Hey there Kat Scrappiness Friends, Today the design team has quite a few fun projects that we are sharing with you. There are NEW Shaker Kits in the store, and we are so excited to have been able to play with them. They are so easy to put together and you will want to play with them too.
HOWEVER… before we get to that, I need to tell you first about another new product we have in the store… We have been working on these for sometime now, and are finally able to release the SLIMLINE DIE POCKETS… both WITH or WITHOUT Magnetic Inserts… these wit all our Slimline Dies perfectly, and have a tabbed fold-over enclosure so your dies won’t slip out.
Hi everyone! Did you know that Kat Scrappiness has shaker kits? I created my card for today using the Merry Christmas Snow Globe shaker kit. The kits come with everything you need to create fun and fast shaker kits.
I used foil to cover the top portion of the shaker. I then adhered the clear acetate and foam adhesive (included in the kit) to the the back of my front panel. I added sequins from these mixes – Red Christmas, Jolly St. Nick, and 4mm Gold Hearts. For the back piece of the shaker, I added gold glitter paper from my stash. I die cut a piece of red glitter paper using the Stitched Scalloped Rectangle dies and layered it onto the same gold glitter paper. I added this panel to a white card base and adhered my shaker to the card.
Be sure to check out all the shaker kits available in the Kat Scrappiness shop.

Thought I would make a quick card today. So I naturally turned to one of the Kat Scrappiness shaker kits. These kits are so much fun to create with and she has so many designs to choose. There is certainly one that would fit whatever occasion for which you are creating.
I started by painting the boarders of the shaker image. Next I filled the shaker with several different colors of Kat Scrappiness sprinkles. Once this was completed all I had left was to create the background.
I die cut circles in various sizes and colors. I arranged them onto a card base. I added a thin frame to add a layering look.
I added paint splatter to the card background. Then I attached the shaker, a bow and a sentiment to complete this simple and easy card.

June Card Challenge Inspiration
Hi Crafty Friends,
Are you ready for another fabulous challenge at Kat Scrappiness? Since we celebrated Moms last month, let’s celebrate Dads and men this month. The theme is “All About the Boys”. My inspiration for you is this cool dude from the NEW Summer Gnomes stamp set!
Make Crafty Friends Q & A:
Q: Have you ever surfed before? Can you do it well?
A: Me? I have never tried! I don’t like the ocean.
Here is a look at the Shaker Kit, Sprinkles and Jewels on my card:
This card was a lot of fun to make and super easy!
I’ll walk you through the steps involved in putting it together.
———————————————————————————–
I started with a kraft card base and I decided to make a smaller card than usual so that the shaker would be the main focus on the card. My card measures 3 1/2″ x 10″ and is scored at the 5″ mark so my completed card is 3 1/2″ x 5″.
Step 1 – Adhere shaker foam base (included in kit) to front of card using
Step 2 – NOW COMES THE FUN PART! Add your shaker bits into the well created by the foam. You can choose whatever you want and lucky for you Kat has a TON of sprinkles, sequins, confetti and other fun bits to make your shaker card SHAKE! I chose the Party Confetti Sprinkles and Sparkling Clear Jewels for my card. Make sure you don’t add too much so you’ll be able to shake those bits!
Step 3 – Prepare die cut top frame. I traced the die cut star frame in the kit on to patterned paper and cut it out. I used a piece of patterned paper from the Honey Bee Over the Rainbow paper pack. If you don’t want to fussy cut your shape you could paint the frame or use markers on it or even do some heat embossing like I did on this card → Diamond Shaker Card.
Step 4 – Once your frame looks the way you want it to you can glue the acetate sheet included in the kit to the back of the frame. Now glue your frame to your foam base. I used Nuvo Deluxe adhesive and it worked perfectly.
That’s it! 4 EASY steps to a super cute shaker card!
You can decorate the rest of the card however you want but the shaker portion is quick and easy. I used the Lawn Fawn Lucky Stars stamp set and heat embossed the sentiment on to black paper using a VersaMark Clear Embossing Pad and some Ranger Super Fine White embossing powder. Since I was using white embossing powder on black paper I made sure to prep my paper with the Inkadinkado Embossing Magic Pad first so I would only have powder melting on my stamped words. I also did some extra accents on my card using a White Gelly Roll Pen size 10. I also die cut 2 small stars from the Lawn Fawn Puffy Star Stackables out of black paper and made white dash lines with my Gelly Roll pen to decorate the large star.
