How To Make A Shaker Card

1. Making a Shaker Without a die

Fold your chosen backing paper around your frame and cut off the corners.

2

Glue down making sure the paper is nice and 'tight'. 

I used Collall photo-glue as it's easy to rub off the excess. (Up date. Now I use Collall All purpose glue)

3

Smooth out the edges and corners and

your frame should now look like this.

4

Fix Double Sided tape to the acetate, rather 

than the frame, the backing paper will be easier to peel off.

5

Fix the acetate to the back of frame using Double Sided tape.

6

Choose paper that will match well with the frame and your

card, as this will be seen through the 'window' ~or not if you put too much shaker 'stuff' in!

The frame can be fixed straight onto your card, if you wish~ but not yet...

7

Cut out the chosen paper and attach to your card. Make sure there's no sticky bits or your beads will stick to it later. You can add wording or a Stickeroo too! (I'm using Pink Petticoat papers)

8

Fix 3D foam to the back of the frame (over the acetate) make sure there's no gaps, otherwise you'll lose all your beads!

9

Add some beads or glitter. If it's a beach card you

could add sand! Or how about snowflakes for Christmas!!

10

I add a little bit of glue stick over the 3D foam, to stop it 

being too sticky, that way, I can still lift it off if it's wonky!

11

Press your frame down firmly over your beads.

12

And there you have it...
