Find me by the sea slimline infinity shaker
by Silvana Chambon on Apr 30 2024
Hello and welcome to the Picket Fence Studios blog! It´s Silvana here and today I´m sharing with you an infinity slimline shaker card with some of the last release products. As you may know, an infinity shaker it´s an edge to edge shaker card or a full panel shaker. So let´s see how to make it!
Let´s start by the background. I used the Slimline scene Building: Seashore Cover Plate Die to make with but I cut it three times with the different shades of the Fabulous Foiling Toner Cardstock Ocean Breeze Blues to make the water. I used a recycled paper cardstock that had some speckles that ressembles sand for the last piece. In a closer photo you will see that I made some "foam" in the lighter shade of blue cardstock. I used Paper Glaze Luxe Arctic Fox and apllied it with my finger for that.
I glued the different pieces onto a slimline size panel. After that I cut a piece of Shaker sheets half an inch bigger than the background and glued it on the back leaving one side open to pour the shaker fill which was the new Sequin Mix Island Blues. I love the iridiscent colors and the perfect mix of sequins. It was perfect for this shaker.
I glued the last part of the shaker sheet to seal and put all the background over a slimine size card base.
For the sentiment I used the new Find me by the sea Word Die Set made this way: for the SEA I put some of the new Paper Glaze Glass Sea Glass Coral onto a light weight cardstock and waited until It was completely dry. This new Paper Glaze has a translucent look, but over a white cardstock looks amazing. For the rest of the sentiment I foiled a piece of the Fabulous Foiling cardstock with Fabulous Toner Foil in Metallic Silver and cut it. I arranged the sentiment on the left side of the card so this will let the background and the sequins show.
And that´s it! Despite using many products, the card is easy to make and looks great. I hope you can give it a try and let me know if you like it.
You can follow me on my IG: @casamagnolia_nh where I post the majority of my cards or you can find me on my website, where I write english/ spanish posts.
Thank you so much for stopping by.
See you on my next post!
Have a happy week and happy creations!
Silvana.

Hello there! Michelle here, sharing a shaker card focusing on Gemini Girl Stamp and Coordinating Die. I colored her up with Copic Markers in shades C0 C1 C4/ Y11 Y13 Y15 Y19/ YG03 YG13 YG09. Check out all the Horoscope Girls HERE.
I inked up the background using Slim Line Cloud Coverage Stencil and some distress oxide inks in shades mustard seed and twisted citron. Of course I used the Life Changing Blender Brushes...they blend so effortlessly!I used the Slim Line Full Front Shaker Die to create the card.
Before sealing the card I added some sequin mixes, Pot of Gold and Petals- minus the colored petals. Check out all the sequin mixes HERE and sequin mixes plus HERE.
Thanks so much for taking a peek!!

"Into The Woods" Slim Line Shaker Card with Rachelle
by Rachelle Oltean on Jan 24 2022
Hello! It's Rachelle here and I'm so excited to share this slim line shaker card I created by combining lots of different Picket Fence Studios' products!
This design came together pretty quickly with the help of a couple key products. First - the "Slim Line Full Front Shaker Die" Set and secondly, the NEW "Slim Line Woods Cover Plate Die" Set! I started by die cutting the woods die scene from heavy-weight white card stock and selectively trimming a few trees/branches from the image. I chose to edit this because I wanted a bit more space for the shaker garnish to be seen and to highlight the deer die cut. Once trimmed, I watercolored just the leaves in a bright green and the die cut was glued onto a piece of charcoal gray card stock. This is almost a reverse silhouette design and all of the components really pop off of that charcoal background!
I created a white frame by using the slim line rectangular insert from the "Slim Line Full Front Shaker Die" and a smaller rectangle from the "Slim Line Nested Rectangles Dies". This frame was cut twice and glued/stacked together and adhered on top of the woods panel. I die cut a piece of thin packaging acetate with the "Slim Line Full Front Shaker Die", adhered double-sided tape along three sides of the back of the woods panel and wrapped the acetate around to adhere it into place. I chose to use the NEW "Spring Green Shaker Garnish" as my fill (to match my green leaves) and carefully poured about a tablespoon into my shaker panel. Then all I had to do was to close up the remaining shaker flap on the backside with the double-sided tape and the panel was adhered to the front of a slim line card base.
I die cut the sentiment from brushed silver card stock using the "Mini Slim Line Double Stitched Rectangles Die Cutting System" and the running buck ("More Deer Family Dies") from gray card stock. Both of these die cuts were carefully adhered to the shaker acetate with liquid adhesive to finish up the design! I just love how that Spring Green Shaker Garnish easily moves inside the card front and works both as leaves and grass in this scene! I highly encourage you to try some of the NEW Shaker Garnish colors - they are so light weight and really add a unique shaker element especially when combined with Picket Fence Studios' Sequins/Sequins Mix Plus options!
Thanks so much for joining me today! Happy Crafting - Rachelle : )
