Shaker and tunnel cards with Elle's Studio new metal dies

 Hello friends, I am here to share with you two cards I created for Elle's Studio with their new Photograph metal dies. As soon as I saw these new dies, I was inspired to create a shaker card and a tunnel card.

Supplies: May 2022 Kit, The Best 6x8.5 Paper Stack, Love You 6x8.5 Paper Stack, Warm Solids 6x8.5 Paper Stack, Warm Puffy Heart and Star Stickers, Photograph Stamp, Photograph Metal Die, Layered Card Metal Die, Banners Metal Dies

For the shaker pocket card, I used one of the Photograph dies to create the frame and stamped on it using the matching Photograph stamp set. 

I raised it with foam adhesive over the trimmed "Love you mom!" filler card from the May kit. The window is made of a page protector cut to the size of the frame.

For the finishing touches, I just added a puffy heart outline from the Warm Puffy Heart and Star Sticker pack and little banners perfectly cut thanks to my Banners Metal Dies.

I recently discovered tunnel cards (Thank you Sharon!) and the fact that the Photograph Metal Dies include three sizes of the same shape make it perfect to create one. I adapted a tutorial found on You Tube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qAxaNSwlsvs) using white cardstock and papers from three different Elle's Studio paper stacks: Warm Solids, Love You and The Best.


For the sentiment in the middle, I used diecuts from the May kit along with the "flash" diecut from the Photograph set, stamped with a tiny heart from the stamp set of the same name.

I absolutely love the 3D effect and the fact that you can just fold it flat to fit into an envelope.



I hope to have inspired you to try these fun types of cards, whether you have this specific dies or another set with multiple sizes.
