MFT July Hits & Highlights

Beginning this month, we are highlighting some of our favorite products in our new 

Hits & Highlights Challenge. Each month we will feature a product, or a collection of 

products, for you to explore. We can't wait to see all the creative ways you use them!

This month it's all about shakers! Whether you’re a master or a novice at crafting
shaker cards, our range of shaker pouches makes it fast and easy to add a variety of
shaped shaker elements to your cards and projects.

I chose to work with the Star Shaker Window and Frame and the Star Pouches
for a super simple shaker card. I love that the shaker pouches are thick enough
to hold a good amount of shaker contents but thin enough that there's no
added bulk to your card.

A watercolor panel was ink distressed with Distress Oxide inks and spattered
with water, then cut with the rectangle element from Blueprints 24. A star
was cut from the inked panel and the Star Frame from Stone Gray card stock.

The new Mermaid Mix Sequins matched perfectly with my inked panel. I added
a few inside of the pouch and assembled and adhered everything to a Stone
Gray card base. The stamped sentiment and sequins finished off the card.

If you've never made a shaker card, now's the time to give it a try with MFT's
shaped shaker pouches. They'll make your life so much easier and shaker cards
are always fun for a recipient of any age!
