CSCC #11 - 'LOVE SHAKE'r Cards

Hello friends! This is Ruchi here.... Hope you're doing good and today it's my turn to share my inspiration for this month challenge CSCC #11 - 'LOVE SHAKE'r Cards

Keeping in mind the love theme...I used red pattern paper n heart shaped beads. I want to keep it simple too so combined white with red n golden. Sentiment is heat embossed with golden EP. I liked the shake sound of this card very much. :)

CSCC#11 - Love Shakers cards

Dear friends,

I am shylaa here to show you on my take with our current challenge - Love shakers card

Since i love to create everything with quilling, i wanted to try a quilled shakers card.

Steps involved:(was experimenting - hence couldn't take a step by step photo)
  1.  Cut a heart shape cardstock or use a heart shaped diecut. Outlined the heart shape with beehive scrolls between two strips
  2. Then put whatever you like inside the heart to give the shakers effect - I have used glass beads here
  3. Seal the heart with a transparent sheet and then outline the heartshape with quilling strips above the transparent sheet (quite challenging - use fast drying glue). Then attach beehived scrolls to the outlined strip. Allow it dry
  4. Your shaker heart is ready to mount on any card stock and decorate as you wish
  5. It is very simple - you don't need to use any foam - you can use any basic shapes of quilling for this and follow the steps from 1 to 3 as above
Here is quilled shakers card
You you got a idea to create a easy shaker card. Pls join us fun here at CSCC#11 - Love shakers card

Look forward to see your beautiful entries.

CSCC#11 Love SHAKE'r cards

Hello Friends !! Good morning. Happy Valentines Day ... :D
This is Radhika here to share my inspiration for this month's lovely Challenge 'Love shaker cards'. I am so excited to post my 1st DT post. Thank you Deepti :)

I made 2 cards for this month's challenge. Here are the cards..
For the 1st card I used black card stock for the card base and hand cut lattice heart with red card stock filled the heart with white sequence and pearl hearts, used double foam tape for heart, sentiment is from Fiskars kaleidoscope  stamp set.


 Stitched a tiny acetate shaker heart and dangled on card, finished the card by adding a flower..


 2nd card is a simple shaker card! I used a tissue paper for card background and used felt heart for the shaker part. The sentiment is customized stamp, filled the heart with small hearts n rhinestones and I'm done with my cards..


Hope you like them ...
Looking forward for your entries.. :)
Thank you..

SHAKEr Card for My Dad!


Hello and good morning dear friends!! This is Deepti here to share my inspiration project for the current challenge


If you want to know more details about the challenge and the rules and guidelines kindly click HERE..

Well, I made a Birthday Shaker card for my dad! I was thinking like how can I express my love to him?? Then this simple idea came to my mind, 'making a shaker card'.. :D He liked it so much and was surprised to see all the shaker elements and mechanism.. (y)


I took a card base that is a standard sized one and stamped repeatedly with 'Bo Bunny - Happy Birthday' sentiment. Then I took another piece of card stock and adhered the 'Snap card travel themed note card'. Later I adhered 'Lawn Fawn - Alphebet stickers' and spelled the word 'best dad'. I  love that font so much.. ;) I then took another piece of card stock, created a window and adhered an acetate and assembled all things together! Last but not least, I filled the window with the sequins from 'Lawn Fawn', 'Avery Elle' and some local ones.. And that's it!! All done!!

Hope you like this card and I hope you would give it try. Thank you so much for stopping by.. See you!!

CSCC #11 - 'LOVE SHAKE'r Cards

Hi! Nandini here, with my take on the current challenge

"LOVE SHAKEr Cards"

I love shaker cards because they are super fun, with so many possibilities. Both kids and adults love them and they are oh-so trendy right now!

I was so excited that my very first DT post was going to be a shaker card that I ended up making not 1 or 2, but 3 cards! So lets get down to them right away!


I decided to break out my stash of pattern papers which I have been hoarding forever. The stamp set is Bold Wishes from CAS-ual Fridays. I heat embossed it with Mint Green & Red Glitz EPs from Ranger and Wow respectively. The heart and circle dies are from Couture Creations. I mounted the whole thing on a piece of fun foam.

The next card was inspired by a great tutorial on non-bulky shaker cards by the fabulous Jennifer Mcguire. You can check it out here.


I have put together few pics that show the steps in making this card.


All the Couture Creations dies that I used with the die cuts.


Almost there! Notice that I have not used any foam between the acetate layers. This kept my card flat while still retaining the charm of  a shaker card.


The stamp is from A Tree for All Seasons by Winnie & Walter, embossed with Red Glitz EP by Wow!.

For the third card, I went back to my old love, sewing.


Here are the various elements that I put together to make this card.


The pattern paper is a free download that I had printed out ages ago. I stamped the sentiment from the set Wonderful Words by CAS-ual Fridays in Versamark on the vellum. Then heat embossed with Magenta Twinkle and Mint Green by EPs by Wow! and Ranger respectively. I used a zig zag stitch to make a pocket for the sequins and little hearts that I punched out. A small length of pink velvet ribbon and a doily from my stash completed the card.

So what are you waiting for? Grab your supplies and get creating. We, the Catchy Girls, are waiting to see your gorgeous creations! You can enter your cards HERE.
