What, A whale shaker? Yep, come along and create this two-dimensional whale shaker card with me with Advent Calendar Days 22 & 24.
This card is super fun to make. And, it goes together pretty quickly. I especially love that you create extra dimension by having one of the whales inside the shaker. And, then the other one is attached on top. As a result, the bubbles (sequins and rhinestones) come in front of the one on the inside to make it look a little farther away or deeper.
Steps To Create The Whale Shaker
- Die-cut as follows
- 2x Whale body and fin – Graphite
- 2x While underside – Fog
- 2x Bubbles Cosmic Sky and Graphite(2 of each)
- Assemble the whales using liquid glue
- Trim a piece of Raindrop to 3″ x 6″
- Decide on where you will place your whales and sentiment will be and take a snapshot
- Heat emboss sentiment (I used Advent Calendar Day 13) on the card panel with silver embossing powder
- Attach one of the whales and some of the “splashes” to the card panel with liquid glue
- Fasten double-sided adhesive tape to the inside of all four sides of an acetate mini-slimline shaker pocket
- Wrap the shaker pocket around the card panel and attach three of the sides.
- Pour a few of the sequins from Day 22 of Spellbinders Crafty Advent Calendar and a few of the tiny Gems into the pocket and fasten the fourth tab.
- Attach the second whale and more splashes and bubbles to the front of the shaker with liquid glue.
- Use a strong adhesive to attach the shaker assembly to a mini-slimline (3″ x 6″) card base
