Birthday Shaker Card

Make a fun birthday shaker card with a cute ice cream cone, using treats from four days of Spellbinders Crafty Advent Calendar!

Let’s take a look at our four new treats before we make the card.

Day 13 is a lovely stamp set that can be used for birthdays. It has four stamps that say: Happy Birthday, Have an Amazing Day, I’m Glad You Were Born, and To Someone Special. They are in a fun font that can be dressed up or down depending on what you want to use it for.

The treat behind Day 14 is a cute die set to create an ice cream cone with a cherry on top.

Day 17 is a nested set of dies that can be used in any number of ways. We’ll use one of them to create the shaker window for our card.

Finally, there’s a big package of bright blue iridescent sequins behind the door for Day 18.

Steps To Create The Birthday Shaker Card

Die-cut as follows:
- Cone – Dune
- Cone marks and Cherry Stem- Timber
- Chocolate ice cream – Latte
- Icing – Raindrop
Add a little glue to the bottom edge of the Icing and sprinkle with glitter
Assemble the ice cream cone with liquid glue
Trim bright bright blue cardstock to 3 3/4″ x 3 3/4″ (or, you can use a square stitched die as I did)
Heat emboss “Happy Birthday” at the top of the square with white embossing powder
Using the largest of the nesting frames from Day 17, die-cut a window from the blue square centered below the sentiment.
Trim patterned paper to A2 size (4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″)
Center the blue square on the patterned paper from top to bottom and side to side and lightly mark on the patterned paper where the die-cut frame is. And then use the die to cut the frame from the patterned paper
Fasten the patterned paper to a white A2 card base with a tape runner
Stamp “To someone special” from the Day 13 Stamp set onto the card base inside the frame with red ink
Trim a piece of acetate to 3 1/2″ x 3 1/2″ and fasten to the back of the blue cardstock with double-sided adhesive tape.
Add a double layer of foam tape around the edges of the back of the blue frame
Pour some of the sequins from Day 18 in the center of the white frame on the card base
Remove the backing paper and carefully lower the blue frame down onto the card base making sure to center it and keep all the sequins on the inside.
Fasten the ice cream cone onto the front of the blue frame with liquid glue.
