A little window with confetti/etc inside? How to do that?
Hey talented ladies!
I have an idea in my head that I would like to do, but not sure how to do it exactly, nor what it's called to search for directions. That's where you come in!
I'd like to make a small "window", and put confetti in it. In this case, I plan on making a fall card, and putting small leaves inside it, so they move around in the little window. I hope this is making sense. It'd hard to describe.
Does anyone know how to do this? I imagine you would want to use transparency paper, so you can see thru it, but then, do you use chip board so it raises off the paper enough so that the "confetti" can move around?
It's called a shaker card, and there's a tutorial for them in the Resources section. It's a guaranteed WOW -- it looks much harder than it is! Have fun, and I hope this helps!

Hi
Check in the resources section for "shaker card". It will tell you how to do it. I've also seen it done by using those rubber scraps that we cut off the rubber stamps (and can't seem to part with). You piece together a few scraps to make a border around the "shaken" part. Peel off the red rubber part, and the gray part is sticky on both sides. This will give you space between the cardstock pieces, plus it sticks to both surfaces. Good luck!

Wonderful! Thanks so much for all your ideas! I knew my "genius idea" was already thought of lol. I figured I am behind the times. But thank you so much for the great ideas and I will check out the tutorial and the gallery hopefully tomorrow. I'm also glad I know now what they are called!
Katestamps716 LOVE that card! So fun! OK and where do you get those pouches? Any scrapbook store? I've never seen them before, although I have never actually looked.
OOOO and tigerlily55, you're in Appleton? Have you been to that scrapbook store there, Scrapbook and Stamping Memories? There's one in Janesville and we go there quite a bit, as it is just 30 minutes from us and we don't have any scrapbook stores in Rockford anymore. Love that store!
I ordered some last night from the Stampin Up mini holiday catalog. How I missed them is beyond me! They're so fun. I've made a couple of shaker cards now and they are so fun and adorable, and a huge hit! I am so behind the times, aren't I?
I would like to know that too. I bought some of those but cant figure out how to get the treat out of the little bowl.

Oh, wow, awesome. I'll have to go check that out. What they don't think of!
Thanks! Me, if I got a card like that, would not take the candy out cuz it's too pretty lol. But I'm probably the only one like that so I'd like that slider idea for when I make them!
