What are your favourite things to put inside shaker cards? My LSS has the 28 Lilac Lane cubes of sequins mixed with buttons and glitter, but I am wondering what everyone's favourite brand of "shaker stuff" is?
Sequins from all the major stamp companies from which I order online. (NOT the overly shiny, overly bright kind you find at Dollar Store and craft stores) and PRILLS...tiny round things that look like they belong on top of a cupcake. Many color groups, like sequins. I think I got some from My Favorite Things, and maybe Joann, online.
I string jewelry, too, so I'm thinking of using real beads, too.
I have seen those. They look beautiful but were kind of expensive?
Do you want it to rattle? Kids love that. Then seed beads are good. Doesn't take a lot either. They come in a million colors and finishes at any craft source.
I have been using these guys a LONG time-they are a wholesaler but they sell to the public too. You have to share with friends because stuff can come by the mil (1000)

Mixing some solo left overs can be a good way to use it up. If it comes mixed (like with a shape) that costs more. Do it yourself!
I like prills too.
I want to do an experiment myself to see if I can custom color clear with alcohol markers, esp in a pinch cuz I am not that patient to make a habit of it. I am still trying to find TRUE clear though. They always seem to have a touch of AB to them. :rolleyes:

I've been using copics to custom color lots of things for a long times - they work on pearls, and sparkly stick on gems...just about anything. So I'm guessing they'll work on prills as well.

I've used:
1) cake sprinkles for birthday card
2) coffee grounds on a coffee themed card
3) Sand on a beach card
4) holiday confetti (I have ghosts/bats and easter confetti)
Have fun and STAMP on!!

My husband used to finish dry wall way back in the 80's. He put glitter in the textured ceilings. I still have a ton of it left. I think I could make 1000++++ shaker cards and still have some left. Hey, I'm re-purposing LOL. I have made a fairy birthday card and nautical themed card using the glitter so far.
For snow/ winter cards/holiday cards I like using the �fake snow� you can find around the holidays. Picked up a massive bag for $1 at The Dollar Store.
Shaker cards...
