Jennifer Snyder here to share some whimsical Halloween shaker fun. I created two shaker cards using the darling shaker chipboard sets from Creative Embellishments.
Here are the chipboard shaker sets used in today’s featured cards: Creative Embellishments – Boo Shaker and Creative Embellishments – Gnome Shaker.
Here is the first card. How adorable is this gnome shaker set! The fabulous little gnome can be decorated for any occasion.
I did alter the shaker set a bit to make the beard dimensional and not part of the shaker. I also opted to adjust the top shaker layer to accommodate the dimensional beard. Scroll down and I’ll show you what I did.
Below is an image of how I finished the beard using some molding /texture paste applied thickly. I actually used Aleene’s True Snow Paste for the beard because it has a hint of glitter. My photo image didn’t pick up the little glitter flecks, but in person, there is a delicate touch of shimmer in the Halloween gnome’s beard. He’s quite fetching.
And white opaque paste will work; molding paste, texture paste, etc.
After the snowy white beard dried, I assembled the shaker. I did not want the beard included as part of the shaker so I cut the top layer apart. I needed to cover the nose and cheeks – so I had to bend and shape to fit, but it worked out well. I was happy.
Happy Crafting.
