Hi all Vicki-Ann here today and I am using the lovely Rinea metallic foiled paper and the Helmar 450 Craft Glue to make a shaker card.
The shimmer of the Rinea Mettallic foiled Paper looks awesome for this and I just love the way it embosses.
What you will need.
- Helmar Quick Dry Adhesive
- Rinea Metallic foiled Paper in Fuchsia/Gold
- Craft knife and self healing craft mat
- Ruler
- Cardboard
- Cardstock
- Punch for hearts
- Embossing folder
- Bigshot
- Wooden XOXO
I made myself a template out of cardstock so had the size I wanted. That made it easier to cut the cardboard and the 2 other layers that I needed. Then I cut the cardboard using a craft knife on the self healing craft mat.
Then I cut the part that would cover the cardboard so you wont see that. I edged the bottom of the top page with a wave design. Cut some plastic to fit over the front of your square on the cardboard and a piece of Rinea metallic paper that will cover the back.
I punched hearts out of the Rinea paper it is double sided so gold on one side and fuschia on the other so that made having it all coordinated very easy.
I ran the fuchsia side up through my bigshot with an embossing folder to add the words, then layered on a white card with first a layer of gold underneath then the embossed Rinea paper in the fuchsia.
You need some plastic, I used an A4 plastic sheet and cut it to fit the square.
Then your shaker part to assemble lay your cardboard down first.
Add your Helmar 450 Quick Dry Adhesive around the edge of the square and place the plastic over and press all around.
Then add more Helmar 450 Quick Dry Adhesive and add your fuschia top layer over the plastic.
Then turn it over and add your punched hearts. I had some showing the fuschia side and some showing the gold side.
Go around the back with your Helmar 450 Quick Dry Adhesive and add your fuschia backing paper and make sure to press down all around the edges so your Hearts don't escape.
Now you have your shaker.
So all you need to do now is add more of the Helmar Quick Dry Adhesive to the back of your shaker and place it on top of your embossed card.
I added a little wooden detail of a xoxo on top with more of the Helmar 450. I used distress ink to colour it fuchsia and added some gold to the edges of it.
The embossing worked so well and having the double sided papers made it so easy.
The Helmar 450 Quick Dry made it very simple and quick. I did not have to wait for layers to dry.
