Puppy Shaker Cards + Video

Hi everyone, Rina here today. I have three PUPPY shaker cards using the Playful Puppies, Happy Mail and Simple Sayings: Life stamp sets.

I am a huge dog lover and have three beagles of my own.  I did some simple copic coloring today and my goal was to color the images like my beagles.  After I colored the images, I cut them with the coordinating dies.

The card front was created by ink blending distress oxide inks about ¾ of the way down, leaving the top white for contrast.  I used Picked Raspberry , Cracked Pistachio, and Fossilized Amber.  I finished off the blending with a microfiber towel, then used a Distress Sprayer to create splotches for added depth.  I used Kuretake Gansai Tambi watercolors to create black paint splatters.  Wait for your card front to dry before die cutting the shaker frame.

I used post it notes to hold the dies in place on the shaker fronts and then adhered acetate.  I used one layer of foam tape to create the shaker well and filled the shaker well with my favorite shaker bits from Pretty Pink Posh:

• 3mm Sparkling Clear Sequins
• Sparkling Clear Confetti Mix
• Sparkling Clear Sequins Mix
• Gold Mini Star Confetti
• Watermelon Jewels
• Spring Green Jewels
• Buttercream Jewels
• Sparkling Clear Stars

After filling the shaker well, remove the backers on the foam tape and adhere a card front. Make sure to press down firmly so no shaker bits escape!

I stamped out sentiments from Happy Mail and Playful Puppies in Versafine.  I used the Hugs Shaker die cut in white and adhered it to the acetate frame with glossy accents.

I had the inside pieces of the Window Frames die and Stitched Stars left over.  I thought it would be cute to stamp “You make life fun” from the Simple Sayings: Life stamp set and use the die cut to decorate the inside of the card.  I used a little red heart to embellish the remaining card.

Copic Markers Used: B00, B000 // W00, W1, W3, W5, W7 // R11, R14, R20, R24 // YG02, YG25, YG41, YR21 // C3, C5, C9 // Y21

I adhered the completed card front to the card bases and finished the card off by adding Sparkling Clear Confetti to the front of the card.

Hope you enjoy these fun shakers! Thanks for stopping by!
