This card, another of the projects from June’s Stamp Club, uses a new stamp set, new Designer Series Paper, new Framelits Dies, and a new adhesive.

The Confetti Celebration stamp set is perfect for shaker cards. The sentiments are perfect for inside a round, square, or star shaped shaker.  Today’s card uses the round “HOORAY” sentiment. 

The new Pop of Pink Specialty DSP, is amazing. One side of each sheet is black and white, and the other side has Melon Mambo! There are also two specialty sheets of white with gold. For this card I used the black and white bold stripe. 

I cut all the pieces of the shaker with the new Layering Circles Framelits. Did you know there are 16 dies in this set? 16! 

The shaker is held together with the new Foam Adhesive Strips. These are 1/8″ wide by 9″ long foam strips, and you get 10 yards in a pack for only $8! They are perfect for shaker cards and for spinner cards.

Here’s how I made it:

The card base is Melon Mambo card stock with a Pop of Pink DSP layer glued to it. I stamped the sentiment from the Confetti Celebration stamp set in Melon Mambo directly onto the DSP.

For the shaker, I cut a piece of Whisper White card stock, clear Window Sheet, and Melon Mambo card stock with the same circle die. I used a smaller die to cut the center out of the Melon Mambo piece, making sure the hole was big enough to show the whole stamped sentiment inside. I stamped the sentiment in Basic Black onto the Whisper White card stock piece.

I used Fast Fuse to adhere the Melon Mambo frame to the round Window Sheet piece. I think dry adhesives work better on the Window Sheet that liquids. I put the Foam Adhesive Strip around the perimeter of the white piece, cutting it so the two ends meet with no space between. I put a pinch of Brights Sequins in the middle, then lined up the front with the back and pressed them together. Then I glued the shaker onto the card front.

Here’s a reminder of the layers of the shaker – the sandwich – from top to bottom:

• card stock frame
• Fast Fuse or Tear & Tape adhesive
• window sheet
• Foam Adhesive Strip
• stamped card stock

There is a trick to preventing the sequins from sticking where they shouldn’t. Right before you put in the sequins and stick the two sides of the shaker together, wipe the Window Sheet and the inside of the shaker with the Embossing Buddy. It’s make to prevent static electricity when heat embossing, and it also helps prevent static in your shaker. This will help the sequins, glitter, or whatever you put inside, move freely inside.

Here’s what I used:
