Hello Stampers!
I made this shaker card for the new Festive Friday Challenge #FF0066 -
National Day of Encouragement (September 12). I used 4 items off the
Inspo List - bright colors, heart, sparkle & pretty paper.
I've tried a bunch of different methods for making shaker cards, but this is
my far my favorite. And it's the easiest. Win-win! This is a
5-1/2" square card (don't forget extra postage required!).
Card Base - Pacific Point cardstock 11" x 5-1/2", scored at 5-1/2"
Designer Paper - 5-1/4" x 5-1/4"
Adhesive Foam Sheet - 5-1/4" x 5-1/4"
Window Sheet - 5-1/4" x 5-1/4"
Embossed Card Front - Pacific Point cardstock 5-1/2" x 5-1/2"
These adhesive foam sheets can be found in the children's section of most
craft stores. This pack contains 6 sheets in red, blue, yellow, green,
black & white. They make shaker cards easy, and by matching the foam
color to your card, it practically disappears!
This is how my shaker card is built:
Cut the designer paper & the foam sheet to 5-1/4" square. Die-cut a
circle in the center of the foam sheet - the circle here is 4-3/4". Yours
could be smaller depending on how much of the designer paper you want to
show. The adhesive comes only on one side of the foam - on the
non-adhesive side, add liquid glue as seen here. Flip it over and adhere
to the designer paper.
Now the self-adhesive side of the foam is facing up. Add your shaker
sequins to the center of the circle. These are random sequins from my
craft stash - I love using up supplies that have been around a while!
Now remove the adhesive from the foam sheet and place your 5-1/4" square
piece of window sheet on top of the foam and press the edges down
well. Using liquid glue, adhere this entire piece to the card front
(window sheet facing up).
The circle on the embossed card front is slightly smaller than the inside
circle. Mine is 4-1/2". Cut the circle first, then run through
your embossing folder. The sea turtles are fussy-cut from the Whale of
a Time Designer Paper. This card is for my 2-year old granddaughter -
I think she'll have a whale of a time shaking it!
