This video is all about options—color shifts, background choices, and smart stash substitutions—so you can make a similar look with what you already own. You’ll see:

• How lightly inking an embossed background adds instant depth
• How to create and build a shaker card
• Simple ways to fill a shaker (sequins, glitter, beads—mix and match!)
• Substitutions if you don’t have the exact dies, inks, colors or embellishments

You can either watch the video below or head over to my YouTube Channel HERE to check it out.


Please feel free to use products from your stash to recreate something similar. However, if you are interested in any of the products I’m using, you can find the supply list with links down below. Using these links does not cost you anything extra and it helps support my business. It also allows me to continue offering free content and keep my class costs low. I appreciate your support!

TIPS & TRICKS

Window Clarity: Wipe acetate with an microfiber cloth before sealing to clean it before you add your shaker pieces. You can also use an antistatic tool to reduce cling, but it may leave a residual powder on the acetate so I don't tend to do this.
Dimension with Control: Make sure your foam tape is thicker than what you are using for your shaker pieces.
Use any solid die shape to create your own shaker window. You don't have to create a snowglobe to still get the shaker effect.

COLORING THE DIE CUTS

Most of the die cuts were cut from Distress Watercolor Cardstock with the exception of the black pieces (the bow, skull base, Jack-O-Lantern base, and handle), which I cut from black cardstock. The skull and bones were cut from white cardstock.

Using the Scrapbook.com GripMate, I held each die cut in place and ink blended with these Distress Ink colors:
Jack-O-Lantern – Rusty Hinge, Wild Honey
Flowers – Seedless Preserves, Fossilized Amber
Leaves – Peeled Paint
Fern – Black Soot
Candy Corn – Carved Pumpkin, Fossilized Amber
Green Candy – Twisted Citron, Mowed Lawn
Purple Candy – Dusty Concord, Villainous Potion
Striped Candy – Black Soot, Dusty Concord

I assembled everything with Distress Collage Medium, then added shine and texture. The candy pieces got a coat of Glossy Accents followed by a dusting of Rock Candy Glitter using the Glitter Duster. The skull and bones also got a glossy finish for a little extra dimension.
