Tutorial: Rainbow Jewel Shaker Card

Good morning! Ardyth here with a unique idea for a shaker die! 

Watch the video above  I  Watch the video in HD on YouTube

Usually when I build a shaker card, I use foam tape for the shaker walls. But you can also stack a die cut to create the walls and that’s what I did here. I started by cutting the Lattice Background Die 5 times – 4 from plain white cardstock and 1 from a panel of cardstock that I had blended a rainbow of ink onto.

I used liquid glue to stack the 4 white die cuts and then glued a panel of acetate on top before gluing the rainbow die cut on the very top. When the glue was dry, I flipped it over, and there were lots of tiny windows just waiting to be filled!

I put one tiny jewel in each window, using a jewel picker and craft pick to make sure that the faceted shiny side was facing out the window. I went in rainbow order, trying to match the rainbow on the front of the card.

Jewels used: Berry Splash Mix Jewels, Raspberry Jewels, Marigold Jewels, Caribbean Blue Jewels, Cornflower Jewels and Party Mix Jewels.

When I had all the windows filled, I put liquid glue on the back of the stacked die cuts and placed my cardbase on it.

To finish the card, I simply added the Happy Birthday Script, which I had cut from black cardstock. 

We hope you enjoyed this fun video tutorial. There are lots of great possibilities with this die set (and jewels)!
