Anita here with a tutorial to make Lori’s lovely cut file for the Pop Up Box Card St. Patrick’s Jar into a shaker card. You can find the SVG file here in Lori’s shop and here in the Silhouette store.
Here is a photo of the parts of the card after I cut them out. I cut a piece of overhead projector plastic the same size as the jar. I used the rectangle shape tool in Silhouette to cut out the center of my green plaid jar top piece for the window. I also cut an extra jar out of black and trimmed it even with the top of the lid so that you could see the details in the jar cover. Those are shown glued down in this photo.
Next, I took the green dot jar piece and used foam tape to create both height and space for the shaker materials as you can see from the photo below.
I started to assemble the card which is very easy to put together. (Lori has a Pop Up Box Card Tutorial Here) I tend to use a wet adhesive as at first it is forgiving and you can move the pieces around a bit and then it holds better than regular adhesive. I lined up the pieces and then closed the card to make sure everything was where I wanted it. Here are some photos of the embellished card parts. I added the transparency piece behind the plaid jar outline to create a window. I filled my shaker with extra shamrocks from the cut file and some sequins. After filling the jar, I peeled the adhesive from the foam tape and placed the jar with the window on top. I love how festive it is.
Lastly here is a photo of the card when it is closed. Lori has many wonderful St. Patrick’s Day files which you can whip up quickly to brighten someone’s day. Thanks for looking and have a great day.
Hugs,
Anita
