Shaking Up Graduation with Shaker Cards
Jennifer Snyder here to congratulate all new graduates and parents/grandparents/step parents/ guardians of graduates. Why not help that graduate shake up the future?
I'm talking about shaker cards of course.
I've been enjoying the new shaker card designs from Creative Embellishments.
These chipboard shaker sets are unique and fun to make, fill, and give.
This particular set of cards features the shakers and the cool Artist Trading Cards from Creative Embellishments.
Here are the chipboard sets used:

OK so now you have your shaker card made and you are ready to fill it. You have easy options!
I found a cool company called Buttons Galore and More, specializing in shaker mix.
They have an assortment of colors and bits for the perfect filler. The one below is called Sparkletz - Commencement SPK128 complete with small balloons, stars and graduation caps. Simply adorable yet perfect for masculine and feminine grads.

The Sentiment
The sentiment stamp used on the card is from Spellbinders/ FSJ ( Inside & Out Stamp Set) and is stamped using a black ink also from Spellbinders/Fun Stampers Journey called Black Licorice True Color Fusion Ink Pad .
If you'd like to really make the stamp pop, then immediately cover the ink with clear embossing powder to heat set. The clear embossing and heat setting seals the ink and gives a nice smooth sheen to the stamp making it pop a bit.

Happy New Year Artist Trading Coins (ATC's)? Absolutely!
Creative Embellishments -Artist Trading Coins - Happy New Year for Graduation? Absolutely! Use them to mark the graduation year on the cards. It's a perfect way to gussy up the card and use the ATC chippies in a smart resourceful way.
This set is actually perfect to note the year on any project or card. Just tuck the ATC that says 'Happy New Year" away for another project.

Here is the second card. It's got more of a classic look however I still chose the Creative Embellishments -Artist Trading Coins - Happy New Year to make the year a sort of statement focal piece.
The chipboard treatments on the stars and the ATC were pretty easy. I embossed them using a clear liquid dabber. I think it is easier to apply to chipboard than trying to use an embossing stamp pad, and it provides better coverage.
I coated with Chunky Gold Embossing Enamel and painted with a bit of black and blue acrylic paint when dry -to blend with the papers.
