Turn Your ATCs into Shakers

It's very simple to turn your ATC's into shakers using Creative Embellishments - Coin Ring and Shaker Acrylic Pieces .  These were made to coordinate with the ATC's as spacers to create shakers. 

The chipboard pieces on this first card were lightly sponge dabbed with white acrylic paint.  Next after the white acrylic dried, I used a dry paintbrush and lightly painted aqua and green accents on the sea horses and a bit on the starfish.  

The paper is designed by a wonderful artist with a flowing watercolor style; Alexandra Renke - Seahorses.

Wondering what to use for shaker filler? 

OK so now you have turned your ATC's into shakers and you are ready to fill it.  Don't sit at your crafty desk and look around for little bits.  You have easy options!
Beads, Sequins, 

I filled with sequins and crystals from Buttons Galore - Sparkletz.  They have an assortment of colors and bits for the perfect filler.  

TIP:  Add your filler then use a good adhesive to seal the shaker with the pre-cut acrylic piece that comes in the kit.  I used Beacons 3-in-1glue because it dries clear and works well with a  variety of surfaces ( acrylics, plastics, wood, metal, fabric, canvas).

My second card is still designed in keeping with the seaside theme yet a little more conventional.  

The chippies are painted with white acrylic and a dab of light blue. 

The papers used on this card are from Stamperia's Sea Land 12x12 collection - a peaceful and soft collection perfect for seaside projects.

I did add a wisp of cheesecloth under the chipboard word and some glass beads.

Shaker Card Filled with Love - Chipboard, Sequins and Maya Design

Today I have a card created with denim and filled with love. 

Created with denim?  Yes indeed.  The papers used are from Maja Design - Denim & Girls 12x12 paper collection .  

Filled with love?  Absolutely - the Love themed chipboard is from Creative Embellishments with fun shaker material from 28 Lilac Lane, adding even more fun love.  

Maja Design has the perfect coordinating solid collection to pair with  Denim & Girls , taking the stress out of color matching.  It's the fabulous Monochrome Collection - Shades of Denim.  They have added 6 new shades to coordinate perfectly with the Denim & Girls papers.

In addition to the soft feminine papers and patters, I used chipboard from Creative Embellishments as my minimal embellishments.  Yes this card is a bit clean and simple in it's look, however I felt adding flowers and bows would have taken away from the elegance and grace of the card. 

This card has one additional added surprise because it is a shaker card.  I love creating shakers  as I  imagine the look on someone's face as they open a shaker card. 

This card is filled with shaker mix from 28 Lilac Lane and the mix is called "Marshmallow".

After painting the chipboard with cream acrylic paints and creating the shaker section, I added a  doily chipboard piece, giving the shaker a nice delicate decorative edge.

I also added small string pearls to the outside of the shaker to cover the chipboard seams and give a finished polished look.
