Tutorial: Pinata Birthday Shaker Cards

Hello! Rina here with you today. I loved working with the Piñata Party set and knew instantly that I wanted to pair it with the Celebrate Shaker Die.  I am doing a rainbow theme and the Party Mix Jewels were perfect for this design.

I made a simple striped watercolor background using Dr. Ph Martins Hydrus watercolor, but any watercolor would do.  I made a skinny striped background along with a wider striped background in rainbow color order.

While my backgrounds dried, I colored the images using Copic markers.

Copic Markers Used:  R20, R22, R25 / YR01, YR02 / Y000, Y11 / G00, G02 / B00, B02 / V01, V05 / C1, C3

To make the shaker I cut my panels to standard card size and used the Celebrate Shaker die to cut out the shape in the middle of the panel.  I used the Celebrate Shaker die to cut out glitter paper.  I used the die cuts from the glitter paper to inset into the panel and adhered with tape.  I adhered acetate to the back of the panel and created the shaker well using 2 layers of double sided foam tape.  I added the shaker bits into the well and used a ton of Pretty Pink Posh sequins and confetti.  Here is what I used for the shaker bits:

Party Mix Jewels

Silver Mini Star Confetti

Blush Seed Beads

3mm Sparkling Clear Sequins

Sparkling Clear Confetti Mix

10mm Sparkling Clear Sequins

I adhered a backer sheet to cover the sequins.  I stamped a sentiment to the front of the card and then placed the images.  Finally I adhered the card front to a top folding card base.

I hope you enjoy and try out this colorful card!
