Big Birthday Celebration Shaker Card | Honey Bee Stamps

Hello friends and Happy Friday!

Today's BIG Birthday Celebration Shaker Card is part of the Honey Bee Stamps Celebration Release Instagram Hop. This type of Shaker card holds a special place in my heart as they are not only fun to create but also brings immense joy when gifted, especially for celebrations. They embody the spirit of festivity all on their own! Who can resist the urge to give them a shake? Certainly not me! 

Plus, I'm filled with gratitude and excitement knowing that Honey Bee Stamps has brought to life these pockets, inspired by an idea I shared with the card-making community years ago! Explore the origins of the shaker pocket concept by clicking HERE.

"Look Mom I'm famous", lol!

 There's my card and my name on the packaging! 

CARD RECIPE

  

SHAKER POCKET

• Start with one Bee Creative A7 Shaker Pocket. TIP: for best results, bend the flaps, use a bone folder, and press down the edges to make it as flat as possible. TIP: DO NOT remove the protective layer before doing this step as it will scratch the acetate!
• Trim the background to fit inside the shaker panel. I used a paper from the new Let's Party Paper Pad. TIP: Trim the panel slightly smaller than the Shaker pocket front. I trimmed 1/8th inch off of the top and the side of this 5x7 panel.
• Create the shaker pocket by gluing 3 of the 4 tabs down. 
• Pour your shaker elements into the pocket. I used BOKEH LIGHTS Confetti and some coordinating clay circles that I found in my stash.
• Glue down the last tab to close up the Shaker Pocket.
• Peel off the protective layer. TIP: I like to just remove the layer over the tabs, while leaving the front still mostly covered with the protective layer. This will prevent any scratches or fingerprints until I am ready to add my die cuts to the front of it.
• Attach the finished pocket to the card base. TIP: for best results make sure the tape you use is strong as the acetate will try to pop up if not glued down well. I use Sticky Red Tape 1/4" and apply it as close to the edge as possible.

CARD FRONT

• Die cut and assemble the Lovely Layers: Party Hat - Honey Cuts, the Lovely Layers: Party Blower - Honey Cuts, and the Sundae from the Lovely Layers: Sweets - Honey Cuts. I used coordinating papers from the Let's Party Paper Pad to ensure a seamless and cohesive look. 
• If you still haven't removed the rest of the protective film from the front, remove it now. 
• Glue the pieces onto the acetate card front. I used Bee Creative Glue.
• To embellish the die-cut pieces, I used Let's Party Gem Stickers and glossy accents on a few elements.

SENTIMENT

• For the sentiment, I wanted to use black glitter card stock but could not find it so decided to try something else. I used the Big Birthday - Honey Cuts, I die-cut the top layer using black card stock and then rubbed Bee Creative Watermark Ink, and then used WOW Embossing Glitter BLACK GLINT to heat set it. It is difficult to see the glitter in the photo but there is lots of shine IRL.
• Add tiny glue dots to the back of the die-cut, I like to use liquid glue to allow for wiggle room, plus if there is some smudging it will dry clear. TIP: If there is lots of glue smugging or accidents, use a baby wipe to wipe off excess glue. While the area is still wet, gently wipe it with a clean microfiber dry cloth. This will take care of any streaks.
• BONUS TIP: Place a stamp block over the sentiment and allow it to dry, this will ensure the die cut is flat and allow for good adhesion to the the acetate.

Wow, not only is this the biggest shaker card I have made, but also the most ever TIPS I have shared in making one on a blog post.

Rainbow Shaker Birthday Cards | Studio Katia

Hello Friends!

I am back again today to share these two fun Rainbow Shaker Birthday Cards featuring the NEW Shaker Pockets! If you are following me or Studio Katia on Instagram, you may have seen these already in a Reel that was shared this past weekend. But for those that missed it here are all the details!

Fun fact: Did you know that these pockets were developed as a direct result of my DIY Frameless Shaker Cards, no kidding! In fact, Katia was the first person I approached to turn the DIY version into a product to make life easier for anyone who hated messing with foam tape to create shaker cards. 

Since then various other companies jumped onto this idea and have created them too (I must admit I couldn't contain my excitement about these and did share this idea with others at Creativation). Even still, I am so happy to see Studio Katia finally releasing these as they truly are a game changer when it comes to making shakers.

CARD RECIPE

• Begin by creating the background. For both these cards, I used a piece of pattern paper from the Black on White Paper Set. I then Ink Blended the rainbow starting with yellow ink in the center and then ink blending with pink and blue to create the rainbow blends.
• Trim the piece of paper to create a background for a mini slimline shaker and an A2 shaker.
• Remove the protective layer from the Shaker Pocket.
• I added strong adhesive tape to the back of the card panel, but you could also apply it to the side tabs of the pockets.
• Next, I wrapped the tabs around the panel and secured three sides to the card panel, to create a pocket. 
• I filled this first shaker card with Silver Foil Discs, then sealed the last pocket tab.
• I then attached the panel to an A2 Card Base.

For the front of the card:

• Stamp out the Birthday Sentiment from the It's Your Birthday stamp set. Use ink that sets quickly or you can heat emboss it too.  
• Die cut the sentiment done on vellum, using one of the Dotted Balloons Dies.
• Apply small dots of glue to the balloon behind the stamped image to hide the glue dots.
• Finish by adding a bow.

This next card was done the exact same way with a few differences that I will point out next.

• For this card, I used the Mini Slimline Shaker Pockets.
• The balloon I used comes from the Shaker Balloon Die set.
• The sentiment done in white embossing comes from the Mini Sending Greetings stamp set. To make it look like the sentiment is curved I attached it to the Misti front that way and stamped it out. I then heat embossed it and fussy cut the sentiment adding a tail on the end.
• For the shaker filler, I used both Silver Fever Foil Discs and Crystal Discs.

If you have never made a shaker because they look complicated, or you hate messing with foam tape, like I did, I promise you this is the easiest way to make them and the results speak for themselves. Just look, aren't they magical! Give these a try, I think you will love them! 

Thank you for stopping by and until next time... Happy Crafting!

Happy Halloween Spider Shaker Card | Honey Bee Stamps Spooktacular Release

Hello, my friends!

If you have been waiting to shop the Honey Bee Stamps Spooktacular Release it is available now! Thanks to snail mail I didn't receive my package until a few days ago so I haven't been able to share a bunch of projects gearing up like I have in the past, but no worries they will be coming soon 😁

CARD RECIPE

If you follow me on Instagram you may have seen this card already. This shaker card was so fun to make. I added an element of extra movement to the shaker and suspended the two larger spiders on glitter thread which makes it even funner to shake and watch them move.

If you want to learn how this card was made, I will link to the original post where this technique was born. Click 👉HERE

If you have any questions, leave them in the comment section below and I will answer them for you.

Watch it in action on my latest INSTAGRAM REEL
