Hello My Friend

Hello all!  Today's card was a bit of a lark for me as it really took me back to my early card making days.  One of the very first cards that I ever learned to make in a class that I took was a shaker card.  I hadn't made one in absolute ages, but had the urge to give it a go when I stumbled upon a bunch of sequins in my stash (not even sure where they came from to be honest!)  I cur an aperture in a piece of coconut white card using the dies from my New York Collection. I did a sort of reverse mat with the black and white card and added a piece of acetate to the back to make the window.  Around the window, I added mounting foam to the back so it sealed up the window and I was able to add my sequins so they would fall through when the card was assembled.  I stamped my sentiment so it would show through the window and one of the "tricks" I  recall from the class I took was to glue a couple of stray pieces of whatever you were using in the shaker card to the back.  This would help other pieces to catch on it when the recipient shook the card and just add a bit of interest.  I assembled the card and added a red frame cut from the Times Square die set.  Below the window, I cut two New York borders and glued them on with a strip of card in the centre.  I added some pearls on a strip to the centre as an accent.  I added a thin red and black mat before finishing with a wider white mat.  The finished dimensions are 7" x  9 1/4" in size.

The winner of this week's Wednesday Card Giveaway is:

Craftynanna!!!

Congratulations!  Please email me at americansue1@gmail.com to confirm your address and claim your card. All for now, Sue x

Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, a blast from the past today but still a very popular type of card, I am sure we all have some sequins or bits in our stash to do this card, I know I have, it is also a lovely way to interact with children and grandchildren.

Congratulations Craftynanna.

Happy Saturday everyone, stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs June Smith xxx

Definitely a blast from the past doing a shaker card. Although I would say that this is a very posh looking one. It is beautiful as usual.
Congratulations to craftynana for winning Wednesday's card.

Good morning Sue
It sure is a blast from the past, I used to struggle at first with my sequins/glitter sticking to the foam strip, until somebody said to swipe some talcum powder along the edge of the foam tape and it worked lol. I love the colour combination and style of your card it's gorgeous. I'm off to look for some sequins or glitter to try to make a shaker card.
Congratulations Craftynanna

crossstitchmarg said...

Hi Sue, a lovely card, I.ve tried making shaker cards but have never put sequins in. I tend to use glitter but in the end it leaks out. Either I am using the wrong sticky foam or it's the glitter the seal never works well. . I might see if I have some sequins and see if it works better
Thanks again for another great card. My pick of the week arrived yesterday and I've already started playing, I attempted the black & gold gilding wax one. But don't have guilding wax so used mica powder. My daughter was impressed so that's a good sign.

Janice K said...

Lovely to see a shaker card, it's been a long time since I have made one. It's great to see how beautifully your dies work with this technique and the colours give the design great impact. Must have a rumidge in my stash for some sequins myself!! X

Anonymous said...

What a fun card, Sue, and a really elegant take on an old style. Guess we've all got bits hidden away which could be used for this.
Well done to craftynanna - she'll love her card.

Ecco of Sheffield said...

Morning Sue
What a different gift from your usual creations but one that would suit the younger end of our families and friends. I love to see faces on children when they see things like this. Apart from the look of glee at the fact that the middle pieces move they always want to know 'how did you get them in there'. I know I have one or two bags of sequins stashed away so I could just try a couple of these wonderful gifts.

I hope you all have a good week-end and that the good weather stays with you. I shall not be with you for the next couple of days as I set off tomorrow morning on my return to the UK. So to all in pain and suffering I hope your days get better. To everyone please take care and stay safe. See you all Tuesday.

Helen Bell said...

Good morning Sue and everyone

Yes definitely a blast from the past, but definitely more refined!
Love the New York borders with the pearl strip too.

I have to say that after a very enjoyable, long girly day out in Leeds with my sister, and then going to pick my hubby up I came home late to find the postman had put a card through to say there was a parcel in the compost bin!

My husband managed to retrieve it for me in the dark (as I'm much too wussy, and I probably couldn't have reached it anyway). Guess what was in it?
My Izzy bag that I won in the draw. It is absolutely beautiful. It is so well made and it really is adorable.

It has pride of place on my mantlepiece at the moment, I can't stop looking at it. The attention to detail us superb. THANK YOU SO MUCH IZZY!

Why on earth the postman put it in the compost bin I've no idea, but luckily no harm came to it. It will be cherished from now on though.

Thanks again

Love Helen xxx

alimecca said...

Hi Sue,
Gosh, it must be years since I made a shaker card! Really like this one done with sequins though. I used to put tiny little beads in mine, but used to find the whole process fiddly as you could always have a part where the shaker bits came out!
Congratulations to crafty nana.
Helen you made me smile with your tale about the parcel - I'm pleased it wasn't damaged.
Love and hugs to all, Alison xx

Unknown said...

Oh, Sue....I remember the shaker cards, too! But mine were nowhere near as sophisticated and classy as yours! It's nice to go back, sometimes, and bring something up to date. Jo xx

hettygarlick said...

Elegant version of a shaker card Sue. The only "shaker" I've ever done was on the table plan for my daughter's wedding. Her theme was butterflies, and I made a shaker window on the plan with table confetti shaped like butterflies inside it. It looked lovely and was much admired. Not very useful for shaking though as the plan was pinned up on an easel!

Unknown said...

GM Sue. I made my first shaker card about a month ago using punched tiny flowers and I did stick on 3 which makes all the difference as you say. Not sure if I really like shaker cards or not though? But I do like the ideal of using sequins and yours I do like!! Happy weekend all.

Unknown said...

Super card Sue suitable for all ages. I know it is naturial to feel a little nervious at introducing your own products, but with your incredible tallent you really do not have anything to worry about. Good luck with future ones, Edwina

Nananne said...

Mrs B said...

Hi Sue. Now we are home and have internet access I can catch up on this weeks beautiful cards. I have to say that Monday and Wednesdays are particular favourites, and todays lovely card is one that I am going to attempt. It will be my first shaker card. Thanks for the tip about sticking a few bits on the background, I like that idea : )
I have got all of your POTD shows to catch up on which will help pass the time while I am ploughing through the large ironing pie. I bet you couldn't believe just how many sample cards you, and the others had made! I am glad to hear that you enjoyed the shows, even if they were very tiring, and that they all went well, I'm also glad to hear that you are feeling less exhausted today : )
Congratulations to Craftynanna, what a wonderful card : )
Sending my daily hugs to everyone. Take care xx

Steph Cotterill said...

Morning Sue. Now this is what you call a posh shaker card, what a dfferent direction for you to take, but its really lovely. Off to get my hair cut this morning, which just happens to be round the corner from my craft shop, so it seems rude not to pop in to see if anything needs touching and possibly adopting (not spent my Easter money from MIL yet) then off to check out a new training class for 4 paws which should be fun to watch and hopefully enrol her for the May entry.
Congrats to Craftynanna on winning the Wednesday W. O. W card, enjoy.
To all our unwell friends, hope tomorrow see's you feeling slightly better.
Have a good Saturdsy everyone.

Hi Sue,
I love, love, love this card - there is a lot of mileage in the old adage 'the best ones are the old ones'. It really is nice to visit old techniques every now and then as we all seem to get swamped and overtaken by the 'new' ones. Love the trick about sticking a few stray pieces in place - haven't come across that before so thank you for sharing.

Hi Sue
Wow, that's a complete change in style for you today.

I love shaker cards as they are different & dimensional & any movement is always so much fun too.

Always nice to rekindle past card styles now & again I think as it shows how our styles & skills have changed over the years.

Love the colour combo,very striking card..

Clever idea to glue some of the "shaky things" to the center so one's bits and pieces can stick to them when the card is shaken. I will have to try this. Thanks.

Sue said...

Always fun to revisit an old technique! Love this color combo and the fun shaker card. And I also like the way the die was used. Congrats to the winner.

Always love the striking look of Red, Black and White. What a fun Shaker Card! Never gets old, always great to see, especially matched up with your lovely style and fab dies.
