School
is out and graduation parties are in full swing! I can't make enough
graduation cards! Shaker cards are very trendy now and so are sequins.
I decided to use both for my project. Who says a masculine card can't
have sequins!?!?!
I
made this shaker card for a friend's son who just graduated. Masculine
cards are always a challenge, but this came together rather easily.
I used a basic 5 x 5 square as my base, then layered up some of the
"We are Family" patterned papers (designed by Lori Whitlock for Echo
Park). The "We Are Family" collection of patterned papers are so
versatile.
I printed this quote
by Kolette Hall Studio from Lori's Shop right onto my cardstock.
(Hint, if you don't have an 8-1/2 x 11 piece of patterned paper to run
through your printer, tape it to a regular piece of printer paper).
Create
the shaker by sewing a piece of acetate on 3 sides of your card, add
sequins and punchouts, then sew up the last side. I secured with foam
tape and added a simple congratulations banner

For my second project, I made this cute Camera Shaker Card. I had some left over 3D treat cups from awhile back and they fit perfectly in the center "Shaker Part" of this camera. Just enough room for my favorite Peanut M&Ms. :)
