Snow Fox Shaker Card for Cherish the Memory


"Frozen Forest" Paper Kit Shaker Card



I am officially addicted to making shaker cards...and I am so grateful to be designing for Cherish the Memory because after having received these lovely card kits, making shaker cards has been a pure breeze! Honestly, I can't seem to get myself to make a non shaker card these days. I am ALMOST done with finishing my Christmas cards for friends and family, and they have been all...you guessed it...shaker cards!

You can purchase the card kit by clicking on the images to be directed to Cherish the Memory's Etsy

As you can see from the picture above, the pages from the card kit come perforated already, so it's too tempting to make these into shaker cards, all you have to do is to grab a circular metal die closest to the size of the image and cut the background provided within the kit, add some foam mounting tape to the back, then add your sequins and done!




Tip: When making shaker cards, adding seed beads not only gives shaker windows a cool effect, but also enhances the sound when you shake it as well as improving the movement of the sequins inside. Seed beads of all colors can be found at your local craft store in the jewelry section. The smaller the smaller the better!



To tie the elements of the card to the silver foiled background, I used some metallic silver embroidery floss and tied an ornamental coordinating die cut leaf from the kit and also to make the letters of "snow" appear to be attached. I used Tonic Nuvo drops and Ranger Liquid pearls for the embellishments.


If you like foiled papers, like myself, you will be love these kits!






I truly hope you've enjoyed my blog post! Any feedback is always greatly appreciated. Look for future YouTube videos in the near future!
