The original magical rain shaker card tutorial

[@karens5618]

Wow! I saw a card on a blog today, the lady said search for Magic Rain Shaker Card, yours was the first to come up - perfect! A wonderfully explained tutorial, so easy to follow. I have never seen this kind of card before, so inspiring. Thank you.

[@Laura_Dovalo]

Thank you very much! It was nice of her to mention my tutorial since I came up with this type of card many months ago. 😁 My Favorite Things recently made a die set called "Falling from the Clouds" which makes it so much easier to create a magical rain shaker card. 🙂

[@s_rofbear]

Laura, this tutorial was PERFECT! Thank you for doing a demonstration with the black thread, so that we could see what you were doing! It made it super clear. I’m so excited to try making a card like this!

[@Laura_Dovalo]

Yay, you're so welcome! 😄

[@donnamikasa]

Great tutorial. Thank you for taking the time and effort to do the technique in color. Your card is fabulous!

[@Laura_Dovalo]

Thank you so much, Michelle! 😊

[@nanagriffin2887]

Wow, I love it! Very good directions and the dark thread was perfect for showing us the process.

[@Laura_Dovalo]

Thanks, Nana! I actually helped to design a die set for the company My Favorite Things which makes it easier to create this type of card: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b5bbaaiArdOVa6s. Unfortunately they no longer sell it. 😁

[@kelliesundstrom4306]

[@Mom2Cleo53]

You are so creative and talented, Laura. I can’t believe I missed this tutorial in my feed when you first posted it! Can’t wait to try something like this for my Christmas cards! TFS 💕

[@Laura_Dovalo]

Thank you so much! I think besides subscribing, which you've already done (thanks! 😄) you need to click on the bell so that you get notifications to your feed. 😘

[@Mom2Cleo53]

That was the first thing I checked. That bell is clanging! I think I might need to cancel notifications for other You Tubers that I’m not as interested in so my feed doesn’t get too bogged down and I inadvertently miss you...or check it more frequently. We can all use more Social Media time, right? 😉

[@Laura_Dovalo]

That's so sweet of you! ☺️

[@AndreMmmm]

This is utterly amazing! You certainly deserve the title of innovation master.

[@Laura_Dovalo]

[@janeshine9963]

I love all your cards. Do you have any thoughts on mailing this card, so that all the beads stay at the top during mailing?

[@Laura_Dovalo]

Ooops, I totally missed this comment. Thank you very much, Jane. I probably wouldn't mail this kind of card, but if you do, you could maybe write " Tip the envelope to the left (or however you place it) before opening". And even though the beads would be visible when opened, it's still a fun shaker card to play with. ;)

[@GreenthumbsGarden]

amazing!

[@Laura_Dovalo]

Thank you so much! 😊

[@Laura_Dovalo]

Thank you so much! ☺️

[@MartinaToppiblog]

the card is absolutely fantastic, but I was going to create it and Looking at the meadsures I think they are totally incorrect. Take the blue panel for example. It could not be 7cm shorter than the card base. Looking at your video I see it could be about 1cm shorter. Then I have cutted the strip to make the clouds and 3cm is much shorter than the cloud that I see in your tutorial (or maybe when you write at its most narrow spot you mean not the narrow spot of the clouds - taht should be about 5cm - but the lateral height?). Could you please check the measures? Might you have made some errors? Thank you!

[@Laura_Dovalo]

Hi Martina! Thank you very much. 🙂 I've checked theeasurements several times and they should be correct. Keep in mind that when measurements are given, the first number is the width and the second number is the height. The blue panel is 10,5cm wide and the height is 16cm (1cm less than the height of the cardbase). The cloud panel is 10,7cm wide and the height (at it's most narrow point is 3cm). The ground panel is also 10,7cm wide and 3,6cm tall. You just have to make sure that it's tall enough to hide the beads... I'm sorry about the lost paper... maybe I should add the words width and height to avoid misunderstandings... 😁

[@MartinaToppiblog]

p.s. I got it!!! The size of the base panel is 2x 11,4 = 22,8..It is the widt of the panel before you fold it!!!

[@Laura_Dovalo]

Exactly! 😅 I will try to explain these things better next time and not take them for granted. 😬😘

[@MartinaToppiblog]

@@Laura_Dovalo thank you!!! 😍

[@rdecook651]

I found it easier to tie a knot in one end, thread the beads, then tie off the other end to keep them from all falling off. I made sure the thread was longer than needed.

[@Laura_Dovalo]

Sounds good, thanks for sharing! 👍😁😘

[@elodieschmitt6383]

je suis admirative et te remercie vivement quel talent! bravo

[@Laura_Dovalo]

Merci beacoup, tu es très gentil Elodie. 😁😘
