Christmas DIY Shaker Card and all My Best Shaker Card Tips!

DIY Shaker Card squareToday I'm going to share all my best secrets for making a simple Shaker Card, no fussing about just quick, simple and reliable!  If that's not enough I've made this card using the beautiful Prima Rose Quartz collection and shimmering Starburst sprays from Lindy's as part of a very special Christmas YouTube Hop with some amazing artists - I can't wait for you to see what Tiffany, Bona, Anita, Lanette and Tantalya have created!  

SUPPLIES

To make a card like this you'll need to gather the following supplies:
AFFILIATE LINKS IN USE WHERE POSSIBLE

Start by spraying two pieces of card with some sparkly Lindy's Starburst Sprays: I used Gag Me With a Spoon Grey, Toto's Tornado Black and Silent Night Silver.

When dry your papers will have a stunning shimmer perfect for Christmas.

 Flick a little Silent Night Silver onto the lightest coloured piece of card.  This will be the top layer.

Flick some Sidewalk chalk spray onto the darkest piece of card and dry with a heat gun.  This will be the base card.

Use two coordinating Memory Box Dies to cut the images for the shaker scene - one from the lighter Starburst sprayed card and one from the darker piece.

Layer the dies behind the paler piece of card (after cutting a circle from it) and use both double-sided adhesive tape and double sided foam tape to add height.

Create a little pile of glitter, sequins and whatever else you would like on top of the base card - place it directly in the centre of where the cut out hole will be positioned and then layer the front panel directly over the top.

 Then all you need to do is add a few little embellishments to the card and you're finished!
