Card #19 –  Shaker Birthday Card

I started by assembling all my supplies.

I’ve been intrigued by shaker cards for a while now.  I thought this would be a good time to try one.

This card is a design that could be used for any occasion.

I used pink cardstock (4 1/4″ X 11″) for my base, white cardstock (4″ X 5 1/4″) for the card front and patterned cardstock for the circle backgrounds and sentiment circle.

I began by die cutting the two circles on the card front.  Then I die cut the background patterned cardstock, the clear acetate and the two foam rings.  A shaker card needs about 1/8″ between the acetate and the patterned paper for the sequins.  The foam rings are glued between the acetate and the patterned paper.

First I glued the acetate to the circles using Glossy Accents.  I let that dry for a few minutes and then glued the foam rings around the circles.  When that dried I sprinkled a few sequins and micro beads into the foam ring wells.

I glued the patterned paper over the foam rings to prevent the sequins from falling out.  I finished off the back of the card front by placing foam tape along the perimeter of the cardstock.

Before attaching the card front to the pink card base, I white embossed the sentiment to one of the circles and attached it using foam squares.  As a last minute thought, I die cut a smaller circle out of the silver embossed sheet I used in yesterday’s card.

I finished the card by gluing a few pink sequins.

Here is the finished card.

I love circles because I’m really good at making them when I chase my tail.
