Sending You an Easter Hello Shaker Card | Picket Fence Studios

Front of an Easter shaker card with the "Happy Easter" die-cut sentiment filled with sequins, a stenciled grassy background, and adorable bunnies holding eggs and chocolates.

Hello, crafty friends! Today, I’m thrilled to share a cheerful and interactive Easter card featuring some amazing products from the January Picket Fence Studios Release. This project combines stamping, stenciling, and shaker elements to create a card full of dimension, sparkle, and adorable details.

CARD RECIPE

Other Supplies


Front of the Card:


Background Preparation:
I started by coloring the background for the "Happy Easter Word Die" sentiment using Paper Splatter - Opaque Pale Lavender. To achieve a solid, vibrant color, I applied multiple layers and allowed the ink to dry thoroughly.

Stencil Blending:
Using the Scene Building A2 Stencil Set: Layers of Adventures, I created a soft grassy meadow and sky background with Distress Oxide Inks and Life Changing Blender Brushes. This added depth and set the stage for the shaker element.

Creating the Shaker Frame:
    • I die-cut the shadow layer of the Happy Easter Word Die from the stenciled background.
    • Next, I adhered acetate to the back of the panel and lined up and glued the die cut piece with the card base to ensure perfect alignment.
    • To create a well for the shaker pieces, I used foam tape around the opening, leaving enough space to add the Sequin Mix Plus - Easter Bop.
    • After placing the shaker bits in the center of the card base, I carefully aligned and adhered the front panel over it. Pro Tip: Adding a little glue to the foam tape allows some wiggle room to perfect the alignment.
Adding the Sentiment:
    • I die-cut the "Happy Easter Word Die" sentiment three times—twice in white cardstock for stacking and once with the lavender layer for the top.
    • Using a paintbrush, I applied a thin layer of glue across the middle-to-top portion of the letters and sprinkled Prisma Glitter for a fine sparkle.
    • For the bottom portion, I repeated the process with chunky glitter to create a beautiful ombrΓ© effect.
    • Finally, I adhered the glittered sentiment to the acetate opening.
Adding the Bunnies:
The cute bunnies from the Follow that Bunny Stamp Set were stamped with Picket Fence Studio Black Hybrid Ink, colored with Copic markers, and die-cut using the Follow that Bunny Coordinating Die Set. I arranged them around the shaker frame to complete the playful Easter scene.

Inside of the Card:

Finishing Touches:

The cute piggie image from the Big Piggie Hugs Stamp Set is the star of this card. I stamped it using the PFS Black Hybrid Ink, colored it with Copic Markers, and added finishing highlights using a white gel pen. The basket of vegetables and oversized carrot bring the scene to life with their bright, playful colors.

The sky was ink-blended with soft pastel tones using Distress Oxide Inks and the Life-Changing Blender Brushes. I used the Scene Building A2 Stencil Set to shape the fluffy clouds, which were embellished with Chunky Glitter for added sparkle. This touch gives the card a whimsical and dreamy vibe.
