Bright Birthday Shaker

Hello hello! It’s Leica here today on the PPP blog. I’ve got a fun birthday card to share with you and the color palette of my card is inspired by the Party Swirls Clay Confetti. Blue, pink, and purple – I love these colors together! 

I first started by ink blending through the Streamers Stencils with Milled Lavender, Spun Sugar, and Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide Inks. I then cut the frame from the Fancy Cake Dies in purple cardstock and made a shaker card by adding acetate and foam tape onto the frame. I filled the shaker with half a teaspoon of Party Swirls Clay Confetti.

Next, I cut the cake twice in white cardstock. I ink blended the cake stand with Picked Raspberry Distress Oxide Ink. For the cake, I used Antique Linen and Wilted Violet for the icing. The candles are ink blended with Broken China and Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide inks. I sprayed the die cut pieces with water for an oxidized effect and I also splattered some white ink. Next, I colored the flames with Copic markers. Then I cut the “hip hop hooray” in gold cardstock and glued it on the cake.  I glued the cake in the middle of the card as the focal point. Lastly, I adhered the cad panel onto an A2 size card base. 

That’s all for this shaker card. The frame from the Fancy Cake Dies makes it super easy to create a shaker card – just add acetate and .25” foam tape around the frame. I hope you’ll try this method to make a shaker card. Tag us on Instagram #prettypinkposhstamps

Have a great day!
