How YOU can make a LIQUID SHAKER Card! | Crafting with Debbie LIVE

Who doesn’t love shakers?  In this week’s LiveStream, we made  a LIQUID shaker card using HAND SANITIZER!

How COOL is that! If you want to craft along with me in the video, here’s what are the basic supplies that you’ll need:

• ziplock bag
  * Hand sanitizer, dish soap, or liquid hand cleaner (translucent)
  * dies, or a way to cut a window in your paper and cardstock
  * craft foam or foam tape

   

• strong double-sided adhesive (ie. scor-tape)
  * tape (scotch tape, washi, whatever)
  * card base
  * embellishments (whatever you want to decorate your card with… I’m stamping and coloring a cute mermaid)

  Before the video, I did a bit of research and had to try out one of the ways to do this.  And I pulled out one of my mermaid stamps.  This card turned out so cute, and I discovered a couple of things that I wanted to change about the process.

I had used the “glitter hearts” from Target that I’ve been using on a lot of projects over the last several months.  And I think this wasn’t the best idea.

1. The pointy end is a little sharp.  Not alot, but it might cause issues.  None of them poked through the plastic, but I think it could  happen.
2. Test out the reactions that your materials will have with each other.  I used a clear hand sanitizer, and the hearts “bled” into it.  Since there is alcohol in the gel, I’m pretty sure that alcohol ink was used to color the hearts in manufacturing.

Use less liquid medium than you think you need. Since the ziplock is wrapped around the back panel, all of the gel is squished into the center. I thought I didn’t have enough and added a little more (to get the glitter to mix) and it was probably too much. 

I also used a double layer of foam tape to give enough space for the shaker… I think a triple layer, or thicker foam, would work better.

One last thing I’ll try out on a future card is using some acetate or transparency film behind the window and in front of the ziplock.  It would give a bit more protection, but… it may not be as fun to touch!  You’ll have to try this kind of card and see for yourself.  

I hope that you enjoy the video as much as I enjoyed making this adorable shaker.  I’d love to hear what you think, so be sure to like the post and add a comment down below.  I read all of them and respond as often as I can.
