Hi, friends! Can you believe Valentine’s Day is just three weeks away? Teri<\/a> here, and I’ve got a fun vellum shaker card you can make to tell your sweetheart you love them!<\/p>\n

Creating the Vellum Shaker Card Window<\/h2>\n

You’ll first want to do some cutting. You will need a card base, plus two cardstock panels and one vellum panel to fit on top. You’ll also want to cut a rectangle out of one of the cardstock panels.<\/p>\n

\n
\"Vellum<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Sponge a little blue ink on the blue panel. It doesn’t need to look perfect. It just needs to add the look of texture. <\/p>\n

Masking Technique<\/h2>\n

Also repeatedly apply removable dots with the E-Z Dots\u00ae Repositionable Refillable Dispenser<\/a> to the second panel of cardstock. (Please note it’s key that you use removable adhesive and not permanent. You’ll see why in a minute.) Don’t worry if your dots overlap or your lines are uneven! It will add to the handmade look of your finished card! <\/p>\n

\n

Set the kraft panel of cardstock on a craft mat or a scratch piece of paper. Gently sponge brown ink onto the panel. Use your finger to rub off the adhesive!<\/p>\n

Make the Shaker Feature<\/h2>\n

Flip the panel upside down and adhere the vellum onto it. Then “frame” the window with Crafty Foam Tape. <\/p>\n

Set a mixture of embellishments on the window. Sequins, beads and gems all make wonderful shaker filler! Adhere three die-cut hearts to the blue panel and affix the blue panel to the shaker window. Mount the shaker to a card created from cardstock. <\/p>\n

Finishing off the Card<\/h2>\n

Decorate the shaker with stamped critters and die-cut hearts. (I used mice but you may want to use some other cute stamps! The decision is up to you.) Here’s a trick for adhering super small stamped images to a card. Set them upside down on a piece of scratch paper and apply adhesive to them with the E-Z Dots\u00ae Permanent Refillable Dispenser<\/a>. It’s the perfect tool for getting adhesive completely on the small parts of those images! <\/p>\n

\n

Complete the Vellum Shaker Card by stamping a sentiment on a strip of adhering it to the card with 3D Foam Squares. Add a few embellishments as well. <\/p>\n
