Hello everyone! Today's project is super cute, happy and sparkly! I'll be
using products from
This shaker easel card was fun to make and I came up with a technique to really
customize your product! Let me show you how I made my card!
I first started by die cutting my rainbow and bird out of white card stock and placing
them on my Stick & Stamp Mat.
I didn't have the colors I was looking for to do this project, so I took Fallen Snow
Glitter Glaze and mixed a bit of Chroma Mists into it for each color. The Chroma
Mist colors that I used were: Pink, Yellow Orange, Yellow Green, Blue Violet,
Lilac Purple and Turquoise.
I pulled these off my mat, cleaned my mat and then let these pieces dry. I also
die cut 3 of the sparkles using Sterling Elegant Essentials. Once everything was
dry I mounted my rainbow strips onto the base - there is a die for that. I also put
my bird together and used a black marker for the eye and legs.
I made a 4 1/4" x 4 1/4" white card base. I
scored the front of the card in half to create my easel. I made a panel of
what card stock for the upper half that was 4" x 2". I inked blended in
a sky using Simon Hurley's breakup blue ink.
For the bottom half of the card - the shaker part - I cut the same
2" x 4", but also allowed for the rainbow someplace to sit. I then
die cut the two little clouds that would become the shaker. I
ink blended on this panel as well. Next I die cut the bottom of
the rainbow on both sides to accommodate the shaker holes.
I put foam tape on the back of the panel but not the top of the rainbow part. I
filled the cloud part with rainbow confetti and some other bits.
Next I adhered my rainbow. I put an acetate strip behind the bird and attached
him to the rainbow. I adhered my twinkle pieces and added some small silver
twinkle bits for added sparkle. I also die cut a few clouds and used them on the
top portion along with more twinkle bits.
For the inside I cut another 4" x 4" panel and ink blended it the same as the
front pieces. I die cut 3 of the shadow layers of the sentiment out of white
card stock. I die cut the letters out of coordinating card stock to make a rainbow
when glued together. I added Fallen Snow Glitter Glaze on top of the letters
to make them sparkle.
And that finished my card!
And that finished my card! I hope you enjoyed this sparkly shaker card! So
fun to create with all of these dies! Find this set and more at
