Making a confetti shaker card has been on my To Do list for quite a while. I haven't been in much of a crafting mood lately, but decided to play around and I came up with this. I love it!
I did my own take on the confetti card. I wanted to put this in my Project Life, but I didn't want all the confetti to settle at the bottom. I used some spray adhesive on some vellum and then dropped some confetti onto the vellum. I added a couple of leaf stickers. I like the look of sewn shaker cards, but I'm not about to drag out my sewing machine for something so small - so I used washi tape to seal the edges. I think it turned out pretty good! Here's the confetti card in a Project Life spread.
Have you made a confetti card? Do you like the stitched look or washi tape better?
I love reading each and every comment! Be sure to keep up with me on Instagram, Pinterest, and
What a great idea, it turned out really cute! I've made confetti shakers a couple of different ways, but I'll be trying yours out next!
ReplyDeleteI hope it turns out well!!
DeleteSuch a great idea! I've never done a shaker, but I definitely need to. I'm too lazy to take out my sewing machine, haha.
ReplyDeleteI'm WAY too lazy to drag out a sewing machine ;)
DeleteI really like the sequins and washi tape. It almost looks like a framed piece. Great job.
ReplyDeleteI thought it looked like a frame too. Thanks Debby!
DeleteSo cute! Love the washi border!
ReplyDeleteThanks Madeline!
DeleteThat is so cute and looks like a fun card. Sadly I had my fill back when we used die cuts to make shakers out of them. So really haven't jumped on the new shaker wave. I do enjoy looking at what others have done though. TFS
ReplyDeleteThanks Leslie! :)
DeleteThis is adorable! Love the idea of fall confetti!
ReplyDeleteFall is my favorite time of year. A confetti card was the perfect way to celebrate!
DeleteI have not done this yet, but your card look's very autumn-y & pretty
ReplyDeleteThanks so much!
DeleteThis looks really cute, I love the addition of the leaves! I have trouble with washi peeling off some projects so I'm not sure I'd trust it to hold loose confetti but it's probably okay for bits that are stuck in place! x
ReplyDeleteThanks!! I wouldn't trust wash on loose confetti either!! This card is going in a Project Life spot, so I figured it would stay in place.
DeleteThis is such a great idea. I love any fun thing to do with vellum.
ReplyDeleteI really like vellum now too!
DeleteCute idea!
ReplyDeleteThanks Shemaine!
DeleteYour card is gorgeous !
ReplyDeleteI'm more a sewing girl than a washi girl (I sew on everything but don't have lots of washi !), so the only card I made like this was with sewing (http://isbahashome.blogspot.fr/2013/10/cards-with-leftovers-part-1.html), but I also love the look of the woodgrain washi, beautiful !
Thanks Isbaha! Your card is lovely. I think if I had a place to keep my sewing machine set up all the time, I would use it more...
DeleteLove this! I don't own a sewing machine so this is perfect.
ReplyDeleteIt's a great alternative to the stitched look!
DeleteGreat job! I just made one last night for my dad's Thanksgiving card! I lie the stitched look, but like you I am not dragging out my big machine.
ReplyDeleteThanks Denise!!
