Happy Thursday AI Friends!
I've always had an interest in shaker cards but don't find that I make them very often. I don't know why because I have collected all of the little bits to fill them. 😁 Soooo, I decided to make one for Valentine's Day. I just love seeing all of the little hearts bouncing around. They really are fun to make plus fun to shake.
I began by stamping the fox from the #5219 - Loveable Animals set with Memento black ink onto copic friendly paper and coloring with my copic markers listed below. This set comes with the coordinating dies so no fussy cutting necessary. Yay! It also comes with some accessories that each of the animals can hold in their paws. The heart was appropriate for this card, but the other choices are a flower, present, cupcake, party hat or letter. I stamped the sentiment from this same set on a tag from the
#5132 - Tag stitched die set.
To make the shaker, using two nesting heart dies taped together, I cut two hearts from acetate or clear packaging, one from red cardstock and four from white heavy cardstock. I glued the acetate to the back side of the red heart and then layered (glued) all of the white cardstock hearts to that. Place the shaker pieces inside the well of the hearts and then glue the last acetate heart to create the shaker pouch. I find it easier to make a shaker pouch so you can place nicely onto your project and see exactly where you want to adhere it.
That's it for my card today. Hope you enjoy it! Keep creating!
Copics used: R20, E93, E95, E97, E99
