Who Said Shaker Pouches Have to Shake or Be Flat??

After making a card with an embossed Pink and Main Shaker cover I just had to get some more! I shared a bunch of embossed shakers in my new video here. But I wondered what else I could do with the rest of the shaker covers as we get 10 in a package. Creating with acetate can be difficult because thick acetate is not easy to score and fold, and attaching it is also difficult. I decided to cut off three of the adhesive tab sides of the Pink and Main Shaker Covers and here are the cards I made with that idea:


I simply applied a 49 and Market rub on transfer to the acetate cover along with some Tim Holtz fabric tape. The die cut sentiment is on the inside blue card base.



Both of these cards were made with embossed Pink and Main shaker covers that had 3 sides cut off so they are attached on one side only, and were decorated inside and out with 49 and Market Laser Elements over their patterned cardstock. The embossed acetate adds such texture but is hard to show in still photographs.


This card shows a way to use the Pink and Main shaker cover without any shaker bits. I attached a large rub on transfer over an embossed piece of cardstock and sealed all four sides. I will be honest that I tried a brand of rub on transfers other than my usual current favorites like 49 and Market, Graphic 45 and Hero Arts and do not recommend them. They were so hard to work with and get both covers off that this is the last card I will make with them. So you  can learn from my mistake:)
