Birthday Shaker Card

Hi everyone and Happy Saturday! It’s Lisa with you today and I have a Birthday Shaker card that I’m sharing with you today. This card is super fun and easy to make using our Keepsake Envelopes.

To put this card together first create your card base. I used a standard A2 card base of 4¼” x 5½” scored on the horizontal edge.

Then using the new E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Strips I adhered my first layer of patterned paper. Die-cut two more pieces of patterned paper and adhere those down using the E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Strips, as well.

Stamp the sentiment and heat with embossing powder.

To create the flowers, I used scrap pieces of wool felt and die-cut the felt using flower dies. I rolled them up using tweezers and secured the bottoms using either a Dodz™ Medium or a Dodz™ 3D (depending on the size of the flower).

To keep the flower EXTRA secure I squeezed in a little of the glue from the Quick and Easy Dual Tip Glue Pen in between the petals of the flowers (photos 4 & 5).

To adhere flowers down I also used the Dual Tip Glue Pen liquid glue and allowed them to simply air dry.

Next, for the shaker part! I used one of the smaller envelopes from the Keepsake Envelopes – Mix.  I cut the ends of a straw to make sure that it would be easy to put the glass beads and sequins into the envelope. I also used the new Extreme Double-Sided Tape ¼” under the flap so that it would NOT be able to be opened. (I don’t want those beads flying everywhere!)

*Tip – Since the Keepsake Envelopes have a clear adhesive backing they’re perfect to apply on ANY surface and the flap is resealable!

I finished the card off by wrapping a little ribbon around the front and tying it in a bow. To keep it secure I added a dab of glue under the bow.

Here’s a little close-up:
