Unforgettable - Fuse Tool Shaker Card

[@PhilomenaCarolan-i9u]

Caly, I LOVE your work, our late mum loved Elephants

[@caly.person]

This video is so old, but thank you for watching! I'm so glad you like it! I hope it is a good reminder of your mum! ❤

[@junem4102]

What a cute card! And a simpler way of doing a shaker card! I want one of those fuse tools.

[@caly.person]

Thanks, June!

[@virginia6549]

So cute and such a great technique! This is actually the first time i've heard of using a fuse tool for something like this - I think I've been living a sheltered life; but you have definitely opened my eyes. I think I'll just have to go shopping for one now!

[@caly.person]

+Virginia Polson That was my first time using it! But i think it will be a great tool to use to fix torn stamp pockets, etc!

[@melaniehenderson996]

This card is so cute, with the little elephant being lifted by the huge balloon shaker. You did a fine job and no doubt he is up in the sky. I have this stamp set and am looking forward to trying it out. Enjoyable video. Thank you.

[@caly.person]

I'm glad you think so Melanie! It's hit or miss on some of these videos and I get afraid to look at the comments! Lol.

[@zarahp2098]

SO cute! I love that the shaker is visible from the inside as well. :)

[@lorispitzer8289]

Hi, Caly - I have never heard of a fuse tool. I must have been living under a rock. I guess I even missed J Mac's post on this topic, since you state that she did a video using same. Well, anyhoo... your card turned out great. TFS!! Lori S in PA

[@karenthomas5886]

Beautiful card and lovely stamp set 👌

[@susanknauber2245]

Love this video. I like your honesty about cleaning up and losing something in your room!

[@covid-19inthistogether96]

WOW! Super cute card and thanks for the tutorial! What a huge cost savings not having to buy those foam sheets. The ones from Paper Trey Ink don't hold their stick for a long time, neither does the 3M foam tape. This definitely seems like the best way to go for making shaker cards. Thanks so much!

[@triciasutton7322]

Don't be so modest. You're great! Thank you for your response and help. I'm going to start with your blog and I'll yell back at you. Congrats on your little one. :)

[@beaudeleon2532]

Caly Person So adorable! And thanks for the warning about the stand because it's nice to know that when I get mine, I don't set my house on fire lol.

[@caly.person]

Beau DeLeon someone recommended putting some fun foam underneath it for more friction...i'm going to have to try that!

[@beaudeleon2532]

Craftin Caly that does sound like a great solution. Let me know if you end up having to attach it it if just seeing it on the foam works for you. I would think attaching it would work better but until you try it who knows right! lol. Again thanks for sharing :-)

[@Yopchagee]

This is so clever and adorable! Thanks for a great, clear tutorial!

[@lilcav4583]

Love your shaker card. your make it look so easy.

[@inezmontemayor5001]

So cute! I really like this way of making shaker cards! Tfs!

[@csavacchio]

Awesome card! Can't wait to try my fuse tool that I have had for a year now....you have totally inspired this new subscriber thank you!

[@susanknauber2245]

I got the stamp set and dies for Christmas from SSS. Love it!

[@SaraLyra]

absolutamente lindo; projeto adorável e habilmente executado. Grata por compartilhar.

[@sherrysawyer1255]

Love it! That is so cute! I just bought the fuse tool yesterday. Can't wait to use it! TFS!

[@heidip551]

got my fuse tool this weekend, can't wait to try this!!!

[@deborasilva6306]

Só hoje conheci o teu canal...estás de parabéns...Beijinhos!

[@caly.person]

Thank you, Debora!

[@createinspain]

I don't have this one but have just got a Pyrographic tool. The base on that was really not brilliant either. My solution was to put a piece of non slip shelf liner in the base, works great. I expect fun foam would do the same.

[@caly.person]

Terrific idea, thanks!

[@karenmorison6365]

Great card and video. I'm a new subscriber and look forward to seeing more of your cards and ideas. Thank you for sharing your work.

[@irenelindsayjewerlycrafts2251]

Beautiful card and great work !!! 😊🌹🌻🎨📎✂️

[@xiomaragutierrezramirez3275]

Hermoso. Enamorada de este proyecto.

[@scrimpy78]

I just got a fuse tool so I had to watch this again. I miss your videos so much! I hope things are going well with you & your new baby girl :-)

[@calyperson21]

You are so sweet, Amanda! I'm wrapping up my term with SCS and will hopefully start making videos again soon. Just can't find the time anymore with work and a new baby while doing that (6 cards a month). Making a video takes hours but I really miss doing it too! It's nice to know that you miss it!

[@StampARueCreations]

Love it!!! I put my fuse tool in a ceramic mug when I'm using it. I'm so afraid of it falling and burning my leg or something.

[@caly.person]

Pooh! What a great idea!

[@1ntmd8r3]

+Michelle Ruelle That is a fantastic idea!!! TY!

[@zone7470]

Great

[@caly.person]

Hi Dariia! The tools I used are all linked in the description area. Let me know if there is something you can't find!

[@CreativeDesignbyJessica]

That is one cute stamp & die set. TFS. Be Blessed

[@triciasutton7322]

I know this is an older video but wonderful !! I'm knew and learning everyday. Just a newbie still so I have lots of questions. I just bought a Big Shot a few days ago and I'm wondering on the balloon die cut.... did you use to sizes of the balloon to have the dimensional look? Also I am still teaching myself sizes of cards and such for me to cut on a trimmer. What are the measurements to the cardstock pieces and what is the measurement for scoring. I know these are terrible questions and show how much I have to learn. Oh your coloring. I have a long way to go before I attempt that. You are so good. You make it look so easy. Not necessarily asking for a brand name but what type of marker is safe for cards and scrapping? As far as glue you used can I use Scotch Quick Drying tacky glue? I don't believe that's what I was trying to buy. I was trying to buy what said adhesive glue not tacky glue but that's what came up on my search on Amazon. I guess I'm asking will my glue ripple the cardstock? This card is just wonderful. You did it so fast. Even if I knew what I was doing it would take me more like an hour lol. I know this is A LOT of questions. So sorry but I'm so impressed with you !!

[@caly.person]

Tricia Sutton Tricia! You are so kind. I'm far from good and haven't made a video in a long time bc of my new baby. I'm happy to answer all of your questions and can send you pictures of all the tools I use to help you! I have been in your shoes and self taught myself with videos so it's a lot to learn and can be very overwhelming and expensive. First-check out my blog. There is a section of my favorite supplies at the top (with pictures and links) Craftincaly.Wordpress.Com then-email me with any additional questions and I will promise to answer them all!

[@sharilindsay7242]

Adorable Elephant card!

[@heartfeltgreetingco]

This is so cute and now I have yet another thing on my must have list!!!!! Love that fuse tool. I've seen other crafters use it, but you have made me have to have it LOL ! Thanks a lot ;)

[@caly.person]

That's a first for me! Thanks for your kind words!

[@heartfeltgreetingco]

My pleaseure, thank you!

[@newpsidy]

That card is adorable!

[@ericasutter-neil7984]

I love this card! thanks so much for sharing!

[@rollonmom]

Great job on your shaker card. I thought that you should have outline the party hat with your black marker.

[@laylaa027]

Love this!! Thank you for sharing🙂 I only had one question, for the white card within balloon cutout, how did you do the embossing? You didn't show that part😬

[@caly.person]

laylaa027 I didn’t emboss on this card that I can tell (I made it so long ago). Sorry if I’m not answering your question! Thanks so much for leaving a comment!

[@laylaa027]

Oh, looks like you did🙈 how did you get the balloon outline on your paper?

[@laylaa027]

Nevermind, loll just rewatched your video🤭🙂🙈 Thank you for sharing💕❤️

[@caly.person]

laylaa027 oooh. That is a natural border from the die-cutting. It wasn’t intentional. ☺️

[@cathybarrett369]

Lovely card Caly - thank you x

[@TheClover2claire]

Ahhh-dorable! I can't wait to try something similar with my new Fuse. Thanks for sharing. ;)

[@juliac8175]

Very cute! Does it shake enough?

[@caly.person]

It doesn’t shake as freely but it shakes enough in my opinion! 😊

[@ireneherrera-shan7272]

Love your card. Thanks for sharing!

[@dixiemetheny4706]

Hello I have a question about your shaker cards. Were did you buy your clear cover for the cards, All I could see your bag say was My favorite thing Replenishment. Just love all your cards you do fantastic would.

[@caly.person]

Hi Dixie! Thanks for watching! Do you mean the clear cover for my stamps? I use clear pocket stamp storage sleeves. I use either Simon Says Stamp or My Favorite things brands. They are similar in size and quality. I just get whatever is a better deal at the time. I can send you direct links if you need. Let me know!

[@triciasutton7322]

Hello 😁 Just wanted to update you and let you know that in addition to my Big Shot and A LOT of $$ on other things I don't know what to do with LOL I bought the FUSE and for about 6 dollars as an add on item thru Amazon the decorative tips to use with it. The FUSE was much more affordable than I thought it was going to be. I have a couple more questions... Im learning card making, I've worked on scrapbooks off and on for as long as I can remember, journals BUT I am drawn to shaker cards like a moth to a flame! My 1st question is I see WRMK sell their own plastic coated paper to fuse with. My question is... If I were to want to seal my (plastic) containing my shaker contents to regular card stock and not their paper would that possibly work since we're melting plastic here lol. I guess even if it worked it wouldn't be a very strong hold. 2nd and most important question to me is this... What sizes of sequins and beads & such are best for shakers? I've found a place to get what I want very cheap but I want to make sure they aren't going g to be too big and tacky. 3 and 4mm sequins and 2mm beads just as an example? Thank you!!

[@caly.person]

Tricia Sutton hey Tricia! Fusing plastic to paper would not work or hold. You would want to glue it. I like the Ranger multi medium matte adhesive. Fusing works best melding two plastics together. As far as Sequins go-the most common size is 6mm. But variety of size is nice. I also have 4mm and some 8mm. Nothing larger.

[@triciasutton7322]

Yeah, once I typed that question about the plastic and cardstock I pretty much answered my question but just kept on trucking on that comment lol.

[@keishleyvargas7179]

What is that clear thing your using to grab the stamps? Where did you get it I been looking for one like that!! (Love your card!)

[@caly.person]

keishley Vargas Hey Keishley! Do you mean the clear acrylic block? The one I used in the video is by Stampin’ Up! but you can buy them at your local craft store as well. I love the ones from Recollections at Michaels bc they have rounded grips on them and grid lines.

[@elizavetash4773]

wow!! absolutely gorgeous😻😻

[@anixa00ify]

This Card is so Beautiful Thx u for sharing

[@1ntmd8r3]

Super cute card!! Thanks for sharing! =)

[@caly.person]

Thanks!!

[@emmamoya6648]

I love this craft!😋🤩

[@gluegunroses520]

The one item I wanted to know about is not listed. The glue. What type of glue do you use and where can I purchase it. Thank you. TFS.

[@caly.person]

GlueGunNRoses it's multi medium matte glue. You can get it at a local craft store. It's the ranger brand.

[@marianne030]

love this!!! It's so cute…great job!

Thank you!

[@erinhansen4282]

heloo!! I loved the elephant stamp...Mind told me the brand? I´m going to USA and I´d like to by... Such a beautiful work!!! Congrats!!!!

[@caly.person]

It is WPlus9. If you click on the descriptions, I have 3 links you can use to buy. 😊

[@claudiaoliveira2537]

I just saw! Oh my God!!! I go to bankruptcy!!!! I´m in love with that stamps!!! Thank You!!

[@caly.person]

+Claudia Oliveira it's easy to do!!! 😂😂😂

[@irenelindsayjewerlycrafts2251]

So awesome your really good!!! Love it 😊

[@caly.person]

Irene Lindsay thanks so much, Irene!

[@BertieSulik]

Very pretty. I have tried find the replenishments & can't. Please help me

[@caly.person]

Bertie Sulik hi Bertie! Are you referring to the sequins? They are Pretty Pink Posh brand. You can buy directly from Pretty Posh or you can buy from one of the following online stores: Simon Says Stamp, Ellen Hutson, and My Favorite Things. Those are the only places I know that stock them. If you have any other questions, let me know!

[@BertieSulik]

Craftin Caly no wat u put the sequins in.

[@caly.person]

Bertie Sulik my apologies for not understanding the original question! Stamp and die pouches. You just cut them to the size you need. Because they’re a thin, flexible plastic, they fuse well together and hold the sequins nicely with some give. Acetate would be too stiff to use with a fuse tool to hold sequins. Have fun!

[@BertieSulik]

Craftin Caly it's ok. Tnx but so stampers use the raised 1s where u don't need the asitote.

[@caly.person]

Bertie Sulik you can certainly achieve the raised look with foam tape on the entire top panel-or My Favorite Things sells raised window shaker frames in several shapes.

[@shadyamohamed5744]

Hi there, I may be missing it but did you list the adhesive you used for gluing the sequence balloon to the top layer? I tried to search for it with no luck, could you pls tell me what it's called and where you got it? Mahalo :)

[@caly.person]

Hi Shadya-I used Multi Medium Matte Glue by Ranger. If you have Tombow Liquid adhesive, that will work too but make sure you clean any excess off the clear window portion so it doesn't dry tacky. MMM glue dries matte and is not tacky.

[@shadyamohamed5744]

Excellent thanks so much! :)

[@dixiemetheny4706]

Thank you so very much you have been so helpful.

[@caly.person]

You're very welcome!

[@omg3320]

how did u make that border around the the baloon?

[@martharodriguez4864]

Very sweet card!!

[@champton03]

What mat do you use when using your fuse tool. My mat got cut marks when I use mine.

[@caly.person]

Hi Carol, I'm using a We Are Memory Keepers glass cutting board in the video. You'll want to use a few layers of cardstock to cut on if you don't have a glass surface to work on to prevent damage to any of your working surfaces because of the heat. Sorry it damaged your craft mat!

[@monad1580]

does the fuse tool work if I were to place glitter in the pocket? will the glitter fall out?

[@caly.person]

I'm so sorry I didn't see this comment sooner, Mona!!! I think the glitter will hold just fine!

[@kassiruth6803]

Btw Hobby Lobby sales the Project Life Fuse tool. Exact same thing and you can use a 40% Coupon 😀

[@caly.person]

This is great news, Kassi! Thanks for sharing that. I swear I looked at every store for months before I finally purchased this tool! But I love that you found it @ hobby lobby!

[@maryleblanc6230]

SOO STINKIN CUTE!! TFS

[@carmenreginadepaula7407]

Wow!!! So Cute!!!

[@charleneluedtke5751]

So, SO CUTE!

[@lesliedavis2497]

Do you think this technique would work with a WR Memory heat foil tool?

[@caly.person]

I bet it would if you make sure the seal is good all the way around. I know the foil tool is battery operated so I'm not sure it gets hot enough to fuse through plastic. Give it a try!

[@dollar963]

So cute! You really are talented :-)

[@calyperson21]

You're so kind, thank you!

[@heartgirl1980]

so im looking all over for the stamp set and its out of stock.. does anyone have any idea where i can find this elephant?

[@lizzettefernandez3709]

Me encanta!!! Love it!!!

[@kathlenemiller1195]

I can't afford to keep buying all of these great tools, so i got out my imaginisce iRock setter and it works perfectly.

[@caly.person]

I hear you, Kathlene! sounds very cool that you found something else that works. I have never heard of it before!

[@kathlenemiller1195]

Craftin Caly Like with most crafting supplies, they come out for a few years, then they sort of disappear. This is a small hand held pink tool with a flat head, runs on 3 AA batteries and heats to melt the glue on those metallic small round dots, or the half pearls.

[@Debbiebea56]

wow to cute. great job

[@angelascott2475]

Gorgeous!! Lovely tutorial tfs : - )

[@heidim6468]

Hi Could you let us know the card size you used for this top fold? than you.....

[@caly.person]

Heidi M hi Heidi! I make cards that are 4.25" x 5.5". So the card base is 4.25" x 11"

[@patriciamora5689]

Where did you get the elephant stamp set.

[@caly.person]

Mike Donalds it’s an older WPlus9 stamp set

[@emmanuellebianchin]

So so cute .... ❤️ it !

[@ashleym4233]

What did you use to cut the balloon out?

[@caly.person]

Hi Ashley, I used a balloon die. You can use whatever die you have. The one I used is listed in the supplies list under the video descriptions. Please let me know if you can't find it.

[@muackisaid9123]

Can you put liquid inside the shaker?

[@caly.person]

I've seen people use gels (hand sanitizer). If you can seal it without leakage, I don't see why not!

[@ayalaazul]

Beautiful!!!

Hi, Caly ! How did you cut the circle ?

[@caly.person]

it's a die...or if you have an electric cutting machine like a silhouette, circut or brother scan n' cut - you can do it too :)
