I remember the first time I ever saw a shaker card. I thought it was such a neat idea and yet I was really intimidated to try it. Eventually, I did try it and it really wasn’t as hard as I thought it would be. After making the first one I was on a shaker card kick for quite a while. But then like most card makers I moved on to the next new thing!
For today’s tutorial I thought it would be fun to make a shaker card with a Scene it set.
Here’s what you’ll need:
Stamps:
-By the Seashore (Scene It!)
Paper:
-CHF Simply Smooth white
-Patterned Paper (I used Cosmo Cricket)
-Solid Paper (I used Prism Sunflower Light)
Ink:
-Memento Tuxedo Black dye ink by Tsukineko
-Adirondack Aqua dye ink by Ranger
-Copic Markers
Other:
-Clear Cardstock
-sand
-Nestabilities by Spellbinder
-EK Success Scallop Punch
Step 1:
Stamp the “beach” in black ink on a 4″ x 4″ piece of white paper.

Step 2:
Create a “mask” by stamping the “beach” image on a post it note. Cut out the image and use it to cover the beach you stamped on the white paper. Stamp the “ocean” on your image.

Step 3:
Complete the scene by stamping the trees and the birds. Stamps the pheasant lady on a white scrap of paper. Color both of these images and set aside.

Step 4:
Cut a square of patterned paper 5″ x 5″. Used the scallop punch on one side of a 2 1/2″ by 5″ strip of solid paper and then adhere to the front of the square panel. It should look like this when you are done.

Step 5:
Use a nestabilities dye to cut a “window” out of the square panel as shown.

Step 6:
Adhere a piece of clear cardstock/Acetate to the back side of the panel to cover the “window” you’ve created.

Step 7:
Flip panel back over. Stamp sentiment in black ink on top of yellow strip. Cut out pheasant woman and adhere to the front. Add shell dye, sticker, or other embelishment as you wish. Set aside.

Step 8:
Create a 5 1/4″ x 5 1/4″ top folding card out of solid paper. Adhere colored seashore image to the front of the card as shown.

Step 9:
Go back to the “window” panel and adhere double sided dimensional tape all around the edges of the cut out window.

Step 10:
Pour a tiny amount of sand over the seashore scene and then adhere the “window panel to the front of the card. Push down firmly so that none of the sand spills out. They sell “sand” at most craft stores. Now you have a very fun shaker card to give to someone special!
