It’s Anita’s first shaker project ever! For her bubble tea shaker tag’s background, she used acrylic paints and various stamps. She used a coffee die and an actual teabag for the shaker component, with sequins and seed beads. For the quote, she used Tim Holtz Sizzix Thinlits die and Altenew Simple Alpha die with Prima Marketing Metallique acrylics.

Anna-Karin created a shaker card with a forest theme. She used the Memory Box Small Pine Tree Collage die to die cut the window. The background was stamped with the SSS Old Letter Background stamp and the shaker was filled with sequins and mica flakes.

Barbara created an unusual shaker card! She loves steampunk style so the Tim Holtz Sizzix Foundry 3D embossing folder is perfect for the background. She altered it with Distress paints, Evergreen bough, Crackling Campfire, and Prima Marketing Firebird Finnabair Art Alchemy Metallique Wax. Inside of the Sizzix Shaker Domes, she inserted a hat from the set The Professor by Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous.

Cheiron created a fun shaker tag using Sizzix Shaker Domes. She blended her tag with Distress Inks and stamped it with Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous Perspective, Field Notes and Simple Sayings stamps. She filled her shaker dome with Sizzix Sequins and Beads.

Kath is shaking it up with a winter scene card using Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Winterscape and Tiny Text Christmas with Tim Holtz/Sizzix Stunning Snowflake, Aphanumeric Classic Lower Thinlits and Sizzix Sequins

Lols  was inspired by the Harry Potter Films and made a petronus shaker card using a Tim Holtz Darling Deer Die Set and Simon says Stamp Birch Tree Window Die

Macarena loved to play with shaker so much that she made two cards. She used a Tim Holtz Dearly Departed stamp with flowers and colored them with Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Ink pads. She placed the sequins in a window made with Simon Says Stamp Shimmer Oval die.

Maura made a shaker card using Simon Says Stamp World of Love Sentiment stamp, Simon’s Slimline White Scored Cards, and Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Way With Words stamp set.

Meihsia was inspired to create a Valentine’s Day shaker card with Tim Holtz Idea-Ology Paper Stash Memoranda on the background and using Simon Says Clear Stamps Love Greetings Mix to decorate it. 

Sandra had fun making a shaker card, and added some stamping with the Dapper, Entomology and Faded Type stamp sets, and the used the Simon Says Stamp Ring Frame die around the shaker. 

Zoey used a Tim Holtz Etcetera #8 TAG CHIPBOARD and she decorated it with Tim Holtz Cling Rubber Stamps 2020 FOREST FLOOR CMS422 , Tim Holtz Distress Paint and some Tim Holtz DISTRESS MICA FLAKES Ranger tdr69140. For the “shake part” she added Tim Holtz Idea-ology SNOWGLOBES with a bunch of Distress Glitter inside.
