Birds of a Feather Shaker

People who know me know that I love to make shaker cards, so when I saw several of these shakers on Pinterest (one done by Dawn) I definitely had to make it.

This shaker is different in that the shaker is in the front of the card and is see through.  The image seen in the shaker is actually on the inside of the card.





Supplies and Measurements:

  • Basic Black card stock 4 1/4 by 11 scored at 5 1/2

  • Basic Gray 4 by 5 1/4
  • Halloween Bash DSP 3 3/4 by 5
  • Basic Black 2 1/2 by 4 to die cut shaker window frame
  • Whisper White 4 by 5 1/4" for inside
  • Scraps of Basic Gray, Pumpkin Pie and Whisper White for sentiment
  • Window sheets (2) 2 3/4 by 4 1/4"
  • Shaker elements
  • Stitched rectangle die
  • Punches - 1" circle, 1 1/8" scallop circle, 1 1/4" circle
  • Halloween Bash enamel elements
1.  Adhere DSP to Basic Gray card stock
2.  Die cut opening for shaker using stitched rectangle die
3.  Use this opening to trace with a pencil the outline of the rectangle onto the Basic Black card front.
4.  Use the same stitched rectangle die to die cut opening into Basic Black card front
5.  Hold Whisper White card stock on inside of card and with a pencil trace aperture 
     shape onto it.  
6.  Remove from inside and colour image using Stampin' Blends.  Stamp sentiment under image.
7.  Adhere to inside of card.
8.  Adhere window sheets over aperture on inside of DSP/Basic Gray and on front of Basic Black         card stock.
9.  Apply strips of foam adhesive around edges of rectangle on card base
10. Apply strips of foam adhesive to outside edges of  DSP/Basic Gray.
11.  Remove tops of adhesive
12.  Add a small amount of shaker element to window on card front. Carefully attach the DSP/Basic Gray piece to the card front centering windows.
13.  Stamp sentiment.  Punch with 1" circle punch, mat with 1 3/8" scallop pumpkin pie piece, and again with 1 1/4" Basic Gray circle.  Add to card front using dimensionals.
