Hello my Crafty Friends!

Angelique Vuur here, one of Kat’s creative makers! From now on, you will see me here monthly with a new card. I hope you all will like what I show you! I always love to read your comments, and please let me know if you’d like to see a particular project.

Now back to the card! We all have those moments, when you need a birthday card but don’t have one in your stash. well, I’ve got you covered with an easy card, made with the new Kat Scrappiness Card Builder Dies

🧰 Kat Scrappiness Supplies Used

• Card Builder craft dies 1
• Birthday Quokka 6×6 paperpad
• Birthday Quokka Ephemera Pack
• Glitter Sequin Mix – Peacock Blue
• Silver Bullet Shaker Dots

📋 Card Details:

• I mostly make 5×7 inch cards, because I like the extra border around. So a 5×7 side-folding cream card, but you also can use an A2 side-folding cream card base. By this last option you don’t have the extra border.
• Using the new Kat Scrappiness Essential Card Builder Dies 1, with the yellow cardstock with bubbles from the paperpad, created a frame for the shaker front.

• Die cut again a frame with this die on a yellow cardstock.
• Adhered the normal yellow frame to the red cardstock out of the paper pad.

• For an extra festive look, I die cut again on a cardstock with colored circles out the paper pad, but this time with the little pieces within the frame.
• Adhered these pieces on the red cardstock, being the background of the shaker.
• Furthermore, I adhered a piece of clear acetate behind the yellow frame with the bubbles, being the front of the shaker.

• Assembled the background of the shaker with foam tape around the edges before pouring in the shaker bits. I used Kat’s Glitter Sequin Mix – Peacock Blue and Kat’s Silver Bullet Shaker Dots.

You can fill up the shaker with shaker bits of your choice. Kat Scrappiness has a HUGE assortment with all kinds of shaker bits. Don’t forget to look on the website by Embellishments!

• Adhered the front of the shaker to the foam tape. And the shaker part itself is done!

• Now the decorating part, you can use whatever you like! Adhered some ephemera pieces to the front of the card, as you see on the picture. I wanted to keep the separate areas on top of the card intact. So I placed the presents in one area and the sweet quokka with balloon in another. Some with glue and some with some foam tape. For a sentiment, I used the “Happy b-day” from the ephemera pack.
• If chosen for an A2 card: adhere the whole shaker part to your A2 side-folding card and your card is finished.
• If you choose a 5×7 card: adhere the whole shaker part to a slightly bigger dark blue piece of cardstock and next adhere this to your 5×7 card. I cut off a bit of the card so the border is evenly wide. And the card is finished!

Thanks so much for stopping by!
