How to make a Flower Power Shaker Card.

One of my favorite cards to make is a shaker card.  

I love using dimension and movement.  

Did you know that vinyl is perfect for cardmaking?

For my card, I used StyleTechCraft Green Opal Adhesive Craft Vinyl*.

The Opal Vinyl is a color-shifting vinyl that takes on a different look

depending on how you hold it.

Directions:  

• Cut the “Daisy Background” using Opal Vinyl and the Silhouette Die Cutting Machine.  (I sized the image to a 3 ¼” x 3 ¼” design.)
• Remove the excess vinyl around the design using a Vinyl Weeding Pen*.
• Cut a piece of transfer tape and place it over the vinyl design.  
• Gently rub over the design with the Scraper Tool*.

• I cut a simple cardstock frame using my Silhouette Die-Cutting Machine.  My frame measures 4 ½” x 4 ½”.  The inside cutout measures 3 ½” x 3 ½”, which leaves a ½” border around the frame. 
• Cut a 4 ¼” x 4 ¼” piece of clear acetate. (My acetate has a blue protective coating on both sides.) Place Scor-tape* around the border of the frame. 
• Remove the protective coating from both sides of the acetate.  (If yours has them.)
• Place acetate over the sticky Scor-tape*. 

• Remove the design from the vinyl backing sheet using the transfer paper.
• Place the design onto the acetate on the front of the frame.  

• Cut a piece of cardstock 4 ¼” x 4 ¼”.
• Cut thin strips from the adhesive foam sheet.  
• Adhere the strips to the back of the frame. 
• Add iridescent shaker sprinkles inside the frame.  (Do not overfill with shaker sprinkles.)
• Adhere the 4 ¼” piece of cardstock to the back of the frame to create your shaker element.

• Adhere the shaker to a 5″ x 5″ card.

• Stamp a small greeting onto cardstock.  Notch one end to create a banner.
• Adhere the greeting to the front of the card. 

I hope you enjoyed the Iridescent Opal Shaker card.

It’s a nod to those vintage Flower Power Shirts of the 70s.
