How fun are shaker cards? And how fiddly? That’s the reason
I never make them... until now, that is. Lurking on page 177 of the Annual
Catty are Shaker Frames, an item I’d kind of overlooked until I stumbled upon a
technique
video produced by Charlotte Harding over in the Frankfurt office. Ok, so it’s
in German – but you don’t need to understand German to see what she’s doing
and, as soon as I’d watched, I added the frames to my order.
The frames are a ring of foam tape. The big problem with
making your own frames is that if you use anything like sand or glitter inside,
you have to make sure there are absolutely no gaps, so these are perfect for
the job. I used the largest of the frames for this card, which fits the 1 ¾”
circle punch. You get six of each size, 36 in total, which should keep me going
for a while!
I used the Itty Bitty Punch pack to make little flowers to
go inside, but I do think they’re a bit big. Charlotte used the tiny circles
from the cupcake punch; you could also use the tiny heart from the owl punch.
Or, of course, glitter, sand, fake snow, tiny beads... let your imagination go
wild.
