We made these at January's Terrific Techniques. I might have gone overboard with the chunky glitter on the card, but it was fun to play with! This particular project seems to use most of the adhesives we have to offer, but the focus really is the stuff shaking around in the heart.
Here's a quick tutorial on how to make a shaker card:
Step 1: Punch a hole in the center of a piece of cardstock. I like 3 1/4 by 3 1/4 frames as our punches work well with that.
Step 2: Next adhere a window sheet piece that's 1/4 inch less one each dimension. In this case, that means 3" by 3". I use sticky strip for this as I don't want it falling off. However, seeing the red covering of the sticky strip on my red paper is a bit tricky.
Step 3. Adhere card base to card front. (once you do the next step, you aren't going to want to attach it to anything).
Step 4. Create a border of dimensionals on the card front that is about 3 x 3" I use the edges of my dimensional sheets. Otherwise, you can use a bunch of dimensionals in a row.
Step 5: Add the stuff you want to shake inside. I used some confetti I had in my Valentine decorations and some chunky glitter. Make sure it stays inside the dimensional fence.
Step 6: Peel off top layer of dimensionals, postion punched out piece over it, and cover up your shakins.
Step 7: Finish the card as desired.
I hope that is clear as mud, or clearer.
Happy Stamping!
