Hello I am showing you how to make a sweet critter shaker card.

Products used:

• White Card Super Smooth 300gsm
• Spring Green Plain Card 240gsm
• Pale Turquoise Plain Card 240gsm
• Stick it! 3D Foam Tape 9mm
• Anita’s PVA Tacky Glue 60ml
• Stick it! Double Sided Tape 6mm
• circle die cutter
• acetate
• embossing powder
• heat gun
• stamps
• markers
• twine
• pigment ink
• blending sponge
• sequins

To make the card base I used a piece of Pale Turquoise Plain Card 240gsm which I cut down and folded in half. I then cut a piece of Spring Green Plain Card 240gsm which is going to be placed behind the circle shaker. I stamped my images onto some White Card Super Smooth 300gsm and coloured them in with my markers. I set these aside and started to work on my card front.

For the card front I used another piece of White Card Super Smooth 300gsm which I die cut a circle out of. I then added some pigment inks which I blended onto the card using a sponge. This card really feels like butter so ink blending should be quite simple. I then cut a piece of acetate which I stuck down behind the card front using Stick it! Double Sided Tape 6mm. I then added some Stick it! 3D Foam Tape 9mm around the acetate, almost like a wall. This is to keep your sequins in. fill up the circle with some sequins.

I then added the Spring Green Plain Card 240gsm behind the shaker and stuck this onto my card front. I then placed the card front onto the card using Stick it! Double Sided Tape 6mm. After this I added my critters onto the card using some Stick it! 3D Foam Tape 9mm. I then heat embossed a sentiment onto some Turquoise Cumbria Colour Card 270gsm. This colour is absolutely beautiful.

To finish off the card I placed a few sequins onto the card using Anita’s PVA Tacky Glue 60ml and added some twine.

I hope you have fun making a shaker card!
