Miss You Sequins Shaker Card

April 26, 2014

20140424_184353

Happy Saturday! Today I have a cute sequins shaker card to share with you. Before we get into the details, what do you think of the photo style I tried out here? If you know me, you know that I always have been a “white background simple photo” girl. For some reason, I wanted to play with few different color backgrounds when taking pictures of today’s card. I think it is a nice change, do you agree with me? I am going to do few more and see how I like it. Do you think I should go with this new style or go back to my white background photos?

Alright, so let’s get to our card for today. I actually created this card for Top Dog Dies’ Blog, in honor of the Pretty Pink Posh blog hop that is happening TODAY. If you haven’t tried out sequins products from Pretty Pink Posh, that you are missing something awesome!! Make sure to check Paulina’s product line and grab few of those awesome sequins!! (Let her know Nicole Picadura sent ya :))

Sequins shaker cards are so in trend right now and they are pretty easy to make once you plan it out before you actually dig in to the project. The style I did here is probably the most basic and simple way to go about it. I did another sequins shaker card couple weeks ago, and you can check out the video tutorial here. You will be able to follow along easily.

To start with the project, cut out a regular A2 size card base, make sure it is a top folding card. You will need to decide how big you want the shaker window to be. I cut about 3×4 window of the pattern paper to be a top layer of the card to match the printed clear sheet to fit. I stamped the greeting right onto the card base layer, added few distress ink colors for a blended background.

You will need a 3D foam tape to go right underneath the edge of the cutout window so the sequins don’t fly around too much. You want them to say right where you want them and shake within the measured out area. I love using the 3D foam tape roll for this technique, it is so easy to secure them. I usually pour the sequins right on to of the card base, within where the window area would be, and adhere the top layer (that has the window sheet attached) right on top of the card base. Make sure to not add too much sequins otherwise you won’t be able to have them move around. For this card, I used the Spring Mix Sequins by Pretty Pink Posh.

I took out couple of heart die cuts from the Camera Finishers Die Set and Hearts Mini Album Finishers Die Set by Top Dog Dies. And attached them right onto the corners of the top layer, added a touch of Wink of Stella Glitter Pen for an extra effect. It took me about 20 minutes to put this card together, which is super simple and fast! So there you have it! Quick and easy sequins shaker card using Top Dog Dies die sets and Pretty Pink Posh sequins!

Oh, please make sure to take my online class survey if you haven’t done so. I would greatly appreciate your input. It will help me tremendously as I am planning on online class series to share more tips and techniques with you. Have an awesome day! Hope you enjoyed and thanks for stopping by!

    Happy Holidays and for those who are celebrating, Merry Christmas- Many of us are spending today in an unusual way this year, and many of us are also remembering those we lost. I ask that you keep others in your thoughts this holiday season 💕 sending hugs and loves to your way ❤️❤️

Made cookies and cheesecake brownies for our next door neighbors who are spending today alone. I added a little touch with stamps and inks to dress up the cookie boxes 🎁

    Happy view 🥰🥰 New ink storage system for my office/studio desk. I wanted the most used inks right at my fingertips and these Alex drawers hold them perfectly. I am keeping both full sized and cubes together, along with 1 mini cube blending tool for each color family. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 #scrapsandstamps #inkstorage #craftroom #craftroomorganization #homestudio
    Good morning and happy Saturday lovlies!! 👋🏻👋🏻 I just realized my last post about 3-4 months ago was a glance at my studio. Lots of things happened in the past few months and Ive been just too stressed out that I lost my desire to craft. 😣Its been a rough yr for everyone and Im ready for a new start! 😍 Are you?? Im going to start working towards getting some routines where I can feel better and add creativity back to life. Why wait till Jan? We can start now 💕

I just moved and finally got around to finishing up my studio. Im such a perfectionist that it took me a while to get everything where I wanted. 😅 Im happy how it turned out and grateful that I can still have a place to work and craft. Im excited to share projects with you soon 🥰🥰🥰

    Took a couple of days off this week to recharge - mental break helps a lot! 👍🏻 While I enjoyed stay-home break, I finished swatching all of #danielsmithwatercolors - now I’ll build my own palette from these and start doing some watercolor with them. Seeing all these made me really happy 🥰🥰 Swatching watercolors are one of my fav ways to distress. What creative projects are you working on this weekend?? #watercolorswatches #watercolor #danielsmithwatercolor #danielsmithartistsmaterials #colorswatches

    I decided to do something new and challenging during this #stayathome time. Took a beginner calligraphy class by @piecescalligraphy and I cant believe how fast 90min went by!! 😍😍 I have a lot of practice to do but really enjoyed learning. These are some of the things we did. My p’s are pretty horrible 😂😂 Cant wait for the next session!

    Happy Monday everyone- 💕💕 I was itching for a change so the other day I moved things around a bit in my studio. (This happens more often than not 😂) Even just a tiny bit of change can bring a big difference and give a fresh feel to your daily norm. Controlling what we can and not losing hope 🙏🏻 I wish you a fabulous and lovely week ahead 💙

    More therapeutic watercoloring session - I find taking the time to color each image with watercolor really helps me to relax. I think it has to do with a slow moving, soft transition of the pigments and water.

This card was made using a brand new #altenewstatementflowers stamp set and #altenewspringgarden
