Quick Seed Bead Shaker + Video

Hello crafters, this is Julia taking over the Pretty Pink Posh blog today! I want to show you how you can, quickly and easily, create a shaker card with the brand new, limited edition Autumn Seed Bead bundle that just released!

Watch the video above   I  Watch the video in HD on YouTubeborder thanksgivingshaker_2
The Giving Thanks stamp set and die set is perfect for this type of card since the dies for the leaves and pumpkins have enough detail so everyone know what they are. I decided to only cut a few openings into my panel along the left side of my panel, with the sentiment from Giving Thanks snuck in-between.

As with every shaker card, you’ll need to adhere a piece of acetate to the back of your panel and then add foam (dimensional) adhesive around the openings, making sure to not leave any gaps where the shaker elements could escape from. Then add the shaker elements, here the seed beads. I think they are perfect – they are tiny which allows me to add a lot of them even in small spaces and still be able to shake ‘em!

Once you adhere your panel on top, your shaker is done! You can stop here, and just leave it as is, but I wanted to add some very subtle dimension and detail and so I added a few more die-cut shapes of leaves and pumpkins. I used the same card stock that my panel was made from so the color would match exactly.

  7. Great card! Can you tell me where you purchased the containers for your seed beads?
