Watermelon Friend
Hey there, my crafty pals! It’s Leica here, and I’m super excited to share a really cute shaker card that I made using the amazing fruit products from Pretty Pink Posh. This card is not only adorable but also incredibly easy to make. Trust me, it’s a breeze! So, let’s dive in, and I’ll show you how you can create your own shaker card that will bring a big smile to your recipient’s face.
To start, I used a 4-inch square piece of white cardstock as the base for my card. The main feature of this card was the Layered Watermelon Stencil, which created a playful watermelon background. I used a combination of colorful inks like Festive Berries, Mowed Lawn, Twisted Citron, Worn Lipstick, and Glacier White to give the card a fresh and summery vibe. To make it a shaker card, I added a sheet of acetate around this panel, making it interactive. For the shaker elements, I used a mix of Lime Shimmer and Watermelon Crush. These cute little embellishments added a touch of whimsy and brought the watermelon theme to life.
Next, I mounted the watermelon panel onto a 4.5-inch square red cardstock for a fun pop of color. Then, I used the Watermelon Stamp Set to heat emboss the words “Hi Sweet” onto a strip of black cardstock. To make the sentiment really stand out, I cut the word “Friend” from red and pink cardstock and glued it onto the clear plastic.
Finally, I made a 4.5-inch square white card base and glued the card panel onto it. And voila! That’s it for my card.
I hope you enjoyed my shaker card and that it inspired you to create one of your own. Have an awesome day!
