Silhouette Tutorial with Corri: Make Your Own Shaker Card

Hi everyone!  Corri here today sharing a simple shaker card tutorial.

 

I used the round rectangle tool to draw a 4″ x 3″w rectangle.

 

Next, I opened Lori’s new 6 Hearts file and reduced them to fit inside the rectangle.   I ungrouped the hearts and resized them and placed them where I wanted them.

 

Then do select all (control A) and right click the mouse and pull down to make compound path.

Now you’re  ready to cut.  Cut the card with the hearts from pattern paper.  One plain card from acetate and one from vellum.    Layer the pattern paper on top, then the acetate and the vellum on the back.  Sew around the edge of the layers leaving a small space to fill with sequins.  After they are all inside, you can stitch the space closed.

I cut this new round background at 4-1/2″w and placed it behind my shaker and then added some embellishments.

  1. This is adorable. Thank you for sharing. I’ve been looking for a really cute design for my kids to make their valentine cards and create some type of box to place them in as they pass their cards out to each other and family members. I’ve seen mailboxes, etc but nothing yet that has really caught my attention. 🙂 If you can, please create some kind of valentine package for littles kids. Thank you!

  2. Super cute! I really like the effect that the vellum has at the back and how you used a number of windows on your card! Fresh and fun! TFS!

  3. Love the valentine collage that you made.

    I am keeping my fingers and toes crossed that I might win A silhouette Cameo.
