I’ll be sharing lots more soon but today I’ve got a sparkly autumn shaker using the adorable Happy Fall and Fall Greetings sets from Cassie Loizeaux!
You guys…that mouse! I adore him!! I kinda feel like he’s my spirit animal! Ha! So to start I stamped him, his mug, and the banner onto white cardstock with no-line ink using my MISTI. Then I colored them with polychromos colored pencils! I kept the shading simple because I knew there’d be a lot going on with the other elements of the card! Once I was finished coloring I placed the panel back inside my MISTI, re-stamped the images with versamark and heat-embossed them with gold tinsel embossing powder before die-cutting them with the coordinating dies!
Next I die-cut a panel of white cardstock with the Stitched Layers dies. I blended distress oxide inks in Wild Honey, Candied Apple, and Gathered Twigs onto the smaller panel. I splattered that panel with water and added a few heat-embossed leaves from Happy Fall! Then I lined the two panels up on another A2 panel and used the outer panel as a guide for adhering my inner panel to the A2 panel. Next I applied acetate behind the outer panel and added a double layer of foam mounting tape. I filled the shaker with a mixture of seed beads, sequins, and confetti in autumnal colors with pops of metallic gold! Then I placed the A2 panel over the acetate panel and sealed the shaker! Finally I just added my banner, mouse, and his mug to finish the card!!
And that’s it! I hope my card inspired you today and I’d love to know your favorite products from the October release!! 😉

I love the autumn colors on your shaker card!
What a beautiful shaker card! I love how you colored the images and then heat embossed them in gold. 🙂 The Peony Bouquet Combo is one of my favorites from this release.
The happy fall is my favorite bundle. It is really cute. The thankful mouse is pretty cute too.
Very cute card. I love the fall banner.
Gorgeous card! Adore the cute mouse and the shaker element looks so festive!
I already love that sweet mouse image but then you go and turn it into a shaker card…oh my goodness!
Cute mouse and love the fall shaker.
Hey Jess! I just loved the way you said you think the mouse is your spirit animal, it is an indicator of how much you would have loved creating the card ss much we love seeing it. The idea of gold heat embossing the elements of the card adds so much glitter and bling. This completely complements the gold shaker elements against the so perfectly blended background.. Definitely a great inspiration.. Thank you so much for sharing ❤️❤️
Beautiful card. Love the gold embossing! My favourite set is the NiHao one – would love to see your ideas for it!
I love shaker cards and this one is gorgeous! The mouse is super cute.
The gold makes the reds and oranges stand out so well. Perfect for the subject.
