Octopus Shaker Card

I created an Octopus Shaker card with the Sea of Textures stamp set. It’s an under the sea wonderland with glitter and a rainbow! Below I’ll show you how to make one, too!

Shaker cards are fun to make, but I know they can be intimidating. Therefore, I decided to create a video tutorial to make it less daunting! I hope it helps you in making some lighthearted cards for someone.

This month I’m hosting the Joy of Sets Tic Tac Toe Challenge. We are made up of a great group of crafters who create fun challenges every month, and hope you join us! To play, just pick a row across, down, or diagonal and create something fun. Here’s the grid I created to play with this month:

In the grid, I included a lot of my favorite card-making techniques, embellishments, and themes. For this reason, it was easy and difficult at the same time to narrow down my choices. Eventually I chose the column on the left: Glitter, Rainbow, and Aquatic.

This is why I love these tic-tac-toe challenges; Although I created the grid with some of my favorite card-making things, I don’t know if I would have ever made a card like this, with a rainbow and an aquatic wonderland, ha ha! But of course I love it! And I hope you try creating a shaker card with me.

See below for how to create this glittery shaker card. The tutorial also includes other techniques, including emboss resist, die-cutting, and ink blending.

When I’m done making a shaker card, there is a sigh of relief. Knowing how nervous I become before I make one and then seeing my creation shaking, with glitter or sequins or fishies is a good feeling.
