SOS505 - Shake It Up

Hello crafty friends!

We are back with a new challenge - this one is called Shake It Up. So as the title says we  would like to see shaker elements on your projects.

My Card from my stash : 

My Christmas shaker card was part of a Paper Pumpkin card kit from a few years back. I loved all the great pieces in this kit. 

The outside clear  round shaker is filled with stars as SNOW! Making this ornaments card a favorite of mine. 

Making a basic shaker card: 

Card stock

Blank card

X-Acto knife and mat

Paper cutter

Foam tape

Scissors

Craft glue

Clear acetate

Shaker filler material (sequins, seed beads, glitter, etc.) 

Cut Out the Front. Cut a piece of card stock to match the size of your blank card. Then cut out the window on the card stock with an X-Acto knife. If you want the card to have a cut-out saying (like the “hi” shown here) make this with your X-Acto knife as well. (It’s also totally fine to keep it simple.)Now line the back of the window cutout with craft glue.Cut a piece of clear acetate about ½” larger than the window. Center the acetate over the back of the window and adhere it to the card stock.Add foam tape around the entire border of the window, making sure that there aren’t any gaps in the tape where bits of filler could work their way out after the card is assembled. add some shaker fill in the center, then remove the backing from the foam tape. Line up the blank card with the window assembly and press down to seal the shaker cut out to the front of the card. Now just write your message, slip it in an envelope, and get ready for the recipient to be seriously impressed!
