Jungle Safari Shaker

Jungle Safari Shaker

Hi friends I don't know how many of you love Safaris. Well I just love going into the forest....the anticipation of seeing an exotic bird or elusive animal and the sheer thrill on spotting one is unparalleled!
Just like in the jungle...this shaker decor piece has many hidden treasures . I propped up the shaker on 2 layers of circular foam diecuts and added it to a larger circular base made with several layers of card stock and  glitter foam.

2 little birdies nest behind the front shaker panel amidst the swaying coconut trees!{coconut trees are fancy buttons!} I tucked in the  little birdies in the space between the base and the images on the front of the  shaker so that they are not seen from the front but only from the sides or top!

Loved  using the sentiment "Make Life  a grand Safari Adventure" as a theme for this project. It is such a perfect sentiment...Life should indeed be filled with anticipation, hope and joy!

I placed the fussy cut exotic bird in such a way that they are feasting on scrumptious wild fruit!

Added shiny ruby red ladybirds to keep the avian folk company. Graphic 45 papers have the  most gorgeous leaves and flowers which are perfect to make a tropical jungle.

Added  colourful fruit slices and flower sequins inside the shaker .

And here my safari ends  with a view of all the exotic flora and fauna and the shaker flowers, beads and fruits.

Shaker Decoration
I took 3 days to make this project. What started off as a simple shaker ornament  kept evolving as I went on adding just one more thing!!
I hope you enjoyed seeing this project as much as I enjoyed showing it to you.

Jar Shaker Cards


Hi friends...sharing fun shaker cards in a Jar/Bottle shape

Crealies  "Cardzz" dies are perfect for making shaker cards as the  size is big and there are usually frame style inner dies to easily create the  shaker frame

To make these shaker Jars,I die cut 2 jars from card stock, 1 from acetate and 4 from pattern paper. The set has 2 inner dies for layering or creating frames and I made 3 frames from pattern paper, card stock and foam


The base was created using pattern paper and card stock and I added the  foam frame atop it

I added a trio of dangling butterflies inside the  jar by sticking butterfly diecuts dangling from threads onto the  foam frame. Layered the  card stock frame atop it ...put in the  shaker elements and sealed with an acetate Jar to create my shaker

The flower is a simple stacked flower made using Crealies  dies

I just had to add some foliage and pollen to complete the  card.


The big berry pollen is my favourite...it looks good enough to eat!!!

To match the  dangling butterflies I added dangling crystals on the neck of the  jar.

I ran out of crystal hearts and so used a butterfly button dangler on this one

I had so much fun making these shakers I made them in different colours!

Batch production is sometimes fun as you don"t have to think too much about the  design but just enjoy the  creation process !


 The 2nd orange jar is quite similar to the  first one except that it has 2 dangling button butterflies!

 The butterflies were a find from a local craft store and they look sooo cute!



Since I love making flowers I hardly ever use store bought flowers in my projects but I do love to buy the  pretty flowers when I see them in a shop...which is kinda crazy!! So for the  blue jar I used a pretty flower I bought from a local shop!

Added a beautiful butterfly button on the  neck of the  jar!


I decorated the  inside of all the  jars with pattern paper.

 I hope you liked my Shaker jar cards !

Shaker Ball Easel Card

Shaker Ball Easel Card
Hi friends...sharing a fun card...an Easel Card with a Shaker Ball!
This is a super easy card to put together using the  Crealies Cardzz 14 die.
I couldn't resist adding butterflies! On the base I added a scroll with the  Crealies
"Celebrate" propped up on foam which acts as a stopper for the easel shaker.

The card folds flat for mailing!

I hope you like this idea.

Mini Snowman Shakers

Mini Snowman Shakers
Hi friends....sharing a mini Tutorial to make these fun mini snowman shakers which you can use as mini note-cards, tags, bookmarks, ornaments or even as fridge magnets...
In short they are so cute you can use them to make so many different handmade gifts for the  festive season!

Mini Snowman Shaker Cards
I used the   Crealies snowman die [ which you have seen in these posts : Snowman Snowscape card, DIY Snowman Ornament, Snowman Circle Card, 3 D Christmas Card] to quickly make these little snowmen by mixing and matching colors. The hats are made out of shiny black glitter foam and I mixed different pattern papers to make the  scarves.
Snowman 
Use circle dies to create the shaker bodies for the  snowmen.  I used Crea-nestlies XXL Circle dies from Crealies but you can also hand-cut the  circles...die cutting just makes your job super easy.
Snowman Shakers

Tape 2 cirle dies as shown to die cut circle frames of a reasonable width. 

Snowman Shakers
You can use double sided adhesive foam or die cut 2 foam discs to create the wall for your shaker. 
Also cut a circular frame in paper to layer atop.

Snowman Shakers
This is how your shaker wall will look with the layers glued on top of each other.Cut an acetate circle and sandwich it between your foam disc wall and the  paper disc as shown below.

Also cut a solid circle from pattern paper and cardstock for the base of your shaker.

Snowman Shakers
So here are the  parts of your shaker snowman: circular foam frames with
acetate sandwiched and base circles.

I added a silver glitter foam snowflake to the base of the shaker. Add glitter balls, styrofoam snow balls, tiny stars or whatever else you fancy inside your shaker.

I love traditional Christmas Colors but you can go crazy and make flamingo pink shakers too!

Crafty Tip : Don't be tempted to add too many shaker elements in your shaker or it will not shake nicely!

Mini Snowman Shakers
Glue the base over the shaker and let it dry nicely.
Finally glue on your snowman on to its shaker body and voila you have your shaker snowman !
Mini Snowman Shaker Card
I add a backing so that my snowmen could stand.

You could add jumbo paper clips,magnets or ribbon hangers to them and use them in different ways.
