Hello crafters, it’s Tina and
since it had been a while I decided to make a fun shaker card! The focal point
of this project is an adorable couple from the My
Otter Half stamp and die
set.
For today’s card I made a white square card and
added a teal layer cut from one of the Sweater
Weather papers. Yes, this is a Fall themed paper pack but I feel the darker
teal is a great match for my cute brown otters (also very snug and cozy, I made
this card on a rainy day in Spring, hence the need to feel that way!).
After cutting the panel with the second largest
of the Scalloped Square 1 Large dies, I created the shaker window with one of the Stitched
Circle Small dies.
A piece of clear acetate slightly smaller than
my teal piece was glued to the back with strong double sided tape. Next, I
created the shaker well with thick strips of foam tape, I removed the
protective backer first to add the tape as close as possible to the circle
shape.
Now comes the fun part, which is filling the
shaker with sequins in clear and teal colors. to close the shaker, I simply
added a square piece of teal paper to back. I glued this whole piece to the card base with liquid
glue.
My cute couple from
the My
Otter Half stamp was colored with Copic markers in shades of brown. The
sentiment was taken from the Words
Of Gratitude set and stamped on a scalloped white banner with Versafine
Onyx Black ink.
I placed this banner on the bottom edge of the
shaker and added the cute couple so their tails overlap with the white
sentiment strip. This connects the elements of this design in a fun way. Of course this card needed a bit of bling so I
sprinkled a few Aquamarine
Jewels around the shaker frame.
This set is so cute and I am sure you will make
the most adorable cards with these otters! Thank you for joining
me and happy crafting!
