Directions:
Step 1:
Cut shaker template from cardstock, cut out center. Score all fold
lines. Cut a square from cardstock and a square from acetate plastic
both should be about 1/2" larger than the window opening.
Step 2:
Cover one side of template with desired stamp images and stamp one
side of the square cardstock - you will see this through the window
of your card.
Step 3:
**This is the secret to perfectly centered insides!** Place a strip
of scrap O'So Sticky or other on one of the narrow tabs close to the
outside edge of tab. Hold your stamped card up with the front facing
you. Now place your stamped square behind the window design facing
the window and align. Fold over the tab so that the tape catches
your square. Now it will be perfectly aligned when you are done!
Step 4:
On the back side of the template place four pieces of O'So Sticky
scraps the width of each side around cut out window, overlap if you
must but do not leave any gaps or your beads will spill out!
*** TIP *** To fight static cling inside your shaker, spray glass
cleaner onto a paper towel and wipe it over both sides of your
acetate. Let dry completely before going to step 5.
Step 5:
Place acetate piece on top of double sided tape. Rub down to adhere.
(Don't worry if the square isn't completely covering the tape.)
Step 6:
Place four lengths of foam mounting tape on top of acetate. Try to
make sure pieces touch on all four edges to form a box around the
window. Take the paper off of the foam tape now.
Step 7:
CAREFULLY fill center with beads - use LESS than you think you need!
There should be enough room for the beads to shake back and forth
when it is put together but if you put too many, it will cover your
image.
Step 8:
Fold the tab with the square cardstock attached in and secure to the
sticky foam. Add double sided tape to the other narrow tab, fold in
and secure. Add tape to the larger top and bottom tabs, fold in to
secure. Now turn it over and admire your work! This card has been
designed to be "finished" at this point, but if desire you can mount
it on to a coordinating cardstock to make a traditional card.
