Hello, Friends!  Welcome to the Heartfelt Creations Alumni Blog Hop!  This Tea Time Shaker Card is precisely my cup of tea!   Soft and shabby chic, it’s also super easy to put together, thanks to the easy to use dies!

Tea Time Shaker Card: Creating the Card Front

The base for this beauty is a 5 1/4″ x 7 1/4″ top fold card with a 1/2″ spine.   Here’s how to put the cover together:

  • First, stitch around  edges of the sweet lavender gingham background,
  • Next, cut a 3″ wide belly band from the print on the reverse side and adhere in the center of the gingham panel.
  • Now,  die cut  the Eyelet Lace Frame from white cardstock.  Then adhere a 4″ x 6″ panel of clear cardstock on the back side of the card.  TIP: adhere the clear cardstock with Art Institute Dries Clear adhesive.  It holds well, and as the name suggests, dries clear.
  • After this, place 3 layers of Darice 1/8″ foam strips around the edges of the clear cardstock to create a shaker frame.
  • Next, fill the center of the belly band with your favorite shaker mix.
  • Now carefully center the shaker frame over the card front.  Press in place to seal all the edges of the foam strips.
  • Die cut the tea pot, cups, and floral corners from the Tea Time Collection.  Back with foam strips to create dimension and adhere.
  • Die cut the small cherry blossoms, birds and leaves from the Cherry Blossom Retreat Paper Collection.  Add Prills to the centers of the flowers and adhere as seen in the photo.
  • Tie bows and adhere in the corners.

Tea Time Shaker Card: A Peek Inside

A box pocket and decorative panel carry this tea party inside the card.

Create a little treat wallet by scoring and folding the gingham paper from the collection.

Fill it up with lots of treats!  Now our shaker card is a gift.

Die cut the tags using the Tags Die.  Punch a hole at the top and connect with a small O ring.  Add ribbon, a cherry blossom and a sweet tea cup charm to finish the tag album.
