Birthday Summer Shaker + Video

Hi everyone, Rina here!

Here is a fun summer shaker card for you using my favorite summer themed goodies. I used the Summer Friends, Sea Friends and Birthday Friends stamp sets and the Window Frames die set.

For a light and airy look I used Zig Real Clean Color Brush Markers to color in the images. I stamped the images using Versafine Onyx Black Ink on Bristol Smooth paper. Here are the colors I used:

Flesh Color
Beige
Lilac
Orange
Cornflower Blue
Light Green
Blush
Light Carmine
Lemon Yellow

To create the shaker mechanism I used the smallest of the Window Frames dies. I marked my 4 ¼ x 5 ½ colored cardstock with a pencil to find the center and die cut twice to create a beach scene on top and an ocean scene at the bottom. This will create the card front.

I then created the backer by inking the top half with Distress Oxides in Faded Jeans and Peacock Feathers. Spray with water to create a distressed look.

Line the card front with acetate and then put one layer of double foam tape around to create the shaker well. I used the Silver Mini Star Confetti, Sparkling Clear Stars and Metallic Silver Confetti Mix and placed the backer on top of the double foam tape to seal the shaker mechanism.

Take the images and place the beach scene images on top and the ocean themed images on the bottom. Use foam tape to pop some images up and adhere some images directly to create dimension on your card.

For the sentiment cut out a banner and stamp the Birthday Wishes sentiment from the Birthday Friends stamp set (or any sentiment you would like). Adhere this to the card, I adhered mine on top.

This step is optional but since I used a colored cardbase I made a liner for the card, stamping out small images from the stamp sets. Adhere this liner to the inside of the card base. Also, adhere the shaker mechanism to the front.

Finally add extra bling by adding these sequins all around the front of the card, I used glossy accents to adhere the 4mm Clear Droplets, Silver Mini Star Confetti and the 3mm Sparkling Clear sequins.

AND….If you want more sparkle, color parts of the images with your Wink of Stella Clear glitter pen!
