Welcome to this Focus Friday post. For the month of April, we have been looking at all things shaker cards. Today the focus has been on multiple shaker pockets on one card.

I used the layering circle dies to create these three windows. You could of course do any shape you wanted but I stuck to circles here. One tip is to remove the backing on the foam strips before you apply them as they are much easier to manipulate then. Also, mark where your windows will fall on the background before you apply any adhesive. It will make your life so much easier. I didn’t and yes I still managed, but learn from my mistakes.

Welcome to this “Friday Focus” post. For the month of April, we are looking at all things Shaker Cards. Today’s card is what I would call a standard shaker card. It uses foam strips and tape to create a shaker card. It has dimension and shakes beautifully.

I’ve not used these shaker shapes in the shaker before. They have been sitting in my stash for the last year and at last, they are seeing the light of day. They are great, bright and fun.

Welcome to this Focus Friday post. For the month of April, we are looking at all things shaker cards. So are you ready to shake with me? Today we are looking at a full card shaker card. This is a great card to make as it “recycles” any pieces of plastic acetate packaging you have.

I love this card as you can see all the pretty paper in the background. I haven’t added too many shaker elements as this card has no dimension and you don’t want to hide the beautiful paper.

measurements

  • Fresh Freesia Cardstock – A6 Cardbase – This is an A4 sheet cut in half and then folded in half
  • Pansy Patch – 14.35cm X 10cm
  • Strip of Basic White that is 2.5cm wide
  • Piece of acetate packaging that measures at least 16cm X 11cm – I used an old C6 size clear envelope

This shaker card came together really easily. I was watching a haul video on YouTube and saw the lady had purchased some star and heart-shaped shaker pockets online. So I thought to myself, why don’t I make a star-shaped shaker card and here it is.

I used children’s fun foam at the pack to give it the necessary dimension. It also prevents any of the Subtle Shimmer Sequins in the shaker element from sticking to any adhesive.

  • Evening Evergreen Cardstock – A6 Cardbase – This is an A4 sheet cut in half and then folded in half
  • Tidings of Christmas Designer Series Paper (DSP) – 13.85cm X 9.5cm
  • Basic White – 14.35cm X 10cm
  • Shaker Back – Tidings of Christmas DSP – 7.5cm X 7.5cm

I don’t think anyone can deny sunflowers are gorgeous. They make you smile and a field of them is truly spectacular. I love watching the Tour de France each year and when they go through parts of France you see these glorious fields of sunflowers. A truly picture-perfect moment.

This card is a little shaker card using the mason jar shaker domes. I’ve coloured everything in using the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers which as you know are one of my favourite colouring mediums. I find colouring so relaxing and had great fun making this card.

I normally struggle with shaker cards but this one was super easy to make and I was over the moon with how it turned out. How pretty is this card? These shaker mason jar domes are seriously cute. I’m definitely buying a few more packs to hoard. Everything is coloured in using the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers. Colouring in is so therapeutic. It keeps me out of mischief for hours!!

The stamp set is Jars of Love. It comes with many different bunches of flowers and even the stems to stamp in the jar. I’ve fussy cut the flowers out and of course there is a matching mason jar punch.

I love shaker cards but sometimes struggle with making them. This one turned out really well I think. The sequins around the card pic up on the sequins in the shaker card and give it a lovely cohesive effect. I embossed the Balmy Blue layer with the Woodlands embossing folder which matches the woodland feel of the stamped image.

When I was a child, I love Snow Globes. They weren’t as widely available as they are now and were so special. I love just loved watching all the glittery snow falling down on the scene. I still have a few that I have collected over the years that I put out for Christmas. This year I want to try and make one for myself. Watch this space!!

measurments

  • A6 Cardbase in Night of Navy. This is an A4 sheet cut in half and then folded in half
  • Balmy Blue – 14.35cm X 10cm
  • Whisper White – 7cm X 3cm

Shaker Die Cut Birthday Card Stampin’ Up!

Hello again, I have this shaker die cut birthday card to share with you today. I’m never happy with the shakey shakey cards I make but am determined to keep trying until I perfect it. This is my attempt today.

Shaker Die Cut Birthday Card  Stampin' Up!
Shaker Die Cut Birthday Card Stampin’ Up!

This card took ages to make. I struggled to come up with something I liked and I am still in two minds about it. Do you like? The die set is aptly named Happy Dies. I do like the Happy the die that cuts out the word. Next, I think I will try this die as an inlaid die cut.

I used the silver strips to cover up the foam tape on the sides of the card. One thing I do like is how well the balloons have stamped out. They do look happy and jolly.

Measurements

  • Gorgeous Grape 14.35cm x 10cm
  • Whisper White 14cm x 9.5cm
  • Thick Whisper White A6 Card Base – This is an A4 sheet cut in half and then folded in half
  • Silver Foil Sheet – 10cm x 1cm X 2 pieces

Things are fairly quiet here in Lincoln. I am writing this post on the 10th July even though it is going to go up later. Yesterday was my mother’s birthday. It was very quiet as we just stayed home. Neither of us is comfortable going out to eat under the current circumstances. We are both vulnerable and so we are taking these carefully and slowly.

Snowglobe Shaker Card – Still Scenes – Stampin’ Up!

I have another attempt at a snowglobe shaker card to share with you today. I love the idea of a shaker card but don’t enjoy making them. The sequins get everywhere and more seem to stick to me than get in the shaker dome!!!

Snowglobe Shaker Card - Still Scenes - Stampin' Up!
Snowglobe Shaker Card – Still Scenes – Stampin’ Up!

I’ve used the Still Scenes stamp set to stamp the wintery cottage scene. I have coloured it in with our watercolour pencils. I love colouring in and watercolouring is a very forgiving medium. The two polar bears are so cute and love the image of the mother kissing her little baby bear.

measurements

  • Blueberry Bushel A6 Cardbase – This is an A4 sheet cut in a half and then folded in half
  • Balmy Blue – 14.35cm x 10cm
  • Blueberry Bushel In Colour Designer Series Paper (DSP) 13.85cm x 9.5cm
  • Balmy Blue – 1.5cm x 9.5cm

I felt the background was a bit bland and therefore have lifted using the same snowflake sequins that are in the shaker dome. I adhered them with a tiny dot of Tombow. The “Take Your Pick Tool” makes placement super easy without getting your fingers stuck in the glue.

As always there is a video tutorial and supply list below. Thank you for coming and until next time Enjoy Being Creative!!
