This shaker card was so much fun!
Made this card for a family member who is going through a rough time. I wanted her to know that we loved and supported her. Nothing says that better than a grungy doily, glitter, gold shimmer and sequins that move around! I also wanted to remind her that life is short and sometimes things must come to an end to start the next chapter.
The key to a shaker card is depth. I achieved that with some foam tape. Wanted the layers to also add depth, so added a bit of cardboard, little doilies, and paper to lift it off the page.
It got mailed in a soft mailer instead of a traditional envelope due to it's size!
Making the card was very easy with a great cutting file. The files are from THE CUTTING CAFE and I used the Polaroid shaker to make this card.
To give the whole thing more depth, I also cut out an extra Polaroid frame from thick cardboard on my cutting machine.
And yes, I took this photo on SNOW! It was cold enough, it wasn't going to hurt the card one bit!
Hope your Monday is fantastic!
Love the depth to your card, Mitra. Colors are awesome. Of course the ribbon is the bees knees.
