So Tiny, So Loved – A Green Baby Shaker Card | Kat Scrappiness / Blog

Hello my lovely crafty friends!

Today I’m happy to share this shaker card I made for the Kat Scrappiness blog. This time I created a baby card in green tones, featuring one of the Essential Card Builder Dies and one of the adorable Woodland Critters — the squirrel. Isn’t he just the cutest?

For this Baby shaker card I also used the Love is in the Air stencil, the Stitched Nesting Hexagon Dies, a sweet sentiment from the Hello Sweet Baby stamp set, and a beautiful sequin mix.

I always enjoy trying different card layouts, but with a good shaker card you never go wrong. I always love making them and I surely hope you will like it too.

So let’s dive in and I’ll guide you through all the details to recreate this card.

Step-by-Step Card Tutorial

I started by stenciling the hearts from the Love is in the Air Stencil onto the white cardstock using two shades of green ink. After that, I outlined the hearts with a black fineliner for a playful look.

Next, I die cut the panel using the Essential Card Builder Dies. Pay attention to how you place the dies, so the hearts stay aligned nicely when assembling the card.

I adhered the light green frame onto the dark green background and then placed the smaller pieces back into their correct positions.

For the shaker panel, I adhered the second light green frame onto the acetate using strong double-sided tape. Then I added foam tape to the back, including a few extra pieces in the center for stability.

Before assembling the shaker, I used an anti-static powder tool on the acetate and foam tape edges. This helps prevent the sequins from sticking.

After cleaning the acetate, I added the Lime Fairydust Sequin mix to the background and closed the shaker panel. Since it’s a baby card, I kept the shaker mix light and subtle.

Focal Point & Sentiment

I stamped the squirrel from the Woodland Critters Stampset onto the white hexagon, heat embossed it with clear embossing powder, and colored it with alcohol markers. I ink blended the edges for extra depth.

The sentiment was stamped onto dark green cardstock using VersaMark ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder.

Tip: Always use an anti-static tool before heat embossing — it really makes a difference!

I adhered the white hexagon slightly turned on top of the dark green hexagon and placed it in the center of the card.

Finishing Touches

I placed the shaker panel onto the card base and added the sentiment with foam tape so it sits nicely leveled with the shaker.

To finish the card, I added a few small stars and hearts from the sequin mix for extra detail.

Final Thoughts

This card was so much fun to make — you know I love a good shaker card!

With the green tones, I wanted to create a baby card that feels just a little bit more “playful and bold” compared to softer pastel designs.

I hope I’ve inspired you to create a baby card with a different twist!
