimes. I filled the shaker with Itty Bitty Beads (Green) and Apple Sprinkles (currently out of stock).

I used the Card Mat Die to cut the red polka dot paper from the Summer Tropics Paper Pad. I adhered it to the A2 card base using liquid glue. I stamped the sentiment, then trimmed it. I added a red cardstock mat behind it then adhered it to the card front with foam tape.  I adhered the shaker with double sided adhesive. I also adhered Joanie onto the shake using double sided adhesive.  To finish the card, I add one of the Apple Sprinkles onto the sentiment. 

For the Kawaii Apple Bag, I exported the SVG into Silhouette Studio and then cut it using colored cardstock using my Silhouette Cameo. I glued all the pieces together using liquid glue then added a small bag of Hershey's Kisses to the box.

Thank you for visiting today! I hope you give this card a try. Shaker cards and treat boxes are so fun and quite easy to make. Have a creative week!
