August 2021 Whit Kit – Just keep Swimming

Hi Crafty Friends! I wanted to stop in and share I am up on the Unity Stamp Company blog today sharing a fun shaker card using the adorable August 2021 Whit Kit – Just Keep Swimming! I had so much fun creating a couple cards already with mainly just contents from the kit! I wanted to stop in here and share them with you!

Each month Unity Stamp Company releases a new Whit Kit – they are awesome! They include a stamp set, pattern paper, other goodies that vary each month! What I love is that I can try new products out, which is always fun to me! This month I was super excited to try the Tonic Shaker Pouches! I have been seeing so many awesome cool and creative flat shaker cards lately and these make creating shaker cards so easy! You can see this month’s kit here – April 2021 Just Keep Swimming! So let’s get started!

I started by stamping the adorable turtle from the kit.  I stamped the turtle onto Canson XL watercolor card.  I stamped the image using embossing ink.  Next I heat set the image using gold embossing powder.  I then colored the turtle using my Karin Markers.  Once my coloring was complete I trimmed the image with my scan and cut.

Next I taped a piece of watercolor card stock onto my hard board.  I used the Nuvo Shimmer powder (Atlantis Burst) included in the kit to create the background!  This powder is amazing and so beautiful!  I gently tapped a small amount in various sections of the paper.  I then spritzed it with water.  I allowed it to dry, then reapplied again to gain some more movement and color.  Once it was dry, I stamped the Ocean Waves background in various sections with embossing ink and heat set using Mai Tai powder.  I did cut this in half once dried, to create my second card.

Next I started to work on the shaker pouch elements!  The kit this month includes the shaker pouches and I was so excited to try these!  Let me tell you, they are awesome!  The pouches are 5×7 inches, so I did cut them in half so I could create 2 cards using 1 pouch.  Since I cut it in half, I just used strong adhesive on the one side (since it was cut) to ensure it would close!  These pouches are amazing though!  I added my nuvo background inside, closed 3 sides on the pouch, added shaker elements, then adhered the last side together.

To complete my card I die cut a piece of pattern paper from the kit with a scallop die and adhered this to the card base.  I adhered the shaker pouch on top.  Next I die cut two circles and heat embossed one using the Mai Tai powder.  Finally I adhered the turtle and the circle elements.  To complete the card I chose a sentiment from the kit and heat embossed this in gold powder!

Here is another card example I made using contents from this amazing kit!
