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

[@sarahsmilecards1228]

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

[@judibradshaw1948]

Gorgeousness!!!

[@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 ??

[@mariehansen472]

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

[@czdesign]

right?

[@stamperssecret5379]

I’ll be very quiet tonight. My oldest chi is diabetic and it’s time to make his special meal and his shot. So, don’t think I passed out or fast forwarded you. Lol

[@terrymcgreevy4351]

I would love to come over and craft with you, of course it would involve a plane ride and I don't it would make a good financial choice on my part. Oh well, maybe someday.

[@vyvein]

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

[@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

[@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!

[@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!

[@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!

[@connieeneix3891]

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

[@dizzinese]

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

[@dizzinese]

I have an off red topic. I ink blended with black soot today. I bought it because you used it when you did really black Halloween cards. Mine looks gray!!! Side note: girl you are crazy to buy an extra spellbinder!!!! I’m hating on you so bad right now! Jk. I want that Gemini! So bad! Anyway back to the soot color. My ink is a dark gray not black! I swear yours was black black! I took a couple pics I’ll send you but thought I’d mention It here.

[@czdesign]

Hmmm. It tends to be chalky and dry back a bit lighter, but not gray. Maybe the pad is off? Can you make it look darker?

[@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!

[@stamperssecret5379]

Jax was a good boy when he had to have his shot and he’s a gentleman when it comes to sharing a couple bites with his 2 brothers and sisters. So, it feels as if I’m losing my mojo since I used Catastrophy. I can’t come up with anything more perfect than that. I’ll keep trying, just be patient. Lol

[@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!!! ♥️🎄💚♥️🎄💚♥️🎄💚

[@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!!!

[@janacreek6184]

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

[@sandrafergueson8155]

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

[@czdesign]

Happy holidays!

[@dizzinese]

Love this card! Are these dies new? I particularly like the mwah. I usually do muah. I haven’t seen the other way before. Really nice job Cathy!!!

[@czdesign]

Brand new!

[@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

[@cherij9008]

Hello from very rainy GA

[@catherinestrong4470]

That's a pretty pretty card

[@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!

[@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!!!

[@stamperssecret5379]

There’s my girl!

[@janehunt6386]

Mwah to you too. How fun.

[@sallyhill6565]

Super cute card 😊. Only one question, what does MWAH mean? Guess I’m not up on current slang? 🤣

[@czdesign]

From the urban dictionary: mwah The sound of a quick kiss when voice is also used.Also the sound of lips smacking in a kissing motion... MWAH.. especially expressive over distances of 10+ metres...one of the nicest sounds, very flirty!

[@sallyhill6565]

@@czdesign thanks!

[@nancycatania3150]

Cathy, please try the alcohol inks. I think you will love them and I know you will come up with wonderful ways to use them. PLEASE!!!!!

[@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.

[@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...

[@ritta1517]

😍🤗🤗🥇

[@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.

[@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!

[@barbw8972]

Oh for CUTE! 😍

[@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!

[@Taitcreates639]

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

[@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!

[@candaceestrada5744]

That is cute!!

[@phyllisfreese8005]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@francinebrown9758]

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

[@SugarCardsbyCandi]

Great card, Ill come craft with you. LOL I'll be in your neck of the woods for New Years!

[@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.

[@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

[@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!

[@tracylee4442]

I am laughing because this literally never occurred to me, to match the ink colors to the shaker bits. I’m always trying to match the shaker bits to the ink. This makes much more sense…waaaay easier.

[@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.

[@janicerepass5424]

Adorable!

[@beckykent6674]

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

[@audregaer3281]

Very pretty.

[@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.

[@MartaStroll]

Gorgeous!

[@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 🙏

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!!!!

[@Pebblesmas]

​really lovely card !!! Love it ! Amazing valentines card, minus the MWah hahaha.... well... for my husband the MWAH might even be a nice joke !

[@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.

[@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!

[@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!

[@patticallihan8515]

Cathy, I love your card so much I ordered the die set. It’s gorgeous. I did the same thing with the h letter & did what you did. (You do what you have to do ) merry Christmas hun.❤️

[@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.

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

[@dizzinese]

I just thought I’d let you know that The link to the Elmer’s spray adhesive takes you to SSS but it says oh no…this product isn’t available anymore. I looked it up and it is, just maybe a different link? Thought I’d tell you. I count on these links so I’m sure a lot of others do also. I just window shop though! Lol

[@sherryshumay]

Another sweet card. I never make Valentine cards, not sure why. You are making me want the blue spellbinder die cut machine. Haha

[@czdesign]

It's not a need! hahah. But I do love my new machine!

[@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!

[@sonjah1983]

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

[@sueblair4022]

Does the spray glue adhere well enough? I’ve used Aleena’s and found the item I glued didn’t stay stuck for very long.
