Make a Vellum Shaker Card

I demonstrated how to make these shaker cards in today’s Coffee & a Card Facebook Live. I used the Shimmer Detailed Laser Cut Specialty Paper and vellum from Stampin’ Up! to make the shaker box. I love how the vellum “veils” the sequins underneath.

The camera does not pick up the shimmer on the laser-cut paper but it is a pearl-like finish with a subtle sparkle. The specialty paper comes with 6 sheets; three sheets with a 12″ x 12″ pattern and three sheets with a variety of panels.

I used a smaller, 3-1/2″ x 5′ panel for this card and backed the shaker box with a piece of Mosaic Mood Designer Series Paper.

This card uses one of the 4″ x 5-1/4″ panels from the Shimmer Detailed Laser-cut Specialty Paper and could be adhered directly onto a Calypso Coral card base.

Product List

I sponged the vellum for the shaker box and the tag using Calypso Coral Ink and heat embossed the tag with Copper Stampin’ Emboss Powder. You can watch the replay of my Facebook Live and learn how to make your own shaker card by clicking on this link: https://bit.ly/2xhClWm
