Happy Birthday Mini Shaker + Video

Hi everyone, Rina here. I am a BIG fan of shaker cards, so today I thought I would make a mini shaker birthday card.  I love this smaller size; you do not have to use too many sequins to make a huge impact.

I am using the Bunny Friends, Birthday Friends and Fly Away Friends stamp sets for today’s card.  I am also using the larger Scallop Square die to create the shaker frame. I am coloring the bunny and balloon images with 4 copic markers: RV0000, RV21, RV25, RV29.

 
To create the shaker frame I cut out:

• 1 scallop square pink frame
• 1 solid square in acetate
• 3 scallop30 square white frames
• 1 solid square in pink

I adhered all these layers with Tim Holtz collage medium.  Before you adhere the solid square in pink, fill the shaker well with sequins.  I used the Friendship Mix, Mini Gold Star Confetti, Sparkling Clear Stars and 3mm Sparkling Clear Sequins.

To create the sentiment I cut out a thin piece of black paper and white heat embossed the Happy Birthday sentiment from Fly Away Friends.  I wrapped the piece around the shaker frame. Once the sentiment is in place, adhere the bunny and balloon images to the middle of the card.  To finish off the card, I accented the stamped images with Spectrum Noir Sparkle pen in Clear and adhered the new Watermelon Jewels to the outside of the shaker.

Once the card front is all complete, adhere the shaker to a 4 ¼ x 4 ¼ inch card base!

I hope you try this mini shaker out! Thanks for stopping by!
