Stamping With Joni and the Red Door Crafters

It’s Tutorial Thursday! Here’s how to make shaker cards with strange shapes.

So I should probably explain myself…strange shapes means not a circle, square, triangle. Something that has curves and weird points like a bunny or a flower.

Here is what the underneath looks like after placing the Foam Adhesive Strips.

Here are the measurements for both cards.

Bunny Shaker Card

• Cut a piece of Thick White Card Stock with the Paper Trimmer to 4 ¼” X 11”. On the 11” side score at 5 ½”. This is your card base.
• Cut a piece of Texture Chic 12” X 12” Specialty Designer Series Paper to 5 ¼” X 4”. Attach to the card base with Stampin’ Seal. This is your outer mat.
• Cut a piece of Petal Pink Card Stock to 5” X 3 ¾”. Emboss with the coordinating folder from the Basics 3D Embossing Folders. Then punch out the bunny from the Easter Bunny Punch.
• Cut a piece of Calypso Coral Card Stock and another of Window Sheet to 5 1/8” X 3 7/8” each.
• Attach the Window Sheet to the embossed pink card stock with Mini Glue Dots.
• Then outline the image with Foam Adhesive Strips to create the pocket.
• Fill in the pocket with some Loose Daisy Embellishments.
• Peel the backing off the Foam Adhesive Strips and glue down the Calypso Coral piece.
• Then place Stampin’ Seal on the back of the Calypso Coral and glue to the outer mat.
• Punch out the Calypso Coral Card Stock with the scalloped oval from the Double Oval Punch. Then punch out with the smooth-edged oval in Petal Pink Card Stock. Stamp image in Calypso Coral Ink from the Easter Bunny Photopolymer Stamp Set. Attach to card front.

Flower Shaker Card
