Let’s Get Hopping 28: Shaker Card

Welcome to my blog!

I’m back with the Let’s Get Hopping crew today & our theme this month is Shaker Cards. I always love a good interactive card & I especially love shakers! Shaker cards are also super fun to make. You would’ve come from the talented Nina King McMillan or starting with me, either way, be sure to hop right around to check out all the amazing inspiration we have for you 😊

Once I decided on which stamp set I wanted to use, I came up with an idea for my shaker. I was a little worried about my initial layout for the idea & wasn’t sure it would work. I decided to CASE the layout I used for last month’s Let’s Get Hopping hop.

This was how I changed it up into a shaker card…

I love how you can fill a shaker card with just about anything you want. Here I’ve filled my shaker with some Dazzling Diamonds glitter that I had dyed with Seaside Spray ink refill. I also added a watercoloured boat to the inside of the shaker.

TIP: Remember to dust the window sheet with your Embossing Buddy when using glitter as your shaker filling. This will remove static from the window sheet & allow the glitter to shake around freely without getting stuck to the window sheet 😊

Here’s a closer look at the shaker fillings…

I added a frog and some birds to the front of the shaker for added interest. The sentiment on the frame also allows the texture from the High Seas 3D embossing folder shine through.

TIP: Add Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the boat, without removing the backing to raise it slightly. This means that the boat will be closer to the window sheet so it won’t look like it’s sinking in the water. The boat will still move in the shaker as the the frame is raised up using the Foam Adhesive Strips, which is a smidge higher than the Stampin’ Dimensionals 😊

I finished the inside of the card by adding some of the ground image…

I am so glad I purchased this set, it’s a really versatile set that’s useful for so many occasions & great for both feminine & masculine cards. I look forward to playing with this set even more.

I do hope that this project has inspired you to consider buying or using the By the Dock bundle. It’s a great price for a very versatile set.
