Shaving Cream Birthday Card

This technique is an oldie but a goodie.  Drop a few drops of reinker into a pile of shaving cream, tap glossy cardstock into it, wipe off excess shaving cream and voila.  No two cards will be alike.  I used Melon Mambo, Rich Razzleberry, and Pumpkin Pie.

More Kids' Cards

Here is another batch of favorites.  The crimper was a fun tool for the kids to use, and they liked choosing their stamps and coloring the beach scene.  The orange card used the shaving cream technique.  We waited until the last day to do that one, and it was one of my favorites because of the reactions to each and everyone's piece of glossy cardstock being pulled out of the shaving cream.  No two were alike!

Cheers to You with Shaving Cream

This card is a Stamp Club project from sometime last year, but I pulled it out since it uses 3 soon to be retired colors - Pixie Pink, Only Orange and Yo-Yo Yellow.  I am sure it was my inspiration for this recent card since it is hanging up in my stamping studio.

To create the shaving cream background, squirt some shaving cream onto a paper plate, dot with reinkers of your choice and place your piece of glossy cardstock on top of it. When you peel it up, you will leave shaving cream on the cardstock. Wipe the excess shaving cream off and you will end up with a background similar to this one. The same shaving cream can create a few backgrounds before you will have to reink or simply replace the shaving cream and start over.

With such a unique background and Crystal Effects on the drink, it is easy to put together a striking card - even with only a small amount of stamping.

Supplies: Cheers to You stamp set, Pixie, Pink, Only Orange, Yo-Yo Yellow cardstock, ink and reinkers, Whisper White and Glossy White cardstock, shaving cream, Crystal Effects, Real Red marker, ticket corner punch
