An easy way to step up a simple card is to create a full panel shaker! I used a bright patterned paper, cute Pink & Main images, and some sequins to make this flat shaker!
It’s so easy to create a full panel shaker card! I used a stamp storage pocket, but you could use cellophane or thin plastic packaging. I trimmed a piece of patterned paper from the Best Friends 6×6 Paper Pack to 4.25 x 5.5 inches and slid it into the stamp storage pocket. It fits perfectly when I put it in sideways. I trimmed off the excess plastic from the top – leaving about an inch at the top. I used some clear flat confetti pieces from my stash and added them into the pocket then folded over the extra inch of plastic and adhered it to the back of the patterned paper. I added the shaker pocket to the front of an A2 card and just like that I have a full panel shaker card!
Once the shaker panel is done all you need to do is add an image or two on top to complete the card! I used the Puppy Love Stamp and Die of the Month for December and colored up two adorable puppies with Copic Markers and cut them out with the coordinating dies. I also stamped a sentiment and used a die from the Large Sentiment Strip Die Set to cut it out. I think this was my most used die set of the year!
The shaker panel is flat, so you could adhere the images onto the card with liquid adhesive and keep this card completely flat, but I’ve never had any problems with cards going through the mail with a bit of dimension, so I decided to pop them up on foam tape. Thanks so much for joining me!
Great idea for a card. Will be making one like this.
