Skull Shaker Card

I love a good shaker card, but what I love even MORE is an EASY shaker card and this one delivers on both!

To make this EASY shaker card you will need one of our clear envelopes found in the Annual Catalogue. They are self sealing but I do add some tape to the back as you will need to fold over the edges a bit. The clear envelope is designed to fit a regular card so you can see how it is folded a bit smaller. Some tape on the back works perfectly when you get to that step!

The base of this card is Highland Heather and has Basic Black layer that is 4 x 5 1/4.

The ‘shaker’ layer is Grey Granite. I stamped the skull faces from the Cute Halloween set along with some little spiders.

The stamp set has two different faces that you can stamp for the skull as well. I stamped them randomly in the background in the matching ink color along with some spiders. Once you have this piece stamped you are going to slip it into the clear envelope. Set it aside for now as you will need to make your filler!

You can really use whatever you like for a shaker card. For this one here I used some skulls that were stamped on Basic White and hand trimmed. I stamped a few Candy Corn as well (from the Cute Halloween Set) and added some Subtle Shimmer Sequins. Once you have added all of this to the clear envelope you will want to seal it up. Make sure you leave a little air so that things can shake around. If its too tight of a seal things won’t really move around freely.

Every card needs a sentiment so I added ‘Hey, Boo!’ from the Cute Halloween set. I stamped a few Candy Corns in Pumpkin Pie ink on the same color of card stock and then used the Layering Circle Dies to cut it out along with a scallop circle in Highland Heather.

I layered a bit of the Black & White Gingham in between the layers too—since its such a fun ribbon! See wasn’t this easy to create? I really love this simple style of shaker cards!
