I love your tutorials! Even though this is a year later, I find your techniques so helpful. My first attempt was what you would expect. I see where I went off and am looking forward to trying again. Thanks!

Thanks so much! Yes the foam board makes it a lot easier. TFW xo Jen

I'd recommend wiping the acetate with glass cleaner to get rid of the static

[@sweetsue51]

There I am underneath this comment. I so enjoy watching all of your videos, U wish I did not have to work and I could craft more because I love doing it. Someday I will sent you some of my cards for you to see

They’re very fun to make, and the foam board eliminates much of the frustration. Thanks so much for watching! xo Jen

[@maryloustasny4612]

Thanks so much for the tutorial and advice to use the manual cutting machine instead of the electric. I also thank you for using the die I purchased previously thanks to you...perfect combo! I look forward to trying this. Again, thank you for answering our request.

I’m thrilled that my video is helpful. Have fun making this cute shaker! Thanks so much for watching! xo Jen

[@Yeyasnook]

Thank you so much for this tutorial and the foam tip!!! And you may know this already, but just in case. The quickstick on the other end that tip should come out and probably has two different tips that you can use to hold down the little pieces.

Enjoyed watching the process. It looks like foamboard is the way to go. I've heard that foam board ruins the dies. But it doesn't look like it to me. Adorable cup. Thanks for tutorial.

Hi ya. I have been using the foam board for years and I have never had it ruin my dies. It’s the best for making shakers Happy crafting

Jen !!! Thanks a million--although everyone tells you to make a shaker out of a die, no one actually shows you how!!!! Especially for those of us who don’t know . I’ve made a few, wrong I’m sure, because I never really knew what piece cut what ! Since I have this die set, it was so easy to follow along. Thank you so much for this tutorial!!😘❤️

[@clomcandle6188]

Totally agree with you! I've never made one because I just didn't nowhow to! Now I know I have this die and can't wait to give it ago!

For all of the reasons you noted, foam board is a WAY better choice than craft foam. Thank you!!

Love this project! It's adorable! I am thinking of making some with the grandkids. I need to get on the ball to get supplies. Thank you for showing the foam board. I wouldn't have thought it would go through the machine with the same sandwich! Very cool technique!

[@crochetessentialsbylisa]

THANK YOU!!!! Now I have a video to refer back to. I'm wondering if the width of my top piece was too narrow and why it would get flatten. Most likely, learning new things! Thank you, Jen very very helpful.

[@strawberrycream39Jen]

That definitely could be why! Thanks so much for watching. xo Jen

[@kimmiegirl8712]

Thanks so much for the tutorial! I realize now that I was using a different sandwich when I tried the foam board. I use the sizzix chrome plate, but will have to change that with the foam board.

Finally! I can ditch the foam!! Thank you so much Jen. I would love to see you make a shaker mix video. I always struggle with making cute mixes.

Thank you so much for sharing. Excited to try the foam board. My shaker mix always wants to stick to the sides of the foam tap and so time consuming.

I know how frustrating that is! Hopefully this way will eliminate some of that. Thank you so much for watching! xo Jen

[@user-DonsWoman]

I made my first shaker card.. I didn't use any of those materials... I bought "Girl Power" from $ Tree craft square (I thought it was a sticker but it was a transfer iron-on).. I kept it in its original package. I unsealed it added confetti stars & b'day cakes then resealed it. On the outside of the package also used bits of glue dots to a few stationary confetti pieces. I also added sentiment stickers: God Bless & Happy B'day. Shaker part done... I don't have any card stock b/c I've been using store bought (blank inside) & recently decided to zhush ' m up. I needed some kind of thicker board to adhere to the shaker so I grabbed a frozen dinner box... I kept folding it.. I thought, do I really need the flaps on the end? After a few minutes it all came together & created a pocket .. Made sure the white side faced outward. I used lots of glue dots to one side & decorated the other. I thought about reg glue but I wanted it to be able to pull off if she wants to use the iron-on. I cut out letters & words from junk mail packages.... "You are smart, special, champion, and great value" Added washi tape to cover the edge of this side of the card to hide my scissor cutting.. LoL (The shaker hid the other side) I was racking my brains out trying to figure out how to do an envelope ..I watched several vids... I got the idea to use a piece of legal paper but it didn't fit so used package paper (brown) & gift wrapped it. Decorated the outside after writing address w/stickers & washi tape. I also added a belly band from sticker strip.. attached by scotch tape. (Glue dots didn't work) I added a small gift inside the pocket & a written letter. It should be arriving at her house well yesterday but since Labor Day post didn't run so maybe tmrw? ~ I hope she likes it!! Posted Sept 3, 2024

[@sweetwaterscards]

This has been the best tutorial on making a shaker I have ever seen! Thank you for showing which die goes to the acetate and which goes to the foam board. That has always confused me. I have that little gingerbread cup die so now I have a reference on how to make it a shaker. Yours came out so incredibly sweet. ❤

[@suzanlaverty547]

Hi Jen!! Thank you for the tutorial! I usually use layers of 110 lb cardstock to make a shaker, so this will be so much easier. Big Hugs, Suzan

[@debbymccormack6525]

OMG, OMG, OMG! So cute Jen! I'm going to start using foam board. So much easier AND more cost efficient too. I have every color of alcohol markers known to man so I'm going to see if it's possible to color around the edges of the foam board shape. That will camouflage it a little I think. Thank you for sharing this with us!

[@strawberrycream39Jen]

Thank you Debby! Great idea to color the sides of the foam board. Once in a while, I’ll use narrow trim to cover it up. Tfw xo Jen
