Hi everyone! Valentine’s Day is just around the corner and I fell in love with this little gumball box card that Lori created. When I saw it I knew that I wanted to turn it into a shaker card. You can find this file here in Silhouette Store or here in Lori’s SVG Shop. It’s just way too cute!
To turn this in to a fun shaker, first cut all the pieces below. I cut a few extra gumball pieces just in case I wanted to add them to the shaker but they ended up being to big.
Next cut 12 more of these pieces. You need this many to stack and create enough depth to hold the sequins and such.
After you have all these cut, start layering them and glue with a good strong adhesive. Layer 10 of them together, then add a piece of transparency on the and the back side of your layered piece. I used the same glue for this too. Then add the 11th frame piece to finish the back side. Fill with beads and sequins. You can see the depth of your shaker window in the picture below.
Add another piece of transparency to the top and then the final frame piece to seal your the shaker pieces inside. Assemble the Gumball Box card and Glue this shaker in place to the front piece of your gumball machine.
These are so much fun to give and receive and it will still fold fairly flat for mailing.
Thanks for joining us today!
