Enjoy the Flight

 

Add a twist to your card with a Double Shaker Window

This little Altenew Mini Delight stamp and die set, "Enjoy the Flight", is so fun for travelers like me! I was so happy to play around with it. 

Start with the inside: I used the world stamp with a gradient of colors from dark to light (Andromeda, Starlight, Tide Blue, Turquoise) on white cardstock. To make it shiny, I embossed it with Crystal Clear embossing powder. Cut this out and set aside for later. 

Die cut the airplane using gray cardstock for the base, silver metallic, and two shades of purple. I chose these shades to add an unexpected twist of color and pick up some of the purple shade of Andromeda used in the world stamp that would peek through the window. 

Next, I used the Liquid Marble stencil with Morning Frost ink on a white cardstock panel. Morning Frost ink is a perfect light warm gray. 

                                            Making a Double Shaker Window

Following the technique to make a double shaker window from the Altenew Adacemy class "With a Twist,  I die cut the same size circle from the marbled panel and the top panel of my card. TIP: To be sure these circles will line up, cut the circle from the card panel first, then use it to align the die for cutting from the marble panel. 

Adhere acetate flat behind marble panel window, then use foam tape to outline the circle window and keep shaker bits in. I used some chunky iridescent glitter and sequins, then adhered a second piece of acetate to sandwich the bits inside. Match and adhere this shaker panel to the card panel, aligning the circle window. Now you have a shaker enclosed in the top portion of the card!

Finally, align the world stamped die so it will show through the window and adhere to the inside of the card. The front of my card still needed something so I added a dark blue circular frame around the window. Finish it off with the airplane die cut, a sentiment, and some enamel dot stars. 

My two cents: Once again the Altenew Mini Delight stamp and die set goes a long way!  It is a very reasonable price for those on a budget or for anyone new to crafting who doesn't want to dive into the more expensive sets. You could use this for graduation cards and masculine cards as well. It comes with sentiments: hello, enjoy, sending hugs, missing you, safe travels, flying by to say hi and the sentiment I used (life is a journey, enjoy the flight)
