Shaker Pocket Hacks
Flattening the Shaker Pocket:
To eliminate the "pillow effect" caused by the acetate's natural spring, using a heat gun apply gentle heat to the glued tabs once attached to the paper. This resets the plastic's memory, leaving your shaker cards flat and polished.Keep It Clean:
Leave the protective film on the shaker pocket until you're ready to glue it to the card base. This prevents scratches and ensures a pristine finish!Use flat fillers for smoother movement inside the shaker. The flatter the bits, the more fluid the movement!
Use the Lovely Layers: Alice's Gingerbread Lane Honey Cuts to die-cut the gingerbread houses. Add chunky glitter to mimic snow, and use Copic markers for shading and depth.
Use the Horizon Slimline Borders Honey Cuts to die-cut snowy hills, and adhere these along with the houses and die-cut sentiments directly onto the front of the shaker pocket.
Embellish the gingerbread houses with Gingerbread Pearl Stickers and sprinkles.
Stamp cheerful holiday sentiments from the Sprinkled With Joy Stamp Set using a blue ink pad. These coordinate beautifully with the pastel tones of the cards.
