Shaker Cards

It’s Tutorial Thursday! Today I want to show you how to make a multi-pocket shaker card as well as a faux one. So I’ll show you the pictures and then we will begin.

For the card on the left:

• Cut a piece of Thick Basic White Card Stock with the Paper Trimmer to 4 1/4″ X 11″. On the 11″ side score at 5 1/2″. This is your card base.
• Cut two pieces of Polished Pink Card Stock with the Paper Trimmer to 4″ X 5 1/4″. These are your mats.
• Cut a piece of Basic White Card Stock with the Paper Trimmer to 3 3/4″ X 5″. Take your Rectangular Postage Stamp Punch (or any other shape) and punch two holes. Tip: Make sure to not go closer than 1/4″ to the edges or each pocket. Stamp your background.
• Cut a piece of Window Sheet about 1/4″ larger than the holes you just punched out. Attach over the holes with Mini Glue Dots. Place the Foam Adhesive Strips around the edges of the punched holes. Fill the pockets with Shaker Shapes (or sequins) and then peel the backing off the strips. Place Polished Pink mat on top of the white piece. I was not able to line this up so I simply trimmed and then added the additional mat.
• From one of the remnants of the punch, stamp a sentiment. If you want to edge the card with ink simply lay down on the ink pad. Do not move along the pad as it will cut it. Please see video for more tips. Then attach with Dimensionals.

For the card on the right:

• Cut a piece of Thick Basic White Card Stock with the Paper Trimmer to 4 1/4″ X 11″. On the 11″ side score at 5 1/2″. This is your card base. Stamp sentiment on the base directly making sure the direction has the opening at the top. Please see video.
• Take a piece of Window Sheet and cut with the Paper Trimmer to 5 1/2″ X 4 1/4″. Slide this inside your Clear Envelope. Then fill with Sequins for Everything (or sequins of your choice). Tape shut with a piece of Scotch tape.
• Make sure the Clear Envelope is flush with the bottom of the card base and centered. Take envelope seal off and stick to the back side of the base (over the top).
• Open the card base and place Tear & Tape Adhesive to seal shut. You will also want to put a piece of Tear & Tape under where the Envelope comes down to attach it a little better. Stick together after peeling the back off the Tear & Tape.
