Tutorial: How to Make An Inlaid Shaker

Hello friends, Eloise here and today I have a video sharing how to make the peacocks feathers from the Peacock Friends into a mini shaker. This is quite a long process, but the end look is super fun!

To begin, I stamped out my images from Peacock Friends and coloured them all in with Copic Markers. I then die cut them all out using the coordinating dies.

Copic Markers Used: YG01, YG03, YG07, YG09 / BG10, BG11, BG13, BG49 / B32, B24, B26, B39 / YR00, YR02, YR12, YR18 / Y11, Y13, Y15, Y19

Once they’re all die cut out, I took the peacock image and used an exacto knife plus some detail cutting scissors to cut around each of the feathers. I made sure to leave the white border intact as well. Once I’ve cut around all the feathers, I made sure to keep the detail areas in case I needed them later.

Next, I took my Mini MISTI stamping tool, Staz On Ink and some acetate and stamped another of the same peacock image on it. I didn’t die cut this out, I left it on a larger piece of acetate until I needed to cut it down later. I added adhesive to the coloured peacock and adhered it over the acetate stamped one.

I then took another piece of white cardstock and cut the coordinating peacock die in the middle. I then added adhesive to the backs of the single feathers and adhered them at the top left and bottom right of my panel. I also stamped the ‘You Are Special’ sentiment onto the bottom of the card with black ink as well. I flipped over the panel, added adhesive around the die cut peacock and adhered the acetate piece into place. I cut off the excess and added foam tape all along the back.

I then pulled out some Navy Cardstock and cut it down to a card base. I then pulled some Mermaid Mix and Spring Meadow Mix Sequins since they matched the colours I used well and added them into the centre of the card base, took of the backers from the foam tape and adhered the panel into place.

That finished up my card for today, I hope you enjoyed, and I’ll see you next time
