St. Patrick's Day Shaker Card
Hello! Nadine here today with a St. Patrick's Day shaker card.
To create my card, I first stamped the Leprauchan Sheamus with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and then colored it with Copic markers and fussy cut it out. Next, I die-cut out a circle on the front panel piece of my card. Used some Scor-Tape around the backside of the panel around the circle and adhered some acetate. Above the cutout circle, I stamped the Happy St. Patrick's Day Shamrock sentiment. I added foam squares all the way around the circle, making sure that the spaces between each one were small enough so that the Irish Party shaker pieces couldn't fit through. I added more foam squares around the outer edges of the front card panel and adhered it to my card front. Then, I adhered the Leprauchan Sheamus to the front of my card.
STAMPS USED:
Leprauchan Sheamus

4th of July Parade Shaker Card
Hello friends! Ericka here, and today I have a fun 4th of July shaker card using the 4th of July Kids stamp. I love this fun stamp, and it reminds me of our yearly 4th of July neighborhood parade.
I stamped the Happy 4th Big sentiment, and white heat embossed it on my red cardstock. I die-cut an opening on the cardstock and then glued a piece of clear plastic to the opening. I lined the plastic with some foam tape and added my fun sequins from my stash. I stamped the 4th of July Kids stamp in Versafine Clair Twilight and clear embossed it, and added it to the back. I attached my shaker to a card base to finish up my card. Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you have a wonderful week!

Birthday Mini Slimline Butterfly Shaker Card
Hello! Thank you so much for dropping by! This is Shanna with Caffeinated Craftiness and I have a fun birthday shaker card featuring stamps from Crackerbox Stamps.
--or available separately--
Butterflies Solid: small or large
I started out my card today with a mini slimline sized panel that I had leftover from a gel press session I had done previously. I love creating multiple gel prints when I create with a gel press and this is exactly why---quick and ready to go panels!! I used the Butterfly Solid stamps and stamped them all over the background using a gray ink.
Next I grabbed a scalloped frame die from my stash and diet a frame out of black cardstock and set it aside. For my window I used heat resistant acetate. That means I was able to stamp and heat emboss on the acetate without warping/melting it--total game changer! I stamped the It's Your Birthday sentiment in embossing ink onto a piece of the acetate cut to the same size as my frame and then heat embossed with black embossing powder. Once cooled, I adhered the acetate piece to the black scalloped frame.
For the shaker bits I added a variety of flat sequins from my stash and then attached the frame window to the card base, over the sequins, using a double thick foam tape. The entire shaker panel was mounted to a white card base to finish off the card.
I love creating shaker cards, I feel like they are a unique and fun card both to give and to receive! Do you like making shakers?
Thank you so much for stopping by today, I hope you enjoyed my project. Be sure to check out my personal blog Caffeinated Craftiness, or follow me over on my Instagram for all of my caffeinated adventures!
See you all again soon,

Grumpy Frog Infinity Shaker Birthday Card
It's Marcia today with a grumpy frog infinity shaker birthday card for your best friend. The frog stamp is part of the new April release; be sure to visit the New Stamps category to see all the funny new sentiments and images.
Supplies used:
Frog Grumpy
100% Sweet
Without Me (Currently on sale!)
Birthday 4
Infinity shaker cards are really fun and quite popular right now. I'm a fan of using tulle for shaker cards because it is so much easier (and quicker) to use. I began by stamping the frog on a scrap of watercolor green paper in green ink, using the same ink color for the sentiments. I colored the spots and eyelids on the frog with a yellow alcohol marker and added a shadow to the eye. I colored the rest of the eyeball with a white gel pen, adding "shine" dots to the pupils.
To add the frog and speech bubble to the front of the tulle infinity panel, I first adhered just the bottom part of the tulle to the bottom back of the card panel with double-sided tape. Then, I flipped up the tulle panel and added the frog and speech bubble to the tulle with foam adhesive where I wanted them on the card front.
To prevent the foam tape adhesive from interfering with the shaker elements once assembled, I attached scrap paper to the backside of the foam tape that shows through the tulle (see pic). This prevents the shaker elements from attaching to the exposed adhesive. Then I merely closed up the tulle front, adding my shaker mixture before adhering to the final flap of tulle.
The inside of the card wasn't left untouched. I stamped the frog again using second-generation stamping for a lighter image. (First, stamp the image off onto a scrap of paper and then stamp the second time onto the intended surface.) The "Happy Birthday" was stamped in black ink.
