A2 Halloween Scene Pop Dot Card with added Shaker Bits

Leave a comment

 Happy October!  My favorite time of year for paper crafting…simply love it!  I used an older card of Lori’s and added a bit of fun with shaker bits.  Lots and lots of layer created with pop dots and just plain Halloween fun!

A2 Halloween Scene Pop Up, Silhouette Store

 

Start with cutting all your pieces. I cut all the pieces white but then changed my mind.  So maybe layer it a bit with different colors and ideas before your start.

1 and 2~  All of my pieces cut
3~ adding the diecut pieces
4~where I switched to a green back ground
5~just zoomed in so you can see this layer

 

 

This next set is how I created the shaker frame.  I simply cut a bunch of layers of white with my Silhouette.  The frames are 4×5 and my transparency piece is just slightly smaller.

 

 1~ just the frames cut
2~showing the frame and transparency
3~gluing the transparency to 1 frame piece
4~adding more layers of frame and dimensional strips of adhesive
5~showing the depth of the frame

 

1~Start by adding the green piece with the tombstones to your card base, then the haunted house layer.
2~Next for the fun part, dump in your shaker bits.
3~add your frame with the window to secure all those bits in
And last, add your last layer of paper with the spooky tree.

 

Next, add your embellishments and just like that you have a spooky scene with added fun!

Blender Shaped Shaker Card

Hello crafty friends, Noelene here today I am sharing my sweet version of the Blender Shaped card (SVG), (Silhouette) from Lori Whitlock.
I wanted to make it into a shaker card. So I created an internal offset for the cutout in the center of the blender jug. Instead of using foam tape I cut about 6 of these pieces & glued them on top of each other to get the thickness & depth for the confetti mix. I did it this way as I thought the sides were too thin to be able to get the foam tape around it.
I wanted to decorate my blender with some fruit, so I added the strawberries from the Lori Whitlock Strawberry Basket with Strawberry (SVG), (Silhouette). I used the lemon & leaf from the Doodlebug Berry Sweet Strawberry Lemonade file (SVG).
Lastly I created the tag using one of the banners from the Lori Whitlock Banner Set 3 (SVG) (Silhouette).

Strawberry Jam Shaker Card

Happy Monday everyone! With spring right around the corner I’m starting to think of gardening and canning. My favorite times of the year. With that being said I created this great little You’re Sweet shaker card using the A2 Strawberry Jam Card cut found in Lori’s Shop or at Silhouette.

A2 Strawberry Jam Card

I turned the file into a shaker card. I did a tutorial awhile back how to turn most cut files into a shaker card. That tutorial can be found HERE.

I embossed my “fabric” top and added some bakers twine to the top. I also popped my strawberries with dimensionals. I cut extra strawberries to put on the bottom corner.

I used just some basic sequins for shaker bits with some little strawberries and paper buttons.

Thanks for stopping by and happy crafting!

Baby Bottle Shaped Shaker Card Tutorial

Hello Crafty friends, today I want to share how I made this adorable Baby shaker card!

The file for my project today is the Baby Bottle Shaped Card (SVG, Silhouette).
 
I opened my file in Silhouette studio & took the bottle panel of my file, (coloured in white in my pic), & made a copy so that I now have 2. 
 
One will be used to create a frame for my shaker by making an internal offset & the other I will use to cut a sheet of acetate for the shaker window.

 

I created an internal offset of 0.450 on one of them. You can now put the other, (for the acetate), without the offset to the side. I have slightly enlarged my card so the offset measurements may vary depending on the size of your card. I just kept playing with mine till I got it to the desired size.
 I then copy & pasted this to fill my page. I was able to fit 4 in total. I cut out 12 pieces of this panel. These are to create the frame for your shaker. You only keep the outside frame. The insert is not needed. You will only need to cut 1 frame if you prefer to create the window frame with foam tape. I prefer this way as I find them much sturdier. I then cut out another of the same panel using the printed paper to make the top printed panel. This time keep both the frame & inside cut. Once I cut out all my pieces the first step was to glue the frame together by layering carefully my 12 pieces.
How thick the layer will depend on the type of shaker confetti you use inside. My shaker balls where a little raised & I wanted them to move freely in my card.
Next I glued together my top panels onto the front of my bottle panel & also glued down the shaker frame I created onto the bottom part.
I wanted some embellishments as well as sprinkles in my card, so I adhered some cute stickers on the inside panel first.

 

Once my stickers were in place I took the panel & glued it inside my frame. This should fit perfectly. Then I added my tiny balls. You can use any sprinkles in your stash. I wanted mine to look like milk inside the bottle that is why I chose the white balls. Next I gave my acetate a light brush of powder on the side I was going to glue down so that it is not static. I then glued the acetate to the frame. I let it dry before the next steps. Acetate takes a little longer to dry & not so instant as paper. Once the acetate was dry I glued on top the printed panel frame. Lastly I glued down my complete bottle panel onto the front of the card frame.
I added a sticker with sentiment on top to finish off!

Strawberry Lemonade Shaker Card Cricut Tutorial

Happy New Year everyone. Thanks for checking in today. I am going to show you how to turn this already cute card (SVG, Silhouette) into a shaker card!

I want to remind everyone that I am a Cricut user and these instructions are specifically for Cricut Design Space but the idea is the same regardless of what platform you are using.

Once your SVG is uploaded, you must click on “Ungroup”. Once I clicked on ungroup, I had to select the whole image and click ungroup again. This will allow you to move the pink lemonade portion of the file.

Once I had singled out the pink lemonade, I copied it to have 4 lemonade sections.

One of these will be needed to cut the clear acetate sheet (noted by the light grey color), and one will be needed as the back lemonade portion of your card (noted by leaving it solid pink). The remaining 2 will create the frame for your shaker.

 

For the image in purple, I shrunk from the original 3.275 x 3.291 to 2.8 x 2.81 and layered it over one of the additional pink pieces. The pink will show you the size of your frame.

Once you have overlapped the pieces above (the purple and pink pieces) select both and click on “Slice”. Once you have sliced these two images together, you will need to delete some pieces.

 

You will be left with this

I also removed the sentiment, 1 because we aren’t anywhere near summer here in South Dakota and 2 because it covers the cute shaker portion. Once your screen looks like the above photo, click on “Make” and cut your pieces.

 

Once you have your pieces cut, assemble your card as you would any other shaker card.

Adhere the acetate to the pink frame and add your solid adhesive foam strips over the back of the frame (where you glued the acetate). I use ones like this:

Once the base of your card is put together, add your shaker bits (I used little lemon slices and some pink pearls) over the pink base and line up your frame on top of the shaker bits, and stick it down.

 
You should end up with an adorable little card like this! P.S. I used paper from Lori’s Echo Park line called Year In Review.
Happy Crafting!
