Welcome everyone. It is my turn for the Project of the Week here at The House That Stamps Built. I saw a video on Jennifer McGuires’s blog awhile back on making shaker cards that is so easy that I now am hooked on shaker cards and wanted to share it with you. My tutorial is in my own words, and I did not refer back to Jennifer’s blog so my instructions, number of layers, type of adhesives and my instruction may be quite different.
Gather supplies as indicated:
White A2 card, pattern paper of choice cut to 4″ by 5 1/4 “:
Frame die, cut 6:
Sheet of acetate cut to fit your frame:
Glue 5 of the 6 frames together with a liquid glue, I prefer a tacky glue which allows time to reposition and dries fast:
Attach pattern paper to card front. Color image of your choice, I used Repeat Impressions Sunflower 4313-K, cut to fit your frame and glue to pattern paper:
Attach frame with Tacky glue or adhesive and fill with sequins, do not overfill:
Use double sided tape to attach acetate to the 6th frame and on top of the acetate:
Attach acetate layer:

I hope this will inspire you to try shaker cards.

Very pretty!! And you’re right, this does look like an easy way to do the shaker element. I’ll have to give it a try next time.
