Back To School Shaker Card

This is a card I made for one of our grandkids for heading back to school this month. It’s a ‘Faux Shaker’, where the transparancy is folded around a journal card and secured at the back after adding some shaker filler. Then it was matted and added to the front of a 5x7” card.

NOTE:  I cut the transparency 1” larger than the journal card, in this case it’s a 4x6” journal card so the transparency was cut to 5x7”. I scored 1/2” on each side of the transparency then mitred the corners. Using a bone folder to ensure nice crisp folds of the transparency I used red line tape to attach it to the back of the journal card on three sides. That left me room to add in the sequins etc into the front side before securing the 4th side.

Inside, I added an apple sticker and a cut apart from some patterned paper in my stash. There was lots of room to write a note inside.

Supplies used:

4x6” Journal Card - stash, either Echo Park or Photo Play

Transparency

Sequins

Apple bits (filler)

5x7” card and envelope
