I have not made a Shaker Card in a long time. I had ran across on my worktable, a bulb with the center punched out and I didn't want to toss it out so I thought and thought and then came up with the idea to make a shaker card using it. After all I had just gotten some new Shaker Frames because I couldn't find the ones I had. Imagine that, not finding anything in my messy workroom!!! LOL But the best part of this is, I did find them and now I have plenty!!! LOL
I used the Delightful Decorations for the bulb. The center is punched out using a 1" circle punch. Then I stamped the tree from the Jolly Bingo set. I LOVE using that set. I hope it shows up in the next catalog. I have had lots of fun with it and I am continuing to have fun with it during the holidays!
I stamped the words on my card using the Chock-full of Cheer set.
Then I took a piece of clear Window Sheet and covered the back of the bulb with it. I took my Shaker Frame and attached it to the tree piece of card stock. Then I removed the sticky top on the frame. I added some micro beads and then I lined up the tree with bulb and stuck the two together. It's dry in my home so a bunch of the beads just clung to the Window Sheet. But after shaking them a bit they settled to the bottom.
I tied a ribbon to the top of the bulb and set all the layers in place. This was a very fun card to make. I have always enjoyed making shaker cards.
You can find the tutorial to make a shaker card here. And you can find the clear no hole micro mini beads here.
Have fun with this and thank you SO much for visiting today,
