Learn how to jazz up those shaker cards using a fancy decorative floral circle die.
Today’s sparkly card creation comes from our designer, Lisa. Lisa says, “The Decorative Circle die set is one of my very favorites and I thought it would make a great shaker frame.” We really do love how this frame steps up the shaker game and makes your card a bit ‘EXTRA’! Follow along with the steps below to make a decorative circle shaker card of your own!
How to make this card:
- I started with a gel print I created using the 4205 Poppy Bloom 6×6 Stencil and acrylic paints.
- When it was dry, the print was die cut with the 5013D Nested Rectangle Small Stitch Die Set and then foiled.
- The 5012D Nested Circle Small Stitch Die was nested inside the 5600-01D Decorative Floral Circle Die and adhered to and cut together from black cardstock to create a frame.
- I used a larger circle to cut some acetate into a circle. I ran it through the die cutting machine twice. Sometimes it’s hard to cut through acetate however it does make it easy to use scissors to complete the cut.
- Next the acetate circle was adhered to the back side of the frame with liquid adhesive.
- Foam strips were applied to the back of the circle.
- Then sequins were laid out onto the panel and the frame was popped over the sequins.
- The 5610-02D Wishes Word W Shadow Die was cut … the word from black glitter paper and the shadow with pink cardstock, adhered together and popped up onto the frame.
- The Happy Birthday from the 3420 Golf Phrases 4×8 Stamp Set was stamped onto black cardstock using tape to mask the “!” from the sentiment in Versamark and heat embossed with white embossing powder.
- Next the sentiment was cut into a strip and popped up over the Wishes word.
- The flowers from the 5709-02D Spring Flowers Die were cut from foiled gel prints and the flower centers were cut from black glitter paper. They were assembled with some thin foam tape and popped up onto the card.
- Then one of the flourishes from the Decorate Circle die set was cut from the black glitter paper and added under the flowers.
- Finally a few sequins were added to the front and the card was matted with black and pink cardstock.
