Shaker Cards with Amanda Baldwin

#couturecreationsaus

Welcome back everyone!

Amanda here today, sharing with you a cool technique that is so on trend,

Shaker Cards!!!

I know, soooo much fun here!

You may have seen this Christmas card that I created for Issue 5 of Creative Inspirations Magazine, using the Merry Little Christmas Intricutz Die: Christmas Stocking.....

I created ‘negative space’ with my die to create ‘windows’ for my patterned paper.

Today I am using that same technique to create this fun Christmas Shaker Card!

Here’s how…..

1. Using your new Couture Creations Trimmer, prepare your white cardstock

-8 x 6”, score & fold in half.

2. Trim the Vintage Rose Garden: Butterflies & Stripes paper (green quarter)

- 3 ¾ x 5 ¾” & adhere to cardstock, as shown.

3. Select your Couture Creations die; I used the Christmas Stocking. (It’s a great fit lengthwise & it’s also a bit of fun - perfect for a shaker card!) Fold your card so that the patterned paper is facing down onto the die, and the back of the card is tucked under the die & run it through your die-cutting machine a few times. Re-position die and repeat, as shown.
