Birthday Shaker Card
Hi readers! Thanks for stopping by today. We’ve got a great card sample from the fabulous Lucy Abrams! Aren’t her sequin packs just over the top GORGEOUS? She even incorporated some fun paper piecing to make this adorable Birthday shaker card. Care to give it a try? Read on!
Hi. Today I have a fun birthday shaker card to share with you. To make my card, I first stitched a sheet of acetate to some MFT chevron patterned paper, leaving an opening at the top. I filled the pocket with Lucy’s Cards Lagoon Sparkly Shaker Selection, then stitched up the gap and adhered the shaker pocket to a folded card. Next, I die cut a Large Tag from some Hero Arts Letterpress paper, then splattered with some Peacock Feathers Distress Ink mixed with water.
I stamped the dog and balloon from Hero Arts Party Time by Lia set on more chevron papers, and fussy cut them out. I stamped the balloon again on the tag, then paper pieced the chevron balloon on top and added the dog. Finally, I stamped the sentiment from Simon Says Stamp’s Birthday Flowers set on white card, cut it out and added to the tag. After threading the tag with some Lawn Fawn cord, I adhered it to the card with foam tape. Thanks so much for visiting – I hope you enjoy your day.

Such a fun card! Yes, Lucy’s sequin mixes are awesome!
Oh how fun is this shaker?! They are my favorite type of card. Love that the whole area of the card is a shaker. And that adorable dog with his balloon is the sweetest.
The sequins are amazing; talk about a fantastic shaker…and how cute is the puppy and balloon tag! Thanks for the smiles today…

The sequins look wonderful dazzling inside the shaker part. I have not tried to stitch acetate on my sewing machine and perhaps I’ll give it a try. Have a BEE-utiful day!

Love this shaker card and the way you stamped the little puppy on chevroned paper. Very inspirational:)
I love the idea of making a shaker card all over, not just in the middle of the card (like usual).
Love this!

What a cute card.
Great card! I have yet to make a shaker card, need to start!
So sweet with the adorable tag on top! ❤
LOVE this card!
this is a good idea.
I get aggravated that the sequins get caught
in the edges when you have a raised shaker.
these will stay where you want them.
thanks for sharing.
Wow! Great shaker card! Love it! And congrats to all the lucky winners!
OMG how clever is this!! I love the blue sequins you have used. What a fab idea to stitch the acetate to the card and then fill it! I am so impressed!
