AWH January Creative Showcase: New Catalogues

 Hi!


Thanks for joining me for the first monthly AWH Creative Showcase for 2021. This month we are focussed on the two new catalogues: The January-June Mini Catalogue, and the Sale-A-Bration Catalogue. There is a wealth of inspiration and gorgeous product in both. 

A couple of months ago, when I first saw the catalogue, my eye was immediately caught by the new Ice Cream Corner Suite. It's rare that I buy a whole suite, but I couldn't resist this one. I especially like the cute Ice Cream Corner Sprinkles. They aren't sequins, but more a tiny rubbery disc. They look cute glued on as sprinkles on an ice cream, but I wondered how they'd go in a shaker card.

Wonder no more - they are great! They don't have the static issues that a lot of other shaker 'fillers' have. To create the opening for my shaker element, I punched some of the ice cream shapes and used temporary adhesive to hold them to my Thick Basic White Cardstock. I used my electronic cutting machine to scan the shape and then cut it out. If you don't have a machine, you could trace around the shape with a pencil and use your Snips to cut it out.

The trickiest part was getting the ice cream and the cone I'd stamped and punched for the back of the shaker lined up with the opening. This is where liquid glue is very handy, as it gives you time to adjust the position of the piece. I finished the front with a die cut from Well Written Dies. You may see that I tried it first in Blackberry Bliss, but I didn't like it so I just adhered a Bermuda Bay die cut over the top. The Blackberry layer is a bit like a shadow.

Hehe, I couldn't help but use this combination of sentiment and sprinkles on the inside. It was just too cute to resist!

That's all from me for tonight, but please pop on over to Rachel's Blog, where you'll find the rest of the links for this months' Creative Showcase. There's lots of wonderful ways to see the new products used.

Bye for now,

Tina
