Easy Shaker Cards

I like changing things up sometime and creating Shaker Cards is one way to do that. Try this easy tutorial and you'll be creating your own shaker cards in no time!
First assemble ingredients. Along with card stock you'll need, adhesive of your choice, scissors, die cutting machine and an option embossing folder.
Craft foam to match cardstock

Recycled acrylic packaging

Sequins

Die cut frame

A frame cut from craft foam but a little smaller. Do not die cut. Use scissors

 Use the recycled acrylic packaging to cut a shape a little larger than your frame center

After all elements are cut and assembled

Emboss shaker background using a piece of cardstock that is slight smaller than the inside cut of the craft foam frame

Adhere the embossed paper to cut frame

 Adhere the foam frame to embossed cut and sprinkle with sequins

Adhere the recycled package (acrylic) to foam frame

Adhere cardstock frame to paper frame, then adhere entire shaker to cardstock base.

Add die cut sentiment and voila!

Joy to the World

I seem to be in the throes of either making Halloween or Christmas cards. This card is in the running as the Christmas card I'll send out this year.  I saw it in my mind and it came out just as I envisioned it!

This is a standard A2 sized card. I started with a dark blue base and cut a slightly smaller layer of 4 x 5" for the pale yellow underlayer.  Using the same cardstock as the base I used Frantic Stamper's Starfall Reverse Cut. Next I used Kraft cardstock and Frantic Stamper's new Bethlehem Edger. The "moon" was cut with iridescent glitter paper and a stitched circled die. Then I added Frantic Stamper's Three Wise Men Silhouette. Finally I used a die from Frantic Stamper's Elementals #1 set to cut a slot to highlight my sentiment. I further highlighted the sentiment using a gel pen. I love creating "scene" cards and this one is no different! Stop by franticstamper.com to see the latest die release.
