Hello and welcome to the Stamp ‘N Hop Blog Hop where we are sharing Shaker cards. I have used the gorgeous Thoughtful Expressions stamp set and dies to make my pretty hummingbird shaker card.
Colours used in this card are:
To recreate the hummingbird shaker card, you will need:
Pebbled Path card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Pool Party card – 5⅝” by 3⅞”
Basic White card – 5¼” by 3½”
Softly Stippled dsp – 5½” by 3¾”
Window sheet – 3⅞” by 3⅞” – I used a cut down Clear Envelope as I couldn’t find my Window Sheet
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside
Scrap Basic White card
Using a die from the Thoughtful Expressions I cut out a shape from the Softly Stippled dsp. From scrap Basic White card. I taped the same die to the next size up and die cut a frame from scrap Basic White card. The frame was glued to the front of the Softly Stippled dsp using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

The dsp was laid over the 5¼” by 3½” panel of Basic White card and the sentiment, from the Everyday Details stamp set, was stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto the Basic White panel, using the die cut panel to get the positioning right.

Using Tear & Tape Adhesive I adhered my square of cut down Clear Envelope to the back of the Softly Stippled dsp behind the die cut shape. I suggest you use Window Sheet……… I couldn’t find mine!

Dimensional Strips were adhered around the negative window on the back of the dsp panel. I also added strips of Adhesive around the edges of the panel to raise it up. The Dimensional strips are slightly higher then our ordinary Dimensionals.

I rubbed my Embossing Buddy over the stamped Basic White panel to remove static and added a pinch of Loose Silver Sequins over the sentiment. I also added a few aqua coloured sequins from my stash. The panel of dsp was then carefully added over the Basic White panel. I pressed firmly to make sure it was well stuck down.
The whole piece was then glued to the Pool Party layer and then to the Pebbled Path card base.
I stamped the hummingbird and single flower in Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto scrap Basic White card and coloured both images using the following Blends Pens – Lemon Lolly, Pool Party, Smoky Slate and Pebbled Path. I die cut them out using the Thoughtful Expressions Dies.

The hummingbird was added to the card front using Mini Glue Dots. I added loops of Pool Party Baker’s Twine to the back of the flower, securing it in place with Tear & Tape. The flower was then added to the card front with Mini Glue Dots.
A trio of Adhesive Backed Solid Gems completed the card.
Please hop along as I am sure my crafty friends have lots of shaker cards to give you inspiration.
