Shaker cards are so fun to make and fun to receive. Cards like these are not hard to make. We created this shaker card using our Magenta non-shed Glitter Cardstock.
Here’s how:
- Cut a piece of Magenta Glitter cardstock to 3.5″ x 3.5″.
- Flip over and draw a heart on the backside. Use a heart guide if needed.
- Cut out the glitter heart using an x-acto knife or hobby blade. You will have a positive and negative heart shape. Set positive heart shape aside for a future project.
- On the backside of the negative heart shape, adhere a piece of clear plastic. You can use plastic from recycled packaging or use acetate.
- Add foam tape on top of plastic sheet around the perimeter of the heart.
- Add sequins… fill in the interior of the heart with sequins, beads or small pieces of punched paper.
- Cut a piece of white cardstock 3.25″ x 3.25″.
- Adhere cut cardstock to the back of the sequin filled heart (onto the foam adhesive) sandwiching sequins in between.
- Flip over and shake the heart, making sure no sequins fall out.
- Now you can use the heart to finish a card.
- Mount the shaker heart to a piece of 4″x 4″ pink cardstock.
- Cut a card base 10″ x 5″. Score and fold in half.
- Mount heart to card front.
