How to Make Cute Shaped Insect Cards (with bonus shakers)

How to Make Cute Shaped Insect Cards (with bonus shakers)

Even if you don’t like bugs you can deny how adorable these shaped cards from Carly are! She used dies to create each one of these easy card designs and will show you how to take these simple designs up a notch by adding shaker elements and how to make fun eyes for each one. Her set of three cards includes a Snail, Beehive with a Bee and an Apple with a Worm poking out. She die cut each section from pretty colored cardstocks which is one simple way to customize and change up the design of each one. For the snail and beehive she layered the dies and used the open spaces to create shakers with clear acetate, filled with shimmery confetti, for an even more exciting touch. And don’t each of these little bugs have super cute eyes? Well, she created those herself using liquid Nuvo enamel drops in white and black, how cool is that?

Visit the Pretty Pink Posh blog to watch her video tutorial.
