It's Day 3 of Newton's Nook Designs 5 Year Celebration and I'm so happy to have you join me today! We have 2 new stamp sets to share with you that join the family of giant stamp sets including Woof Pack and Company of Cats.
Be Fabulous Shaker Card | Flamingo Flock Stamp Set
First up we have Flamingo Flock! If one flamingo is fun, then you know a whole flock of them is bound to be fabulous! For this card and the second one I'm sharing today, I created a shaker card using Newton's Nook Designs Double Sided Foam Adhesive and Acetate Sheets.
I began by stamping the Flamingo Flock image onto watercolor paper with Black Versafine Ink. I then heat embossed it with clear embossing powder. Next, I colored in the flamingos using Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers and a water brush. Once all of the coloring was completed, I die cut the piece using the large scallop edged die from the Frames & Flags Die Set. For the sentiment piece, I die cut a piece of black cardstock using the ticket die from the Framework Die Set. I then stamped the sentiment with Versamark Embossing Ink and heat set it with white embossing powder. Finally, I adhered it with double sided foam tape to the center of the image.
To create the shaker part, I used Therm O Web Purple Tape to hold together the large scallop edged die and the stitched rectangle die from the Frames & Flags Die Set. I then die cut a piece of white cardstock and a piece of the Double Sided Foam Adhesive with this to create the shaker window.
Next, I trimmed a piece of Acetate to size and adhered it to the top of the foam piece. For a touch of color, I inked the edges of the die cut scallop piece with Distress Oxide in Worn Lipstick. I then adhered this piece on top of the acetate.
I then poured some sequins and beads on top of the stamped Flamingo image making sure to keep them to the center of the piece. Next, I adhered the shaker frame on top of the stamped image. I then finished off the card by adhered the shaker piece to a piece of coordinating cardstock.

Frenzy of Fun Shaker Card | Shark Frenzy Stamp Set
As I mentioned, I also created a shaker card with the Shark Frenzy Stamp Set as well. The main difference here, besides the stamp set, is that I used the large postage edged die from the Framework Die Set to create the shaker box.
For the coloring, I again used the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. I find these to be a quick way to add color to such a large image. As you can see, I went with a blue and gray color theme to fit with the shark image. I carried the color theme through on the sequins, jewels, ink and cardstock.
