My Sweet Petunia

We’re delighted to welcome Deniz back to the My Sweet Petunia blog, where she’s serving up a charming card project that’s equal parts playful and heartwarming. Today’s design captures the nostalgic comfort of milk and cookies with a creative shaker twist, combining soft pastel tones, thoughtful layering, and just the right touch of sparkle. It’s a wonderful showcase of how precision tools and a bit of imagination can come together to create something truly special.

Hello lovely crafty friends! I’m back on the My Sweet Petunia blog today sharing this sweet little shaker card that’s giving all the cozy milk-and-cookies vibes 

I used the suite of products from Hero Arts featuring the Spilled Milk stamp set along with the coordinating milk, cookies, and milk carton dies to build this playful scene.

To create the “glass of milk,” I die cut the opening from my front panel and backed it with acetate that I tinted using a light blue Copic marker. It adds just the softest milky look while still keeping that translucent feel. 

Next, I cut my cookies from beige and brown cardstock and assembled the milk carton using soft pinks for a sweet, pastel touch. Before committing, I played around with placement, then popped the carton into my MISTI Stamping Tool to stamp the sentiment.

And truly, this is where the MISTI shines. Being able to stamp (and re-stamp!) until everything is crisp and perfect is my absolute favourite feature. It definitely saved the day here!

To finish things off, I added foam tape for dimension and filled the shaker with sparkly bits to mimic milk, because why not make it extra magical? 

I adhered everything to my card base, added the glass detail in vellum and that’s it—a cute, interactive shaker that’s good enough to dunk!
