Winnie & Walter Leading Lady - Week 3, Seasonal Shakers

Hi there Winnie and Walter friends and fans, it's that time again! It is an honour to bring you the next installment of Winnie and Walter Leading Lady inspiration. I hope you have been enjoying it so far, I know I have!

Remember to leave a comment on this post, or any of the Winnie and Walter Leading Lady posts on my blog throughout September for your chance to WIN a $30 gift card for Winnie and Walter, just for leaving a comment!

Wherever you are in the world, September sees you entering a new season, whether it be Spring, Autumn or Fall! So I thought I'd shake things up a little and create a Winnie and Walter seasonal celebration with...

SEASONAL SHAKERS...
The front panels for each of the shaker cards are created using Winnie and Walter cut files - Winter, Spring and Summer The Big, The Bold and the Seasons, and Autumn A Tree for all Seasons.

To create a shaker card you will also need:
  • Fabulous Winnie and Walter stamps
  • White cardstock for front panel and card base
  • Sequins
  • Clear acetate sheet from your local office supply store
  • Foam sheet from your local craft store
  • Circle die (to cut the foam layer)
  • Patterned paper (or be brave and make your own!)
  • (Lots) of double-sided tape!
Shaker cards are fun to make, but they can be tricky to photograph!


First up, "Winter Wishes"... 
Layer 1: White cardstock cut using this gorgeous snowflake cut file from Winnie and Walter The Big, The Bold and the Seasons, and stamped in Soft Pool and Pool inks with Winnie and Walter The Big, The Bold and the Seasons sentiment. The cardstock is adhered with double-sided tape to...
Layer 2: a sheet of clear acetate, cut to the same size as the white cardstock front, then adhered using double-sided tape to...


Layer 3: a foam rectangle the same size as the white cardstock front, with a circle die-cut piece removed and the remaining "void" filled with a combination of silver snowflake sequins and some special "thank you" sequins from my last Winnie and Walter order, then sealed with double-sided tape to...
Layer 4: the Kaisercraft patterned paper background panel, then adhered using double-sided tape to...
Layer 5: the card base.

Next up "Spring Flowers"...
Featuring this cute flower cute file from Winnie and Walter The Big, The Bold and the Seasons, and stamped in Pear Tart and Angel Pink Momento Luxe inks with Winnie and Walter The Big, The Bold and the Seasons sentiment, filled with Verve Pastel sequins, with Fancy Pants patterned paper.

Next up "Celebrate Sun / Summer"
Featuring this fun sun cut file from Winnie and Walter The Big, The Bold and the Seasons, and stamped in Dandelion and Rose Bud Momento Luxe inks with Winnie and Walter The Big, The Bold and the Seasons sentiment (highlighting "sun" in yellow ink), filled with Neat and Tangled Pink Lemonade and Gold sequins, with Echo Park patterned paper.

And last but not least "Autumn Bliss"...
Featuring this fabulous leaf cut file from Winnie and Walter A Tree for all Seasons, and stamped in Lilac Posies and Morocco Momento Luxe inks with Winnie and Walter The Big, The Bold and the Seasons sentiment, and filled with Neat & Tangled Festive Fall sequins and gold glass beads from my stash, with the background panel created using Luminarte paints on watercolour paper.
"Autumn Bliss" card playing along with 


I hope you are inspired to try and create your own shaker card - whatever the reason and no matter the season!

Once again, a HUGE thanks to Shay and Julie for their generosity, and for this fabulous opportunity and to to Jenny for being my Silhouette saviour!

  18. Just...WOW! What a great, simple (altho tricky to execute, as you show in detail) design. LOVE the multi-coloured sentiments, seasonal mixtures of sequins, and the whole "wherever you are in the world" theme. You are the leading-est of the ladies!

  28. You already know how much I love these shakers, Lyndal! There's one big problem here, however ... you'd never be able to give one away! You'd have to give the whole set to someone at once, I'd think, to prevent breaking them up. Such a predicament!!

  34. BEAUTIFUL set of seasons shakers Lyndal - LOVE your CLEVER windows and FUN shakers!!!
    THANK YOU for sharing your CREATIVE INSPIRATION and your tutorial on how to create them. I am new to the world of die cutting (I have a Big Shot) and look forward to getting adventurous, even creating some shakers :) Your top tip for using a foam layer is going to make things so much easier, no messing around with bits of adhesive foam strips / dots - very cool :)
    The added bonus with your clever shaker technique is that you still have the main shape "left over" to use for another project - WTG!!!
    PS - sorry if my comment appears twice - I visited last week but can't see my comment, so I think I must have done something wrong when I submitted it => 2nd time lucky :)
