My niece just turned 8 and I wanted to kreate a fun, whimsical type card. My Seeing Spots set kreates the whimsy and the fun comes when you shake the card. Little micro beads bouncing off the acetate - you can shake it for hours, its addicting.
* First I stamped my image in VersaMark on Whisper White and sprinkled with Clear Embossing Powder and heated it up for the raised shiny embossed effect. I used my Blender Pen to color it in and highlighted my sprinkles with my 2 way glue pen and Dazzling Diamonds.
* I cut out my rectangle on my Whisper White Card front and then used my Sponge Dauber to dab Rose Red around my frame.
* Decorated my card front with Seeing Spots, in Certainly Celery, Pretty in Pink, Perfect Plum.
* Adhered a piece of window sheet/acetate (or you can use transparency sheets) about 1/8" larger than the frame, to the inside of the card/behind the frame.
* Placed mounting tape all around the frame. Make sure to avoid any gaps or your beads will escape
* Peel off mounting tape layer
* Add your shaker filling (in my case Clear Micro Beads)
* Place your finished image (cut larger than your mounting tape) and adhere to mounting tape.
* Your shaker card is ready to rock n roll :)
Finished my card with 1/4" Rose Red Grosgrain Ribbon and bow. Stamped a few more spots on my envelope flap to kreate the perfect coordinating envelope.

LOVE IT!! I want that one for my bday! lol!! I love the combo of Seeing Spots with the cupcake...I will so be doing that!
I can hardly wait to make a shaker box. Your instructions made it seem so easy to do! Cute card. It makes me think that maybe I need to buy those stamp sets!
Fabulous job on the cupcake. The Seeing Spots set combined for just the whimsical touch you were looking for! Hugs, Mary
Kim- love the designer paper you created for this card. I made a shaker once at a workshop--forgot how cute (and relatively easy) they are! Kids will love them, and they bring out the kid in all of us! Great job all the way around.
You always make me say "wow, I wanna do that!"
I love this shaker card. Very pretty.
