Let's make a shaker card! I'll share my best tips!

[@krisvanallen]

For the foam tape, I fold it back onto itself, full width, then cut it down the middle. Then I can curve it around with the backing still on it. I can also cut into any width, like thirds, if I need it.

[@cardsbystephanie]

I’ve been crafting for decades and have never thought to fold the double sided foam tape in half. That was downright genius! Thanks for sharing all of your creative tips.

[@czdesign]

I think i learned it from Kristina Werner!

[@vyvein]

Ha I was just about to lay some sookwang tape down when you mentioned varnishing 🤯 💥 ace!

[@suee5617]

Absolutely gorgeous! I love gold and pink together.

[@czdesign]

Thank you! 😊

[@donnaphelan3108]

Beautiful colors. Beautiful dies. Beautiful card. After securing the sticky foam tape all around, take an embossing buddy and rub it all over the sides that are close to the window, helps the sequins and glittery bits not to stick!

[@janacreek6184]

I love this card. Add bling to pink and I’m happy!!!

[@connieeneix3891]

The gold was the right choice as you couldn’t see the pink xoxo. Really great! 👏

[@dizzinese]

I like the red nails and you rounded the corners off! They look fabulous! Good choice! I can’t believe how often you are cranking these cards out!!!

[@czdesign]

The Squoval! That's my fave shape!

[@roxanneklinger3828]

WOW I love that festive berries color. Always love a real red for Christmas and Valentine's day. A real eye catcher. The card is so cute. Great idea.

[@czdesign]

Thanks so much!

[@magsbee3132]

Lovely card! Love love love! Use your needle nose tweezers to pull off the release paper from the glue strip after burnishing. Comes off quite easily that way. Works perfectly for me.

[@tarabeard]

I love the tip for lining it up by using the corner of the score pal. Great idea and beautiful card. Shakers are always a hit!

[@czdesign]

Thanks so much!

[@LisaMFischer]

Let's talk about how beautiful it is! I really love it and I know whoever you give it to, they are going to love it just as much. ❤️❤️❤️

[@czdesign]

Thank you so much!!

[@cathylaycock5598]

This is very pretty. Your dusting buddy is useful against the acetate and also against the foam tape so sequins/glitter won’t stick at all. 😊❤️🇨🇦

[@dizzinese]

Oooh. Great idea on the foam tape and acetate so the sequins don’t stick! I had heard years ago a dryer sheet keeps static off of acetate. Doesn’t the powder cloud the acetate?

[@cathylaycock5598]

@@dizzinese you gently brush it off the acetate with a soft paint brush. I learned this from watching many tutorials here on KZbin. I don’t have any acetate myself yet, so haven’t tried any shakers yet. Maybe in the spring I’ll be able to get some to play with. It’s fun seeing and learning. 😊

[@janicestreckfus3046]

I would to have a dusting buddy! What is name of name product on amazon ??

[@stephanieloughead4479]

The shaker card is very pretty. Perfect colours for valentines. I love the sentiment. That's awesome ❤️

[@czdesign]

Thanks so much!

[@catherinestrong4470]

That's a pretty pretty card

[@francinebrown9758]

Wow! Gorgeous card and way easier than cutting frames put with foam. Definitely giving this a try.

[@kathyd8846]

Love it! Those hearts on top of the shaker took this card to an entirely new level! Beautiful!

[@sarahsmilecards1228]

Pull the scor tape from the side instead of the end. This works for me.

[@mariehansen472]

Wait! Misti t-square? Finally a shorter t-square! I’m in!

[@czdesign]

right?

[@dizzinese]

How nice! A T ruler that isn’t gigantic!!!

[@MelodyElize]

Beautiful. And what a great idea of folding the foam tape instead of cutting and layering to build the height for the shaker element. Woot!

[@czdesign]

It's just faster!

[@teresasanner-fecto3690]

It is simple... simple perfection. I love it!

[@rizaepfiefle5362]

Love this card! My OCD would not allow me to not finish the inside(where the foam tape is )!!! I would have to give it a border so you didn't see the innards of the card!!! LOL...

[@user-DonsWoman]

I was thinking that as welllllll 😁

[@conniefossi1327]

So happy for you getting the limited edition die cutting machine. It's a beautiful color. I love shaker cards.

[@czdesign]

It was my Christmas gift to me! lol!

[@janicerepass5424]

Adorable!

[@kimgrimes632]

There’s your T-square again! Some months ago I actually bought a second standard T-square from Simon and cut it down in length. It worked fine too, but then I saw the new one-yay!

[@pattyeifert4355]

Your commentary always cracks me up!! I don't know how you got all those little slivers of foam behind the skinny letters, but it does look awesome raised like that! Adorable shaker card!

[@KimberlyInSoCal310]

Just a beautiful shaker card Cathy! Not clean and simple as you usually do, but I adore it and it's good to branch out every once in a while because you do such good work regardless of style. I *love* that Imperia cover plate, it's on my Wish List at SSS.

[@czdesign]

Thank you so much!

[@beckykent6674]

Omg beautiful but that tip with the score buddy to line up the card is genious!! Thank you!!

[@sonjah1983]

love the heart die & such a fun shaker card!!!!

[@aliceadler8658]

Dearest Cathy, I enjoy your “craft / dining room” videos. You create some great products!!! I love the “mwah” die cut on this collection!!! You are so talented!!! ♥️🎄💚♥️🎄💚♥️🎄💚

[@olivia8979]

I love making shaker cards! That is a nice one! I love your new Spellbinders... but I can't allow myself to even think about buying another!

[@anaraposo522]

Absolutely beautiful

[@czdesign]

Thank you! 😊

[@lauradimitriadis4371]

Well hopefully the hubs will lay a mwah right back. I love shaker cards but I've only ever made the ones with the pre-made shaker piece.

[@bunnytoes7200]

This one is so joyful Cathy!

[@tiffanihawkins]

Pretty card! Love my new limited edition Platinum 6 too! It's my first Spellbinders die cutting machine. I bought it to have a machine to fold up to travel with and to use with my Spellbinders Glimmer Foil Machine and the color matches my craft room! All my others were Sizzix.

[@DrJBronk]

Great design and shaker card.

[@peggydavis9475]

Love this card!!! You did so… good with it!!! I was amazed with some of the tips you gave us. Especially the “h” . Love it!!!

[@debbieford6862]

Great card - I get buying the new machine just because. I have a silhouette and scan n cut digital die cut machine and yet, part of me thinks I need a cricut

[@LancashireLass]

I was so busy crafting I missed the premiere. Love the idea of using a shadow layer to create the aperture for a shaker!

[@kristen2439]

I love the aqua spellbinder.. I just bought the white one before it came out.. I love the card color the red and gold plus shaker effect

[@joanngirimonte9349]

Beautiful shaker card 🌺

[@stamperssecret5379]

Say, that was a very beautiful card you made. I still have a lot of angst to try those shaker cards again. I watched you do that difficult form and have gained just a little more confidence.

[@candaceestrada5744]

That is cute!!

[@kcinca5410]

Hi Cathy, Try Tim's remnant rub tool to peel off the score tape - the flat end. Works like a charm for me. It may not be pokey but it seems to work every time. I think I saw him use it when he was demoing his Paper Village #1 last year. Of course, still burnish the tape a bit. FYI - foam tape always grabs my sequins EVERYTIME. Crazily, I made shaker cards as my Holiday cards this year. Never, ever again. I'm still working on them and I started long before Halloween! This looks like a great card to Valentine's Day, however, I am not thinking about any holiday except Christmas right now. I was okay with it starting early but I'm still very behind. Happy Holidays to you. I look forward to your next card.

[@corinarazo1404]

Seriously though. Your manicure is fabulous 👌. Everything about this card is crafty perfection. I love how you cascaded your sequins on the this card. As always, thank you for the share. Look forward to your next card sesh 👉

[@czdesign]

Thank you so much!

[@robinmcauley3462]

I love this triple heart set!

[@janehunt6386]

Mwah to you too. How fun.

[@june-babyjane1]

Love the new Spellbinder, gorgeous colour. Adorable shaker card. I do love a shaker card. You must have heard shouting at you to stick with the gold sentiment 😂😂, seriously, I was shouting at you!! 😂😂😂. I also do the hand Slash diningroom along with you at the start of every video. Yep, I’m needing seen to. 🤪🤪🤪. Love you Cathy, you always make me laugh ❤️❤️

[@czdesign]

Thanks so much for watching and shouting along!!!!

[@ThankfulNanaDiane]

Just made basically this card for the hubby! Had to swap a few things for things I already had. It turned out great! 😊❤️

[@czdesign]

Hope he loves it!

[@petmomful2260]

What a cute card! I need to make more shaker cards and get out of my comfort zone sometimes. I really enjoy your fun videos!

[@czdesign]

You should!

[@phyllisfreese8005]

You could also line up your card layers in your MISTI (without the pad) because it’s deeper than your Score Pal.

[@kellieoberstar]

Awesome card. Thank you, Cathy. So excited about the Mis-T square. Was going to buy it the other day, but was kinda waiting to see if anyone else liked it. 💕

[@czdesign]

I love the size for sure!

[@kellieoberstar]

@@czdesign Sold!

[@ThankfulNanaDiane]

This is adorable! I love that this could be done with just about any die that has a shadow. You may have just designed my Valentine’s Day card for my hubby, too! 😂 Thanks so much! 😊❤️

[@czdesign]

Yes! So easy with any die!

[@dianebowen9614]

I like to lift the score tape from the side, not from the edge that is cut to size. There seems to be some overlap of the release paper, so it is easier to catch. Just works for me.

[@Taitcreates639]

Simply adorable, Ia Ways have a hard time with shakers. This video did help. Cathy, your an angel. Tfs

[@kathleenfink207]

Love it

[@tracyinmo6885]

Scrapbook has these super skinny foam tape strips that form super close around shapes. It may work and be less fiddly. I havent made a shaker with it but have used for similar. I need to try it!

[@sandrafergueson8155]

Beautiful card! Merry Christmas ⛄ to you and your Family!!!

[@czdesign]

Happy holidays!

[@Cards4Cancer]

Cathy, some hand sanitizer will remove the stain, just a bit at each swipe, but will remove it. Beautiful cards

[@czdesign]

Ohhh! I will try it!!!

[@user-DonsWoman]

I heard that tip on another vid... she said it works great!! sanitizer for crafters... LoL

[@stamperssecret5379]

There’s my girl!

[@badsworthcats]

I love it but I am unsure about the sides,is there nothing else possible to make it look neater?

[@czdesign]

Yes! There are shaker products from Waffle Flower that give you actual shaped pop up wells that let you keep the card more flat. There are dies and then shaker covers. Check it out: ldli.co/e/zr15dqd

[@dianebowen9614]

Beautiful card! For a very special person!

[@czdesign]

Thank you so much!

[@Madam.H]

Lovely shaker…love anything pink…congratulations on your new platinum…I too have a brush set for each ink collection but I only use Gina K and Tim Holtz..great idea for the foam tape… tfs…blessings dear one 🙏

[@czdesign]

Thank you so much!

[@janbutler6667]

something you could use is the antistatic to the edge of the foam tape BEFORE adding to the front inside to help keep the sequins from sticking to it. Make sure you haven't removed the liner on the tape.

[@dizzinese]

I was just thinking that 3 boops at the top by the smallest heart would’ve balanced better. Maybe? 2 at the bottom. And I mail thick cards all the time. As long as there’s no points like rhinestones or mini clips. Then putting a piece of cardboard or thick cardstock inside to keep it smooth helps. I just add an extra stamp to be sure and off it goes!

[@MsRebekka1]

Great shaker card, love hearing you talk through the process, so funny :).

[@czdesign]

Thanks so much!

I'm not sure if you'll be posting another video this week so while I'm writing to you I'll just say it now, I wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas and a wonderful 2022 ahead.

[@czdesign]

Merry Christmas to you Ginger! I have one more video coming at 11 am central time today!

[@fosmert877]

I was surprised that you added the white backing to the shaker versus putting the shaker right onto your white card base. Do you have any issues with needing extra postage for your cards? Beautiful card even with the extra layer.

[@czdesign]

It would definitely need extra postage. I'm terrible at lining up card bases upside down. So that's why I did it that way. But I'm planning on possibly giving this to the hubby. No postage needed!
