Creating A Birthday Shaker + Video

Hi everyone it’s Ardyth and today is my very first time on the Pretty Pink Posh blog and YouTube channel! I have a video tutorial to share using the new Pinata Party set.

Watch the video above   I  Watch the video in HD on YouTube

I used the Pinata Party set to make a fun shaker card with a special feature! The Pinata is hanging on some twine, so he can swing inside the shaker among all the fun jewels and sequins!

I started by stamping the background – I used one the Let’s Party sentiments from the set and created a grid by stamping it, turning the stamp and then stamping again. I added some colourful stamped confetti to the background, so that when all the jewels and sequins settle, there are still bright happy colours all over the card!

I built my shaker frame with 6 layers of the large Scallop Square die cut. This seemed to work fine, but I still think that next time, I’ll use 7 to give my shaker fillers a bit more room. I put acetate behind the top layer of the shaker frame, and I glued the silver twine to the second layer of the frame, so that the pinata could swing from that. I used some anti-static powder on the acetate so he could swing freely without getting stuck on the acetate.

Then I used some of the new Party Mix jewels and Sparkling Clear Confetti Mix as my shaker filler. I stamped another sentiment and some confetti on the inside of the card as well. I love how it looks like the pinata has already exploded, and the party is ready to start!

Thank you so much for stopping by today, I hope you enjoyed the card and video.
