Father's Day Shaker Card!
Hey everyone! It's Nawar here back with a cool way to make a customized shaker father's day card! To begin, you'll need a blank card like this nautical one from the PopFizzPaper July planner kit. You can also choose to make your own base with any paper of your choice! I'm also using some of the paper included in the kit for the shaker portion of the card. Additionally, you'll need some sequins, mounting tape, some acetate sheets and anything else you might want to decorate your card with!
The first thing I did is measure out how big I wanted my shaker frame to be and cut out a piece with these measurements. I chose to make the frame a rectangle but you can choose any shape you want! I also cut out mounting tape to line the back of my frame. However, do not put the mounting tape on the frame just yet! First we need to make our clear cover for the shaker component.
Now, since I didn't have acetate sheets, I used the packaging that my PopFizzPaper planner stickers come in! It worked just fine so feel free to substitute acetate sheets with with whatever clear plastic sheets you have lying around the house.
I cut out the plastic to fit the back of the frame and taped it on with some double- sided tape.
At this point, I decorated the part of the card that will be the background to the shaker frame.
I put the sequins that I want in the shaker in the center and put the mounting tape on my frame. Make sure it is completely lined with no gaps so that sequins don't fall out!
Carefully place the frame over the sequins and start shaking! Last, but least, I decorated and customized the rest of the card! I did some hand-lettering and added some stickers from Freckled Fawn, which can be found on the PopFizzPaper website.
I hope you all have a wonderful father's day and enjoy making this card as much as I did!

Using the plastic sleeve from the stickers was GENIUS! I must do this!
