Welcome back
everyone!
My second Couture Creations post for the month is a super-cool technique that is so on trend,
Shaker Cards!!!

I know, soooo much
fun here!
You may have seen
this Christmas card that I created for Issue 5 of Creative Inspirations Magazine,
using the Merry Little Christmas Intricutz Die: Christmas Stocking.....
I created ‘negative
space’ with my die to create ‘windows’ for my patterned paper.
Today I am using that
same technique to create this fun Christmas Shaker Card!
Here’s how…..
-8 x 6” , score & fold in half.
2. Trim
the Vintage Rose Garden: Butterflies & Stripes paper (green quarter)

3. Select
your Couture Creations die; I used the Christmas Stocking.
(It’s a great fit lengthwise & it’s also a bit of fun - perfect for a
shaker card!) Fold your card so that the patterned paper is facing down
onto the die, and the back of the card is tucked under the die & run
it through your die-cutting machine a few times. Re-position die and
repeat, as shown.

4. Place
a handful of sequins into a glassine (or cello) bag, seal and attach to
inner side of card.

5. Add
a sentiment & some of those fabulous gemstones to embellish!

- 3 ¾ x 5 ¾”
& adhere to cardstock, as shown.
Shake
and enjoy!!!!
Such
a simple technique, but what a great effect!
(&
your children will love making & shaking these cards too!)
I hope I have inspired you to give shaker cards a go!
Thanks for stopping by,
til next time,
