I’m mixing up a little Halloween fun in the cauldron with this cute little shaker card.

The shaker card uses the “Witch, please” stamp and die set from the Maker’s Movement.

How to Make a Toil and Trouble Halloween Shaker Card….

There are several different ways to make a shaker card. (This is how I decided to make this one.)

Directions:

Cut a piece of double-sided adhesive craft foam approx. 3-1/4″ x 4-3/4″.
Using the caldron outline die, die-cut the caldron shape into the craft foam.
Cut a piece of scrapbook paper approx. 4″ x 5-1/2″. Die-cut the cauldron shape into the scrapbook paper.
Cut a small piece of acetate to cover the opening of the caldron.
Remove protective coating off the acetate.
Remove the protective liner off the double-sided adhesive craft foam.
Stick the acetate over the opening.

Line up and stick the cauldron opening of the scrapbook paper over the cauldron opening of the craft foam and acetate.
Trim the excess paper using a cutting mat and craft knife.

Turn the craft foam over and fill the cauldron with Spooky Shaker Sprinkles. Make sure not to overfill, you want to leave enough room for the sprinkles to shake.
Cut a second piece of acetate to cover the cauldron opening.
Pull back the protective liner on the craft foam and place the acetate over the opening.

This is a little pro tip…I used a black calligraphy paint pen marker to color the sides of my craft foam. The white core would have just made the foam stand out and not in a good way. I like to use a black marker to cover the edges of my darker colored paper that would have a white or light core.

When using small or thin die-cut shapes, I like to run the paper through the Xyron Create-A-Sticker Maker* before cutting out the shapes. (It makes it so much easier to apply.)
Cut a cauldron outline from glossy copper card-stock and stick onto the acetate.
Cut the boiling pot shapes out of light green card-stock and stick on the top of the cauldron.

- Die-cut small bubbles from the die set and mount using thin black adhesive 3D foam squares* over the various circles of the scrapbook paper.
- Stamp words in black ink onto a small piece of aged parchment card-stock. Mount onto the front of the card using thin black foam squares.
- Remove the protective liner from the back of the craft foam and stick onto a glossy card-stock layer.
- Add the additional layers onto a black card.
