Cherry Blossom Cut-In Card Topper
Slimline SVG Cutz
Scented Shaker Card Tutorial
with Leigh
Shaker cards are so much fun and my new Cherry Blossom Cut-In Card Topper SVG Cutz sets for electronic cutting machines, like Cricut and Silhouette, etc, paired up with your favourite decorative papers and mixed media backgrounds are perfect for making stunning shakers!
Today I've got an elegant slimline shaker card with multiple shaker sections featuring my new Cherry Blossom Cut-In Slimline Card Topper SVG Cutz set to inspire you. The beautiful floral cut-in design is perfect for making both vertical and horizontal slimline cards with the included overlay, mats and layers or take them to the next level and make shaker cards!
The 5 piece Cherry Blossom Cut-In Slimline Card Topper SVG Cutz set includes everything you need to make a fabulous layered
topper for your card fronts and more. The top overlay has a wonderful cut-in Cherry Blossom design of 4 flowers in various sizes and a mat layer that lets you customize
the colour of the flowers. The set also includes 3 concentric mat
layers to complete your card fronts.
Using my Silhouette Cameo 5 and Electrostatic Mat I first cut out the beautiful stylized Cherry Blossom cut-in overlay panel from a vintage shabby chic floral patterned paper. I then applied Crafter's Companion gold glitter glue to the edges of the panel and all the flower stamens.
Instead of the traditional clear acetate I backed the front overlay panel of my shaker with white vellum and used the backing mat layer included in the SVG Cutz set to cut out the vellum panel.
To make this shaker slimline card even more dramatic I turned all 4 of the flower openings into shakers instead of the entire card front where the shaker contents end up puddled at the bottom!
I first framed the entire panel with narrow
foam tape then added foam tape strips around each flower. Next I cut a second panel of vellum and dry fit it so I could map out the flower areas and cut out the pieces to seal and contain the shaker contents in each
flower section. This also left the circle cut-ins open so the flowers have a more muted shade and the circles remain the true colour of the background panel which I cut from a sheet of peach cardstock using the mat layer included in the set.
How can your shaker cards get any better? How about making SCENTED shaker cards!!!!
I filled my shaker flowers with scented pink and white powders which I mixed with crystal glitter to make my shaker card not only look good it SMELLS good too!!!!! How cool and clever is that!!!!
I don't think I've seen anyone do this so remember you saw it here first, wink wink!
To complete my card I made a folded 4" x 9" inch slimline card base from heavy weight white cardstock.
You can see the Cherry Blossom Cut-In Slimline Card Topper SVG Cutz set makes gorgeous vertical and horizontal slimline cards and even more gorgeous shaker cards! I hope you'll add this SVG Cutz set for electronic cutting machines to your collection along with all the wonderful designs in my new Windows to Spring Collection!
