Hello crafty friends! I made some really fun shaker cards using die-cut elements. These fancy dies, Kite and the Gumball Machine are from the latest Hero Arts May 2023 release.

I made a video tutorial on how I created these cards linked below.
Here are more photos of the cards:

The background of the kite card is ink blended using the Color Layering Clouds stencil. There are three stencils in the set that creates beautiful skies.

I also used the holographic cardstocks that came in the Hero Arts My Monthly Hero May 2023 Premium kit.

The sentiment “You Sparkle” is from the You Sparkle stamp set. I stamped it out in black pigment ink and heat embossed it using Sparkling Sea embossing powder.

For the second card, I inkblended the background with the Starlight Rays stencil.

I paper pieced the gumball machine elements using holographic paper and aqua glitter cardstock which also came in this month’s kit.

The sentiment “Have a Sweet Birthday” is from the Color Layering cupcake set, heat embossed with Sparkling Sea embossing powder.
I hope you were inspired to try making these shaker elements for your cards!
Have a wonderful, crafty day!
