Now let's take a look at the shaker cards I made for the hop and the fun elements I got to play with to make them.
Look at all these fun shaker elements! You know I LOVE a shaker card! So having fun new elements to use to make a shaker really inspires me!
You can see the making of these cards in this video.
The stamp set I am using for these cards is from Avery Elle, it is the Peek-a-Boo Coaster stamp set. I thought I a Halloween carnival was the perfect use for this stamp set.
The first card is a full shaker card made with plastic sheets (formerly sheet protectors) and the Fuse Tool. Fusing plastic around the entire card makes the entire scene a shaker card.
In this close up you can get a good look at the shaker elements. For this card I used the Halloween Clay Bits Mix and the California Poppy seed beads. The Halloween Clay Bit is a mix of halloween clay elements and Halloween confetti. I love the addition of seed beads to a shaker card, they add a fun sound and really help move the elements around the shaker.
For the next card I went for a portrait card using the same stamp set and was happy that my coaster and critters fit on this style of card, as portrait cards are my go to.
For this card the shaker is the moon. I changed up how I colored my critters and coaster, there are so many fun possibilities with these just in how you color them.
To see how I made these backgrounds on these cards, using PanPastels check out the video.
The shaker elements I used on this card are the Halloween Sequin Mix and the Wild Indigo Seed Beads on top of a glittery moon. All the fun Halloween elements are in this mix, jack-o-lanterns, bats, spiders, ghosts, as well as traditional sequins in bright halloween colors.
I also added some Metallic Gold Jewels all around the card to boost the look of stars in the night sky. I love all the shaker elements I got to play with today, I know I will be using them again soon!
