Rainbow Shaker Birthday Cards | Studio Katia

Rainbow, Shaker, Birthday Cards,Studio Katia,Infinity,Frameless Shaker,Edge to Edge Shaker,flat shaker,Card Making, Stamping, Die Cutting, handmade card, ilovedoingallthingscrafty, Stamps, how to, Shaker Pockets

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.

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!

I am so happy for Alex and her new venture. And even more excited to be a part of this journey of hers as I have been a fan of hers for the longest time.

Both my cards feature a couple of adorable cuties from the new Smile and Wave Stamp and Die Set. If you have been following me you know I have a thing for shaker cards and love to come up with different ways to make them. For these two cards, I used my clear bag shaker technique to create two Partial See Through Cards. I won't go into all the how-to details here, but if you are interested in creating cards like these, click HERE for the complete tutorial!

With both cards, I stamped out the critters using Copic-friendly black ink and then colored them in using Copic markers. I then die-cut the images using the coordinating dies. For some of them, I also cut out another blank die cut to use on the backside to cover up any visible ink that could be seen through the see-through card panel.

For the background, I actually used leftover ink from ink blending done using the Modern Stripes Stencil that I sprayed down with water and pressed into the stencil, resulting in a watercolor transfer. I then split the panel in half to create two cards.
On the inside of the cards, I stamped out a sentiment from the Smile and Wave set. For shaker filler, I used Pastel Rainbow Sequins.

As you can see below, this second card was done pretty much like the first one. I used the excess of the previous background panel to create the "mountain" for my penguin to climb.

For the previous card the critter was glued to the inside of the shaker pocket, but for this one below the stamped images are glued to the outside of the panel. For this shaker filler, I used Pastel Rainbow Confetti. The flatter the filler the better for sending these types of cards through the mail.

Here is what they look like when the cards are opened up. To keep your written message from being seen from the front you just have to write it on the bottom half of the card.

And just so you can get another visual of the see-through shaker panel, here are my fingers behind the front panel of the card.

3D Christmas Tree Flat Shaker Card | Honey Bee Stamps

3D, Christmas Tree, Flat Shaker, Card, Frameless Shaker, Honey Bee Stamps, Christmas Card, Card Making, Stamping, Die Cutting, handmade card, ilovedoingallthingscrafty, Stamps, how to, Pine trees,CAS,

Hello, my friends!

Today's 3D Christmas Christmas Tree Shaker card is part of the Honey Bee Stamps Vintage Holiday Release Instagram Hop. I hope you can join us →there and leave a comment to qualify for two $25 Gift Cards to their shop.

This card is a bit of an oxymoron. It has 3D elements along with a flat shaker window, but the trees do fold flat to fit in an envelope. I will also share a Reel on Instagram where I show you what that looks like later today.

CARD RECIPE
  • Dry emboss the snowflake design using the Pierced Fancy Flakes Cover Plate onto a card panel using white cardstock.
  • Trim off the edges of the panel. (This isn't necessary but I wanted to create a smaller frame to glue to the card front).
  • Build your shaker pocket. 
    • Cut plastic/acetate slightly larger than the panel. 
    • Cut off corners.
    • Fold sides flaps down and adhere in behind with double-sided tape, leaving one side open.  
    • Pour in shaker bits I used Blizzard Confetti Mix (Glitter, flat sequins, or confetti work best to keep down the bulk and they slide around better with limited space).
    • Adhere the remaining flap down to close the shaker pocket.
    • Add the shaker pocket to the front panel of the card base. I used foam tape, but not necessary if you want to make it flat.
    • Use either scrap plastic from packaging, acetate, or a premade shaker pocket. I used packaging plastic this time. If you want to see how I created the first-ever frameless/edge to edge/infinity/flat shaker card watch this video I made a few years ago→ HERE.

  • Cut four layers for each tree using the Pine Tree Dies (Largest and smallest were used here).
  • Used a scoring board and score each tree down the middle. 
  • Fold each tree.
  • Add a line of liquid adhesive down the middle score line of each layer. Glue scored edge of the next tree down. Repeat until the last tree is glued to the top. Allow them to dry completely before fluffing.
  • Add gems or embellish as desired.

  • Die-cut the Merry Christmas greeting from Bitty Buzzwords: Holidays Dies I glued four layers together to give it that chipboard thickness and look.
  • Finish off by gluing the elements to the card front.

I hope you were inspired by this 3D Christmas Tree Flat Shaker Card. I had so much fun making it. This technique will work with many other die cuts to create the 3D effect. I hope you give it a try!

Here's a quick video to show you how this came together.
