Tutorial: Creating A Double Shaker
Hi everyone, Rina here!
For today’s tutorial I thought it would be super fun to make a double shaker card where there are two distinct wells to put sequins in. This way you can have two separate colors of sequins without having them mix together.
The video tutorial will show you how to cut all the white pieces from one piece of cardstock. You will need to cut out 5 pieces of the largest Scallop Frames Dies: One in a colored cardstock (I used gray) and 4 in white cardstock. Next you will need to cut out 5 pieces of the Hello Shaker Die: One in a colored cardstock (I used blue) and 4 in white cardstock.
You will also need:
- Acetate 4×5 inches
- White Cardstock 4×5 inches
- 4 ¼ x 5 ½ inch standard size card base
- Largest Panel in White Cardstock from Stitched Notes Dies
To create the double shaker wells
- Adhere all 4 white Scallop Frames one on top of the other
- Adhere all 4 white Hello Shaker Die one on top of the other
- Adhere the attached Scallop Frames and Hello Shaker Die pieces onto a piece of acetate, these will create your 2 shaker wells. Make sure to put the glue on the front side of the Hello die and then adhere it to the back of the acetate. The adhesive that shows through will be hidden later.
- Fill the inside of the Hello Shaker Die with Aquamarine Seed Beads and Iridescent Mini Star Confetti and fill the outside of the Hello Shaker Die with Pewter Seed Beads and Silver Mini Star Confetti.
- Make sure to not overfill. Use the 4×5 White cardstock to cover the back of the shaker mechanism.
- Turn the shaker mechanism over and you will see the front, use the remaining die cuts that were cut out with colored cardstock and place them on top to cover the adhesive
I will be using some images from the Koala Friends stamp set to embellish the card. Here are the copic markers I used:
Gray – C00, C1, C3, C5
Green – YG01, YG03
Pink – RV10
Brown – E70, E71, E74
To finish the inside of the card, take the panel die cut from the Stitched Notes Dies and stamp the sentiment “A Happy Hello” and adhere the small koala at the bottom. Adhere your shaker mechanism to the front of the card. Finally adhere the remaining koala images to the front of the card.
