It is my turn to host this week's TLC challenge and I am having some end if summer blahs. I have been going in so many directions this month that coming up with a new challenge has been really hard so I went through the past tutorials for an idea. I landed on a pretty common technique but a really fun one from a 2008 tutorial... a SHAKER CARD.
For today's challenge, I am going for a shaker card using simple circle dies. These are easy to make and so much fun. I find my self constantly playing with mine - just shake, shake, shaking for fun. Do you do that?
Your challenge today is to create a shaker card. As I have been trying to do all year - use whatever you have! Any die shape works!! If you have no dies, use scissors and go for a simple shape. JUST.HAVE.FUN!!
Anyone have any techniques for keeping the shaker contents shaking and not sticking to the edge of the foam tape?
A lot of people recommend dusting it lightly with talcum or cornflour (cornstarch).
My favourite way, but it takes a long time, is actually using silicone glue to create the wall!
I'll be along with mine tomorrow. I've had the busiest 3 weeks in work, finally coming to an end and getting a little more time back. Fun, it's been a while since I made a shaker.
It's been eons since I've uploaded a card, but after the past year or so that included a lockdown, a relocation and a lot of adjustment, I'm finding time for creativity again. Thanks for looking at my Shaker Santa!
