Quick and simple medal shaker card

Hi all, 

It’s been awhile since I last made a shaker card, so today I’m bringing it back with today’s quick and clean design. I’m using the medal dies from Claina Palmer Designs as a shaker window and as the main focal point. 

TUTORIAL:

Starting with a 5x7 stitched frame panel, I inked up the top left and bottom right corners of lilac card to create a diagonal blended background using seedless preserves and wilted violet oxide inks. 

Then, I die cut the wreath medal design and the birthday girl awards die on the inked panel to create a window. I also die cut the wreath and birthday girl dies out of silver Mirri card stock. Once the background panel is done, I embossed the inked background using a diagonal stripe embossing folder before layering the wreath and words on top.  

To create the shaker panel, I adhered a 4x4 sheet of thick acetate underneath the die cut window and proceed to create a shaker pocket with foam tape. I then place the sequins or shaker elements on the matting pink glitter card  being mindful of where the window is positioned, and carefully place the window panel over on top using an L acrylic positioning block to help even out the panel.

I add a couple of strips of sentiments and sayings to the top and bottom of the shaker window with foam squares and to complete the card I adhered some sequins for some extra sparkles before mounting it onto a 5x7 card base. 

This card took me less an hour to make, and today’s blog tutorial and inspiration is about making quick and simple cards that is also just as gorgeous, I hope you give this a try.
