Birthday Shaker

Shaker cards can be just as fun for the creator as they are for the recipient. Thoughts? 

Stamps:

   Balloon Celebration

Paper:

   Soft Sky A-2

   Basic White 4 x 4-1/4, 5-1/4 x 4 (2)

   Birthday Memories DSP 5-1/4 x 4

   Window Sheet 3-1/4" Sq.

Ink:

   Real Red

Technique:

   Shaker Card

Accessories:

   Layering Circles Framelits

   Cute Star Adhesive-Backed Sequins

   Shaker Contents

   Glue Dots

   Foam Adhesive Strips

   Dimensionals

   Adhesive

You can find an easy tutorial with written instructions, pictures, and a short video at SCS to make a Shaker Card. I did make a few changes to mine though.

I die cut a circle on a panel, instead of creating a frame. I did stamp my sentiment on the bottom of the panel first, and then die cut it. So, I added Foam Adhesive Strips around the die cut circle to keep the contents of the shaker card in place, but I used dimensionals along the rest of the panel to keep it from crushing down onto the card front.

My other change was that I adhered a DSP panel onto a Basic White panel to give it a bit more strength. I then adhered the window panel to the top part of it, and then adhered the panel to the Soft Sky card front. 

Lastly, I added a few Cute Star Adhesive-Backed  Sequins around the window and adhered a Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

Christmas Snowflakes

How fun to celebrate Christmas with a little shake. This is sure to put a smile on anyone's face. Thoughts? 

Stamps:

   Teeny Tiny Wishes

Paper:

   Pacific Point A-2

   Snowflake Splendor 5-1/4 x 4

   Basic White 3-1/2 x 4-3/4, 1 x 2-1/2, 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside)

   Window Sheet 3-1/4 x 4-1/2

   Balmy Blue Glimmer Paper (small snowflake)

Ink:

   Pacific Point

Technique:

   Shaker Card

   Dry Embossing

Accessories:

   Winter Snow Embossing Folder

   Washi Label Punch

   So Many Snowflakes Dies

   Snowflake Sequins

   Blue Adhesive-Backed Gems

   Felt Snowflakes

   Tear & Tape

   Foam Adhesive Strips

   Glue Dots

   Adhesive

First, I took the 3-1/2 x 4-3/4 Basic White panel and dry embossed it with the Winter Snow Embossing Folder.

I then die cut the center, using the die from So Many Snowflakes. I also took the smallest snowflake and die cut two, using the Balmy Blue Glimmer Paper.

Next, I stamped and punched out the sentiment, using Pacific Point and the Washi Label Punch. 

I then adhered the Window Sheet with a few glue dots onto the back of the die cut panel. 

Using foam adhesive strips, I enclosed the opening of the die cut. The foam strips will keep the sequins in view through the window sheet. I also added a foam strip on the outer edge of the panel to keep it from crushing down.

Next, I added my shaker card filling in the center of the DSP panel. I then added the window sheet panel on to the DSP. This was then adhered to the Pacific Point card front.

I added a Blue Felt Snowflake from my stash, using a glue dot, and adhered the sentiment with some liquid adhesive.

Lastly, I added the Balmy Blue Glimmer snowflakes, using glue dots, and adhered the Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

Beaded Beast

If you ever really want to shake it up, create a shaker card. They are not as difficult as they seem. What occasion would you like to shake up? 

Stamps:

   Wild About You

   Zoofari

Paper:

   Lemon Lime Twist A-2

   DSP 2-1/2" Circle, 1-7/8" Circle

   Acetate 2-1/2" Circle

   Whisper White 2-1/2" Circle, 4-1/4 x 4 (Inside)

Technique:

Accessories:

   Beads (Shaker Elements)

I stamped the card front with several animals. I used Archival Basic Black to keep it simple. I also wanted the focus to be on the shaker element and not the whole card front.

Next, I followed the tutorial to create a shaker card from SplitCoastStampers: Shaker Card.

I then attached the shaker circle to the top center of my card using Fast Fuse.

Lastly, I stamped a sentiment on the card front and adhered the Whisper White panel to the inside of the card.

Tea Shaker

 Shaker cards are easy to make as long as you have all of the necessary supplies. They are also fun to receive at any age. Make someone smile with this card.

Stamps:

   A Nice Cuppa

Paper:

   Melon Mambo A-2

   Have a Cuppa DSP 3-1/2 x 3

   Window Sheet (Acetate) 3-1/2 x 3

Ink:

   Archival Basic Black

Technique:

   Shaker Card

Accessories:

   Cups & Kettle Framelits Dies

   Mounting Tape (Foam Tape)

   Fast Fuse 

   Elements to fill shaker window

First, I die cut my shaker shape directly on the card front. I chose a tea cup.

I then stamped my sentiment on the bottom and the heart of steam on the top. 

Next, I adhered my window sheet (acetate) from the back of the card front. It covers the opening of the cup.

I then added my foam tape or mounting tape all around the die cut. I placed it directly on the acetate. I am working on the left panel of an opened card. 

FYI: By using foam tape, I have created a wall all around the tea cup. Make sure there are no breaks anywhere around it. Otherwise, your sprinkles will fall out. 

Now, I add sprinkles or shaker elements on the acetate or window sheet. You can use anything you want. I had some micro beads, red glitter hearts, and other sequins.

I then took the tape off the foam and adhered the DSP to seal the shaker. You can easily add a complete panel to cover the shaker portion. I left mine alone. You can also add the shaker portion to the front of the card. 

You can find a tutorial to create a shaker card HERE. There are many ways and versions of shaker cards. Get creative and make your own.

Shaking Birthday Jar

 Shaker cards can be fun to make. This one is a bit tricky because the jar punch does not reach to the middle of the card. So, I went old school. I traced the jar on my panel and cut it out with my craft knife. Almost perfect. What do you think?

Stamps:
   None

Paper:
   Bermuda Bay A-2
   Myths & Magic DSP 5-1/4 x 4 (Clear), 2-1/2 x 3 (Bermuda Bay - Behind Jar)

Ink:
   None

Technique:
   Die Cutting
   Shaker Card

Accessories:
   Well Written Framelits Dies
   Jar Punch
   Mason Jar Shaker Domes
   Sequins
   Brights Enamel Shapes
   Fine Tip Glue Pen
   Adhesive

Here is a picture of the card standing up. You can see that it can hold quite a bit of sequins, etc. 

Once you fill your jar and adhere the backing, you attach the panel to the card base. Add the die cut words and enamel shapes. Viola, shake away!
