June Technique Challenge Shaker Cards
You can find a link to a printable version of these instructions at the above link!
Supplies used: Accented Blooms Stamp Set (2018-19 AC); Whisper White & Granny Apple Green CS; Memento Tuxedo Black & Gray Granite Inks; Granny Apple Green, Mango Melody, Daffodil Delight, Flirty Flamingo, Calypso Coral, Pool Party & Highland Heather Markers; Dimensional Strips; Window Sheet; Tailored Tag Punch; Sprinkles Embellishments (retired); Share What You Love Artisan Pearls.
Begin with standard portrait card base in White. Cut Granny Apple Green layer at 5” x 3 ¾”, and TWO layers of White at 4 7/8” x 3 5/8”.
Stamp the floral image that includes the punch outline in Memento at the bottom of one white layer. This will be just close enough to use the punch to cut out the “window” area. Next I want to stamp my sentiment onto the “background” layer. I do this by stacking my two white layers, and using my Stamp-a-ma-jig to place the sentiment perfectly inside the punched window. Once you’re lined up, stamp the sentiment onto the other layer in Gray Granite.
Here’s the two layers side by side again – I have gone ahead and colored the flowered layer using markers. To begin constructing the shaker, flip over the “window” layer and use Snail adhesive to adhere a piece of window sheet or acetate film that completely covers the window opening. I then used dimensional strips to create a “well” on the sentiment layer where my shaker goodies will go. Make sure there are NO gaps! I also placed pieces of the dimensional strip in the corners and the center so that when I assemble the two layers it will stay level on the front.
Add your shaker goodies to the “well” – I used the pretty mix of sequins and tiny pearls from our retired Sprinkles Embellishments. Carefully remove the backing from the dimensional strips, trying not to disturb the shaker contents, and then, aligning carefully, lay your top “window” layer over the background layer. Press firmly around the window to make sure there are no gaps, no one like shakers that fly all over, lol.
Finish assembling your card: glue your assembled shaker layers flat to the Granny Apple Green layer, then glue all three layers flat to card front. I added a few Share What You Love Artisan Pearls as well.
