Autumn Shaker

     Here is a shaker card using the Autumn Season's Greetings paper from Graphic 45. The shaker is built over a piece of ephemera. It is difficult to see in the picture, but the filling for the shaker is Michael's "Fun in a Jar". I bought this 3 jar set a couple of years ago. It came in several colors. I bought the brown and the turquoise. I truly regret not buying every single color that they had. When you move the card the 3 different types of filler each react in its own individual way. The spherical pieces roll around, while the flat circles grab the light. 


     The frame around the shaker is made using brown metallic paper which is embossed with a 3D folder. The metallic paper catches the light. Two corners of the frame feature a fussy-cut sunflower and feathers. The ivory bow made of seam binding softens the card as do the brown pearls. 


     The inside of the card is an ephemera card, with a fussy-cut edge. Under the upper left corner is the center of the frame from the card front. It is diagonally cut and used as an accent. The brown and white stripe is trimmed on the diagonal.



     I will be making 16 cards and 4 calendars with this Graphic 45 Seasons Paper. All of these SEASON cards can be made using:

  • one sheet of each of the patterned paper 
  • one sheet of each of  Prints and Solids
In order to make All Seasons cards and calendars, you only need purchase the following items once:
  • Tags and Pockets
  • Chip Board
  • Ephemera
  • Stickers
  • Season's Patterns and Solids 
Stay tuned for more cards this year.
