Hello friends. Here’s a fun flat shaker card that could be for anyone but in keeping with my masculine card series, I think this one would work well for that theme. This is my first flat shaker but it turns out they are actually easier to make than a regular shaker. It’s win win in my book!
For this card, I cut a piece of Lawn Fawn 100lb Black Licorice Cardstock to 5-1/2 x 8-1/2″ and scored at 4-1/4″ to create a card base and a piece of Catherine Pooler Designs Arnold’s Drive-In Patterned Paper which I die cut with Lawn Fawn LARGE STITCHED RECTANGLE STACKABLES and inked with Catherine Pooler Oh Boy! Ink to tone it down a bit.
I took a clear bag in A2 size (I used the same ones I use for my finished cards) and slid the panel inside it. I taped the excess plastic on the sides to create a tight fit around the card panel. Next I added a bunch of different sequins and sprinkle shaker bits and sealed the top with more double sided tape.
I die cut the large sentiment from Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ as well as Lawn Fawn 100lb Black Licorice Cardstock using the Lawn Fawn Giant Happy Birthday Die. I stamped the rest of the sentiment from the Queen and Company Sentiment Stackers #1 Stampset onto Lawn Fawn 100lb Black Licorice Cardstock with Versamark Ink and White Embossing Powder.
I stamped the balloons from Lawn Fawn Set Elephant Parade Add-On Stampset with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink onto Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″. I colored them with Copic Markers. I used Y02, Y13 & Y17, BV00, BV13 & BV17, and YG01, YG25, and YG17.
On the inside of the card, I cut a piece of Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ to 3-3/4 x 5″ using the Lawn Fawn Small Stitched Rectangle Stackables. I also added a strip of the pattern paper measuring 1 x 3-3/4″ and another balloon.
