I am so excited to share the cards I made with the Queen & Company Special Delivery shaker card kit. When I first saw the kit, I knew I had to have it! The main piece in the kit is an old fashioned pick-up truck. You can use the truck to make cards for many occasions including birthdays, Thanksgiving (or fall), Christmas, and Valentine’s Day.
The Special Delivery shaker card kit comes with a 6×6 paper pad, a 6 x 9 clear stamp set with 18 sentiments, 24 dies, 12 foam shakers with acetate covers, and 10 toppings. Below are pictures of the cards I created with this fabulous kit. There is also a video tutorial below.
Hello! Today on my blog I am sharing three Halloween cards that I made.
To see the YouTube video, click the video below or read below for a detailed description of each card.
For two of the cards, I used the Stamp Anniething Sofia – Viva la Vida stamp. I stamped the image onto Spectrum Noir Ultra Smooth Card Stock and colored with alcohol markers and then fussy cut the image. The card base is a back slimline card (4 x 9 inches). I cut a piece of Bristol Smooth paper slightly smaller than the card base to do the ink blending. The distress ink colors I used for the blended background are Black Soot, Chipped Sapphire, Festive Berries, Carved Pumpkin, and Scattered Straw. After ink blending the background, I used a paintbrush to flick some water onto the background and then padded the paper with a power towel to dry up the water. This added a speckled look to the background. I stamped the sentiment “Have a Very Frightful & Delightful Halloween” using Versafine Onyx Black Ink onto the blended background and then covered it with black embossing powder. I used a heat gun to emboss the background. I added the images as shown. The fence die cuts are from the Doodlebug Pumpkin Party Odds and Ends pack and were adhered using Tombow Liquid Glue.
For the next card, I used a piece of black card stock to make the A2 size card base (4.25″ x 5.5″). The paper is from the Recollections Boo Paper Pad. I cut down the newspaper pattered paper slightly smaller than the A2 size card base and distressed the edges. I also applied Black Soot distress ink to the edges. The scalloped frame is a Lawn Fawn die – Scalloped Rectangle Frames. I used this die to die cut the spiderweb paper on the inside of the frame as well as the black card stock (scallops on the outside of the frame). I adhered the scallops to the A2 card base and then added the spider web paper to the middle. I used foam adhesive to adhere the stamped image. I added two spiderweb stickers to the front of the card.
For the inside, I cut a piece of gray card stock just slightly smaller than the A2 size, distressed the edges, and added Black Soot ink to the edges. I stamped the sentiments as shown with black and purple ink. The sentiments are from Queen and Company’s Hocus Pocus Shaker Kit.
For the third card, I used the Polkadoodles Winnie Magic and Winnie Broomstick stamps which I stamped onto the Spectrum Noir Ultra Smooth card stock and colored with alcohol markers. I then fussy cut the images and set them aside.
I used another slimline card base and the Bristol Smooth paper to do the ink blending. The colors I used for the ink blended background are Black Soot, Wilted Violet, and Carved Pumpkin. After ink blending the background, I used a paintbrush to flick some water onto the background and then padded the paper with a power towel to dry up the water. This added a speckled look to the background.
The witch pot is a shaker piece from Queen and Company’s Fright Fest shaker kit. It is actually the pumpkin basket shaker piece, but for this card I am using it as a witch pot. I cut two small pieces for the legs of the pot with black card stock and adhered them as shown. The shaker bits are also from Queen and Company and linked below. I used liquid glue to adhere some the shaker pieces to the front of the card.
I stamped the sentiment using Versafine Onyx Black Ink onto the blended background and then covered it with black embossing powder. I used a heat gun to emboss the background. I added the images as shown.
I had so much fun playing with the Hocus Pocus Halloween Kit from Queen & Co.
Queen & Co. creates fabulous shaker cards for the card maker. They are so easy to put together! Today on my blog, I am showcasing 15 cards that I created using this kit. (The kit comes a 6×6 paper pad with 24 double sided sheets, clear stamp set, 18 dies, 21 foam shakers with acetate covers, and 16 toppings.) Below are pictures of the cards I created with this fabulous kit.

This is video tutorial on how to make shaker cards using Queen & Company’s “Mom” shaker kit. The kit includes shaker pieces to make 12 shaker cards, however, you can make more than that since it also includes the dies for you to make your own shaker elements or die cut pieces. In the video, I will make four shaker cards, using each of the four different shaker elements included with the kit. All supplies are linked below.
Here’s another card using a beautiful stamp from the Paper Nest Dolls. This one is called “Ballgown Avery.” My son asked me to make him a card for his friend’s Quinceañera and I immediately knew this stamp would be perfect since Avery is dressed in a ballgown. I tried to replicate my son’s friend as best as I could, coloring her dress red and hair brown. After all, red was the color of her actual dress.
Here’s a look at the inside of the card.
For a tutorial on how I made this card, watch my YouTube video here:
Echo Park Sweet Summertime 6 x 6 Paper Pad (Red Paper) – I used the 6 x 6 paper pad. I could only find a link to the 12 x 12 paper – https://amzn.to/2SMxp2c
White Doily – Recollections – Purchased at Michaels
Anna Griffin Perfect Palette II in Everyday Colors (yellow card stock) – This item is sold out on HSN. Any yellow card stock will suffice.
The Stamps of Life Punch Number dies – HSN (for the number “15” on the inside of the card) – These are sold out on HSN. At this time, they cannot be purchased on the Stamps of Life website.
Tim Holtz Thinlits 662685 (for the word “happy” on the inside of the card) – https://amzn.to/30VBvbc
Anna Griffin’s Wishful Thinking dies (for the “th” on the inside of the card) – I could not find a link to this item. I purchased it on HSN. I believe it is out of stock.
Today on my blog I am sharing a card that I made for my BFF. When her and I get together, we always go to the beach and eat ice cream so I incorporated these two items into this card. Besides crafting, these are my other favorite things to do!
Polka Dot Paper – Echo Park Sweet Summertime 6 x 6 paper – https://amzn.to/32NaxEo (This link is to the 12 x 12 paper pad. I used the 6 x 6 paper pad. I could not find it online.)
Here is a another birthday card that I made using a stamp from The Paper Nest Dolls. This stamp is called Cupcake Avery. I also incorporated some of Anna Griffin’s elegant dies and papers and Queen and Company’s flower embellishments.
The card base is from Anna Griffin’s 6 x 6 Perfect Pattern Card Set. The color matches perfectly with the green copic markers that I used to color her dress.
The large square die cut is from Anna Griffin’s All Square Cut and Emboss Dies. First, I die cut shadow layer in the purple glitter card stock. I applied double sided adhesive to the top solid purple layer before running it through the die cut machine. This made it easier to adhere to the glitter paper. The green lace die cuts are from the Anna Griffin Lace Edge Die Set and I followed the same procedure as previously stated.
Using hot glue, I adhered the flower embellishments to the front of the card.
Here is a birthday card that I made using The Paper Nest Dolls Ice Cream Emma stamp. The Paper Nest Dolls has such adorable stamps. They remind me of the Holly Hobbie dolls that I had when I was a little girl. And who doesn’t love a shaker element on their cards?? The ice cream shaker element is from Queen and Company and goes perfectly with the ice cream theme.
Spectrum Noir Ultra Smooth Card Stock – This is the card stock I use for coloring with alcohol markers. I stamped the image on this card stock and then colored with Copic markers.
