Holiday Cheer Shaker Card Tutorial

Hi, Jingle here today and I have a super fun holiday card to share with you. We are shaking up the holidays with this clever design using some amazing dies from Trinity Stamps and our favorite adhesives from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L. Are you ready for some adorable penguins?

Let’s begin! First, die cut the coffee cup shape from the center of your patterned paper panel. You will need a second panel to go behind it later on in the process, so go ahead and cut that now and set it aside.

Next, adhere a sheet of acetate on the back side of the die cut sheet using the E-Z Runner® Permanent Fine Adhesive Dispenser. This is my favorite adhesive for acetate!

Flip over that panel and color your penguins in holiday inspired colors.

Building your shaker

Once you have colored your panel and the acetate is in place, we can begin to assemble the shaker. Adhere strips of Crafty Foam Tape in a tight formation around your coffee cup on the back side, as shown.

Next, you can add your shaker bits (I chose some tree sequins and Christmas pudding clay bits) on the acetate. Adhere the second patterned paper panel to enclose the shaker bits. Another method to do this is to place them in the middle of the panel you cut earlier and then adhere the acetate panel over that, providing a bit more visibility for alignment.

Finishing the Coffee Cup

Now that the shaker is assembled, we can complete the coffee cup using stamps, dies, and stencils.

Color two scraps of white cardstock with the markers you used to color your penguin panel. Die cut the circle from one and the star from the other. Die cut the small cup hole plug with the same color you chose for the star.

Cut the lid and use the stencil to add the shading to give it a truly realistic look. I use the E-Z Dots® Repositionable Dispenser to hold my piece in place on my glass mat while I am ink blending. This is a handy trick when working with smaller pieces.

Adhere the lid at the top of the cup and add the circle and star over the acetate portion. I like to use the E-Z Runner® Permanent Fine Adhesive Dispenser for this because it sticks really well to the acetate. I used Crafty Foam Tape, the thinner version, to adhere the lid to add some dimension.

Finishing Touches

To complete the card, stamp the sentiment on a strip of white cardstock, trim and adhere. Add the little cup hole stopper to the top of the cup. Adhere the completed shaker to a black panel, and then to a card base using Crafty Power Tape.

And then you have your completed card! Well done! Now you can shake the day away!

Thanks for stopping by today. I hope you shake things up soon. I can’t wait to see what you create!
