Hi, everyone! Do you like shaker cards? Teri here to show you a fun and quick way to make an Endless Shaker Birthday Card.
Make the Endless Shaker
Start by cutting a 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ panel of cardstock. It doesn’t matter what color you use as it will not be seen. Take a recycled cellophane envelope or bag. Cut it to about 6″ x 6 1/2″, leaving one side completely attached.
Take your panel of cardstock and decorate it with patterned paper pieces. Using Premium Double-Sided Tape, adhere it inside your cellophane pocket. Place tape on the sides and seal the sides up.
Dump some mostly flat shaker bits, like sequins or small paper pieces, inside your pocket. Seal up the top by adding another strip of tape. Fold the edges over and adhere them to the back of your shaker. Mount your shaker onto a card base.
Decorate the Shaker Card
Add a 3D Foam Frame to your shaker window. Place a Metallic Transfer Foil Sheet on the frame with the pretty side up. Burnish the foil firmly onto the frame with your window.
Decorate the shaker window by adding stickers or sentiments to it. Make some of those elements stand out by using 3D Foam Strips to make them pop off the card like I did with the white sentiment sticker.
Complete the card by adding a few sequins to it. Gems and small buttons would also look great!
You can add a sentiment inside your card to finish it! Another fun idea is to add a keepsake envelope to use as a pocket to tuck a gift card or cash into.
Thank you so much for stopping by today. I hope you are inspired to make some endless shaker cards.
