Oh my gosh - just watched this and what a huge difference it's made in my shaker card production! Both tips are awesome but the foam tape tip IS genius - thanks to you AND Beau!
I recently bought some sheets of plastic. I will try this beautiful card soon. Thanks for always giving me great ideas to try and for teaching me new ways and techniques. Thanks to whoever said to remove the backing on the tape...genius!!! I look forward in following you in 2016.
Gorgeous card - and just love the tip about the foam tape. Thank you to the person who originally passed it on :-) One thing I learned in a cardmaking class a few years ago about heat embossing with acetate was to sprinkle the acetate generously with talcum powder then tap off the excess. You should still see a fine layer of talc on the acetate. Then stamp your image straight over the top & pour on the embossing powder as you would normally do. When you tap off the excess powder, you will have very, very few grains of embossing powder left. I find this works better than an anti-static pad on acetate because over time, the pad picks up the oils from your fingers from using it which transfers to the acetate which then grabs the embossing powder. We were also told in the class to try not to handle the acetate where you would be pouring on the embossing powder as the powder sticks to where the oils from your fingers are. Hope this helps :-)
Beautiful card and I love those sequins...the gold lettering stamp and the new dies and paper. It's all so clean and pure and those sequins really hit me with excitement. thanks for a beautiful clean, elegant and straight forward card.. You don't need anything else and that was a great tip and I remember reading it on your site too. Pat
Until I saw this video I thought you had to use a fuse tool to make a shaker card and I was bummed as I don't want to buy a piece of equipment that ONLY is used for one task! Thank you SO MUCH for the foam tape tip!! This is excellent!
Hello K Werner Designs...Thank you for sharing this tip...as I have been doing it the hard way...thanks to your cleverness...I can now do it the easy way :)
An amazing video !!!!! Thank u sooooo much for these tips!!!!!! Cannot wait to try one myself!!!! 😄😄😄 I love your card videos. U inspire me tons after every card video!!!! Thank u💕
A tip I use a lot is when you know you want to double the thickness of your tape do that before you cut it in half long ways. Then your tape is perfectly cut the same. No laying over on the edges for sequins to get stuck on.
Here's another top from a wonderful youtuber "Olga" . Die cut two pieces of felt from same size as the back of your square and glue it on. That covers your cardstock and leaves circle area open and your sequins dont stick to the felt like the tape. And your whole back is layered evenly and complete. Also felt comes in many colors to match your cardstock.
Such a simple and elegant card! I always enjoy watching your videos, they are very relaxing and always inspire me to be more creative. Thank you for sharing your work with the world. You have a true gift. :)
You can also use a small paint brush to get the extra powder off that you do not want and out of the little crevices where you don't want it to be at as well
BEAUTIFUL Elegant card.Great tips,I've never heard of the release paper idea either but DEFINATELY going to try it.Thank you for SHARING as ALWAYS. BLESSED day.
I just love all your videos. I continue to get great ideas and just love to try your suggestions. You are the best. Love the colors you used for this card.
I'm in the middle of making a shaker card for our great-granddaughter for Valentine's Day. I used this method of putting the foam tape around a smaller heart shape and it worked very well.One thing--I now have the card base made and I have the little bear layer with the heart cut-out in it. It has dawned on me that I can't turn the bear/heart piece over onto the card base because then everything will spill out all over the place! Duhhh!!!I don't know how to get the two pieces together, now, but I'm going to put a mirror down, then try and use the reflection to center the card base onto the bear/heart piece, to hopefully get things lined up. I'm so disappointed in my lack of ability to think things through better, but still, I don't know how I might have put the two pieces together right. I'm sooo backward with things like this.If I can get things to work, it will be a really cute piece. If not, it will be a mess and so will I. :(
Hi there I thought I would give you a tip even though I'm not an expert but I've been told in the past a very useful thing to use to remove any fluff dust from the acetate is a dryer sheet or dust bag. Hope this helps. Anita
Awesome thank you! I am relatively new to card making and your videos are giving me lots of inspiration as well as teaching me new techniques! Thank you x
Neat idea. One comment and one suggestion. The comment is that I love that you used a dark background. All the other shaker cards I have seen have white or light backgrounds - probably to try to make the sprinkles show up better - but ironically they showed up much better against the dark background you used. My future shaker cards are going to have darker backgrounds. Suggestion: before you pull off the adhesive, maybe you could figure out which side will be the inside and go ahead and powder that side. That way you wouldn't get it on the acetate and you wouldn't have to be as careful so you didn't get it on the top adhesive part since it would still be covered by the backing. Just a thought. Thanks for your great videos.
Another tip for round shaker windows is to cut the foam tape to within a quarter inch of cutting all the way through, so it kind of fans out as you apply the uncut edge toward the inside of the circle, then it will go around the window even with the release paper on. Keeps it nice and sticky that way, too!
This card looks amazing! Thanks for sharing the tips that was shared with you on the techniques of this card! It makes the process look so much easier ! I am looking forward to trying a shaker card!
love those tips. in the written instructions, you mention to use water and wipe off the acetate but you did not mention it in your video. Here is the written text: When creating the window for the shaker, add water to the acetate (and then dry it off) to eliminate some of the static cling that causes embossing powder to stick everywhere. oh well. it would be great to mention maybe in another video. thank you from ottawa ontario in canada -
Wow isn't it amazing how these tiny tips make such a BIG impact? Thanks to the original Tipsters and thanks Kristina for passing them on.
Great tip on the acetate and foam tape. It looks beautiful! Thank you for sharing. God bless
Lovely card, love the stamp and sequins.

The foam tip bending tip is utter genius!!!

This card is so beautiful. Your tutorial is excellent. Thanks for sharing.
K you can use the embossing buddy from Stampin' Up or a microfiber cloth to keep embossing powder from sticking in places you don't want it too.
This was absolutely fantastic and I love the foam tape idea too! TFS this project. It's one I'm definitely going to try this afternoon.
Love it never thought of that color combinations
