Shaker Card Tutorial

This is a shaker card I made using the Bugaboo Stamp - Stella CRS.
I printed out the digi stamp onto Ultra Smooth Premium White Cardstock. I then colored Stella with alcohol markers.

Next I used a razor knife to cut out the C R & S. Do this step carefully, you don't want to lose a finger!

After cutting out the letters I cut out a piece of acetate large enough to cover all the cut out letters. I applied double backed super sticky tape to the acetate.

 
I then adhered the acetate to the backside of the card, covering the cutout letters.

 
Next I applied double backed foam mounting tape around the edges of the acetate. Make sure not to leave any gaps in your tape where the beads can escape.

 
Now your ready to add your seed beads. I used multi-colored beads. After adding beads, remove paper liner and stick a pre-cut piece of cardstock over the beads. You don't have to use beads, you can use what ever you like to fill your card. I made my Granddaughters cards filled with small candies.

 
Now your ready to decorate your shaker card any way you choose. Here is how I decorated mine.

Washi tape across the top if the card.
Flowers I made with PaperStudio Spare Parts Flower petals and leaves and brads from my stash.
Gem Stones from PaperStudio.
I hope you like my shaker card, I had fun making it.
