Hello and welcome. I’m Gaylynn, and I’m happy to share my card project here on the Unity blog. It is a birthday cupcake shaker card in red and teal. It was super fun to create this interactive card. I used Copic marker coloring and ink blending. Then, I made a shaker frame to hold sparkling confetti.
This handmade greeting card is sure to bring smiles. The supplies are linked below.
Sentiment: Make a wish. Happy Birthday!

Trim or die-cut a white rectangle 4″ x 5 1/4″.

Onto the trimmed white panel, stamp the cupcakes and the sentiment in Copic-friendly black ink.

Color the cupcake panel with your favorite markers. I used Copic markers.
-
Add light teal ink blending around the stamped panel edges.

Optional: Add a heart accent with the sentiment.
-
Make a shaker layer by adhering an acetate layer behind the red panel of the same size.
-
Add narrow foam tape behind the acetate along the edges.
-
Sprinkle small confetti in the center of the stamped panel.

Layer and adhere the acetate frame panel over the stamped panel.

Adhere the shaker element to the card base with extra tacky double-sided tape.
