I've been card making and paper crafting for a very long and have tried a lot of different techniques and supplies, but for some reason I have never created a shaker card. Craziness right?! Well today I decided to check this technique off my to do list! I have a super cute not-so-scary Halloween shaker card to share with you!
To create my card I used my Cameo to cut a card front measuring 4 in. x 5.25 in. with a coffin shaped window using the Spider Coffin Box SVG cut file from the Silhouette store. To create the window, I traced the edge of the spider web layer to create a solid panel, and then center aligned it within the card front panel. I then stamped the card front using Versamark ink & the Background Stripes stamp by Red Rubber Designs. I heat embossed it using some black sparkly embossing powder, and then inked the edges of the panel using Versafine Onyx Black ink.
Isn't this Lil' Dracula just too cute? He's one of the images included in the Delightfully Spooky Dracula stamp set. I colored him using Copic markers and Faber Castel Polychromos colored pencils, fussy cut him out. Instead of using foam tape, I used chipboard to pop him up. I can't recall where I saw this being done but I really like the results! It's super sturdy and possibly more economical than using foam tape because I always seem to have an abundance of chipboard lying around.
I decided to arrange my little Dracula so that he looks like he's popping up out of the coffin so I tucked his feet behind the card front but on top of the acetate window. I used seed beads, tubular confetti, and glitter for my shaker card filling and then adhered the panel to a white A2 card base. I think I should have added more shaker filler, but I like the fact that the contents shake freely and provides a lot of movement. I can't wait to create more shaker cards!
