Thankful Shaker Card With TPD Stamps

Have I got a fun project for you today!  I'm back with another spotlight on Two Paper Divas Stamps with a fun, mini shaker card.  I had such a blast making this, seriously, I did.  Plus, I love that it showcases another way of using the Journal It!1 stamp set with that little word, "thankful".   It's been a super hot and muggy summer, here in the South, and I am begging Fall to hurry up and get here.  With that being said, I definitely had Autumn on my mind when I made this. 




The easiest way for me to stamp multiples of a word is to lay down a strip of washi tape so everything lines up easily.   I prefer washi tape because it's easily removable and I have a pretty good stash, but you can use any kind of removable tape.  I stamped one line at a time, then dropped my washi tape down another line and repeated the process until I had enough stamped words to cut a
3" x 3" square.  I simply eyeballed how far I needed to drop down my tape but if you prefer to measure, it's approximately 3/4". 




Before cutting my square, I wanted to go ahead and color my words using my Kaisercraft gel and glitter pens.  I snagged these recently and LOVE them.  The pens have a super fine tip and were perfect for this project.  I chose 3 Fall-ish colors to fit in with my Thanksgiving theme.  Let me tell you, those glitter pens really make my stamped words sparkle. 


When I finished, I cut a 3"x3" square using my Cuttlebug and my Spellbinders Celebrations pierced square dies, at an angle.  Scroll to the bottom for a full supply list for all the items that I used.

I think these mini shakers would make a fun little place card at the Thanksgiving table, don't you?  You could even add a little tag with each family members name.  Festive and fun!  Stretch your journaling stamps and give this a try.  Stop back by this weekend; the new August stamps will be released at Two Paper Divas on 8/5 and 8/6 and there will be lots of fabulous samples from the design team.
