DIY Rainbow Shaker Card

with Lisa Salkeld

Follow my easy step-by-step guide to make your own shaker card with the Saying Thanks kit by Stampin’ Up!

✦Shaker- You can use window sheets (like acetate, or transparency sheets) and sticky foam strips to create your peek-through shaker element. Today I will use the precut heart panel from the kit, along with window sheets and foam strips (1/8 thickness) to make my shaker element.

First, find the heart panel in your kit. Push out any of the heart shapes that may still be in the precut panel. The heart-shaped pieces are not needed, set them aside or discard them.

Cut a window sheet slightly smaller than the heart panel. The panel is approximately 4 x 5-1/8, so your window sheet should be approximately 3-7/8 x 5.

Use tear and tape to adhere the window sheet to the back of the heart panel. The heart panel should still be flat, but have two layers, the panel and the window sheet.

Next, adhere foam adhesive strips around the edge of the back of the heart panel, on top of the window sheet layer. Make sure the foam tape is not visible from the front of the card. The heart panel now has dimension.

Choose a card base from the kit. Open it flat, right-side up. Add a small pile of your shaker assortment mix to the center of the front of the card.

From the heart panel, remove the paper layer from the foam tape. Carefully adhere the heart panel to the front of the card. Run your finger over the edges of the card to make sure the foam strips completely adhere to the card panel. Give it a little shake to make sure your shaker bits stay inside the peek-through shaker element.

Your shaker card base is complete.

✦Ribbon

For a coordinating ribbon, use alcohol markers to add color to the white seam binding ribbon. For this card I used Sweet Sorbet, Parakeet Party, Balmy Blue, and Highland Heather markers. Use the brush tip to quickly add color to your ribbon, alternating between colors, until your rainbow ribbon is complete.

On the front of the card, where you want to place your ribbon, use your snail, or tape runner, to add a bit of sticky. Keep the sticky area narrow so the sentiment will cover any area still showing after you add your ribbon. Lay your ribbon over the sticky area in a winding pattern. You may need to move it around a bit until you are happy.

Choose a sentiment strip from the kit and adhere it with wet glue over top of the ribbon.

✦Embellishments

Add a few embellishments to the card front. Find the iridescent diamond sequins in your kit.

Your Rainbow Shaker is complete.
