Today I am sharing three cards using supplies from the September Card kit by SimonSaysStamp.
What I love about those kits is that you get supplies you wouldn’t normally order as a cardmaker/mixed media artist. So I fell in love with those acetate 3×4 cards!
Although they are supposed to be used on project life, I can not think a better acetate to use for your shaker cards! The kit also comes with gesso and I will be sharing a couple of ways to use it creatively in your cards.
CARD 1:
For my first card I paper pieced the balloons and used the adorable patterned paper from the kit. I have also used gesso over the stencil to create a white on white embossed effect for my card base.
CARD 2:
For the second card I used a lovely 3×4 acetate card to create a shaker window. I have also used gesso to add some splashes and make the background more interesting.
CARD 3:
Another shaker card using a colorful patterned paper and a beautiful acetate card. For the sentiment I die cut the word hello and placed it directly on the acetate.
For a step by step tutorial on creating this card you can watch the video below or on my YouTube channel

You always do the most inspired, cute, fun, whimsical cards; I enjoy your tutorials.
Wonderful cards. I like your use of gesso and the acetate panels for shaker cards.
Vicky, what are you doing with all these wonderful cards?
Do you store them or do you have enough family members to give them away?:)
Some of them I store them by category (birthday cards, thank you cards etc) so I can grab them when I need them. Others I frame them and put them on my craft room wall. And most of them I email them to friends all over the world or hand them out to close friends and family here!
I’ve been resisting spending any more $ on crafts for the month, but I may have to give in and buy this, you’ve convinced me with your genius use of the papers included in this kit. Thanks, Vicki for your inspiration.
Love you cards!
Beautiful cards! Especially loved the third card! It is so very bright and cheerful!
