Shaker cards are a great way to add a bit of extra fun and sparkle to your craft projects. With the help of the Cricut Maker, it’s easy to create beautiful shaker cards with a few simple steps. Here’s how!
Step 1: Choose your materials. You’ll need cardstock, sequins, glitter, confetti, or other small items for the “shaking” part of your shaker card. You’ll also need adhesive foam strips and clear adhesive dots to secure your shaker components in place.
Step 2: Cut out your card base and any other design elements you’d like on your card using the Cricut Maker. Be sure to use adhesive-backed cardstock or vinyl so that you can easily stick it onto the foam strips in Step 3.
Step 3: Place adhesive foam strips around the edges of your card base and adhere them down firmly. Use scissors or an X-Acto knife to trim away any excess foam.
Make sure that all edges are completely sealed so that nothing can escape from the shaker area.
Step 4: Place a layer of clear adhesive dots over the foam strips and then place your design elements on top. You can also add sequins, glitter, or confetti at this stage for extra sparkle! Use scissors or an X-Acto knife to trim away any excess material.
Step 5: Cover the entire design with another layer of clear adhesive dots and press everything firmly in place. Be sure to press down around all edges so that nothing can escape from the shaker area.
Step 6: Once everything is secure, add another layer of adhesive foam strips around the edges of your card base and adhere them down firmly again. Then add a final layer of clear adhesive dots over top for extra security.
And that’s it! Your Cricut Shaker Card is complete! With just these six simple steps, you can create beautiful cards with lots of sparkle and pizzazz using just a few supplies and your Cricut Maker.
