Rainy day shakers

 Rainy day shakers

stamps/dies used:  Catherine Pooler stamps/die set

I have been making shakers for years but the fairly new way to make shakers is with vellum.  Here I have two cards make with vellum and one a more traditional using foam mounting tape.  I also went out of my comfort zone by making a 5" x 7" and 4 1/4" x 6 1/2" size cards.  The reason being is because it was the way the vellum pieces I had sized out.  No problem, though, because I can make my own envelopes with my envelope maker to fit them.

basic vellum card instructions:

1.  lightly score the vellum on all four sides approximately 1/4". when done this will form pocket.

2.  tape three sides down to a white card but leave one open in order to fill with sequence and small no hole beads.

3. once filled adhere to folded card.

basic foam mounting tape card instructions:

1.  do all your stamping and die cutting first.

2.  with foam mounting tape create a well or pocket and fill with sequence and no hole beads.

3.  once filled adhere to another piece of cardstock or folded card itself.
