Shaker Frame Card

Shaker Card

by Beate Johns

This is a fun and easy way to shake things up a little.

Supplies

• Cardstock, for frame
• Acetate Window sheet or other acetate such as overhead transparencies, a little bit (1/8") smaller then your frame
• Die Cut Templates, Spellbinders Pumpkin Nestabilities™
• Patterned Paper, or light colored cardstock for back of shaker
• Glitter, sand or small beads for shaker mix (Chunky Crystal used here)
• Mounting Tape
• Strong Adhesive, Crystal Effects™ used here
• Ink and Sponges, optional
• Scissors

Step-by-Step

1. Step 1

   Use die templates to cut a frame out of cardstock.
   
   
2. Hint:
   You can also use punches or a paper cutter to create a frame.
   
   

3. Step 2

   Use the larger die to cut the acetate and patterned paper to the same size as the frame.
   
   

4. Step 3 (Optional)

   Sponge or stamp the frame if needed.
   
   

5. Step 4

   Apply strong adhesive to the back of the frame.
   
   
6. Place acetate over your frame. Let dry.
   
   

7. Step 5

   Cut the mounting tape into thin strips.
   
   

8. Step 6

   Create a frame with the mounting tape strips.
   
   
   
9. Make sure you leave no gaps between the strips where your shaker card "filling" might escape through.
   
   Hint:
   The mounting tape is flexible and easy to form into shape if you take the paper backing off before adhering it to your frame.
   
   

10. Step 7

    Add glitter or other filling carefully to the shaker card frame.
    
    Hint:
    If you need a higher frame for your filling because of the filling thickness, add another layer of mounting tape over this one.
    
    

11. Step 8

    Line patterned paper up face down over your frame. Press down.
    
    

12. Step 9

    Your shaker is done.
    
    
13. Finish your card.
