RobsCreations

I have been amazed by a recent video from Jennifer Mcguire o n  stamped shaker cards  ( link at the end of this post for technical details ). I wanted to try something similar myself, but more on the Xmas theme. My post focuses mainly on the things I've changed, so if you need a step-by-step guide, again, hit the link at the bottom of the page (but please don't skip my post 😊) I was well aware that I was missing most of the cool items she used for her cards like for example the single stitch frame die, the shimmer pen and the Copic markers but I think I can be pretty happy with the result anyway. In order to create the frame I have used two dies of the  Sizzix Squares Framelits Die Set that I've stuck together with washi tape like this I've used the square left over as a background for the shaker window. I've stamped  an alphabet  with white ink and embossed it with white Jasmine powder  and glued some sequin...

One more shaker card!  A big window filled with champagne-themed confetti !!! Behind the transparent window (in the inside of the card) there's a perfect square of Oxygen Marble Prune paper (also used for another card  see here ) on mounting tape. The cream cardboard in the inside is to write birthday wishes and it has been partially embossed with   Sizzix embossing folder rick-rack (even if it's not clear from the picture).

Not much to be said about this card with exception of the material I've used for the 'transparent window'... I couldn't find acetate sheets and I therefore used that kind of clear plastic material used to make protective covers for books. It may not be as transparent as acetate sheets but it turned out to be a valuable substitute!  Below you have the card (which is, by the way, a summer-ish B-day card ) The windows in the front of the card and the coloured frames have been created by using the Sizzix Squares Framelits Die Set . To seal the plastic bags I've initially tried with the glue gun but it was a mess, so I eventually opted for double sided scotch which perfectly worked.  I've filled the plastic windows with Martha Stewart Red micro beads , fruit nail decorations and music note confetti (most of these tiny decoration were in the package gift I got from  WhyperFairy.com ) Detail #1     Detail #2  Inside of the card
