SO PRETTY! I love everything about this card - the sequin colors, the beautiful gold embossing and the ombre watercolor heart cut with the pattern on a diagonal. Beautimous!
I LOVE THIS! I am going to try this for my mother's birthday card. She requested a "snow globe type of card." Her birthday is in April. She means shaker :) Thanks so much for your wonderful ideas and beautiful art. You got me through 40+ handmade Christmas cards this year!
Gorgeous!! I literally just finished making a shaker card similar to this with my Fuse tool when your video popped up. Too funny! Love the gold embossing, TFS!
Do you find the We R Memory keepers fuse tool seals all the edges well? Can you use photo sleeves from a craft store or need their specific ones? Thank you
Deborah Anne Hi! In my personal creating I have not had a problem with the edges unsealing as long as I let my fuse to heat up long enough and I properly run it along the sides. I have had issues with extra fine glitter finding its way out, but otherwise regular glitter, sequins, and beads are fine. I've also just been using some generic 12x12 page protectors that were given to me, so no specific brand is needed, just some plastic that you can fuse together!
Love this card design!! You make using the fuse tool look so easy, and your lines look so even!!! I've been practicing and using it on my own projects, but I'm still working on the right speed (I still have some skipping, and large holes in the stitched pattern of my lines.
This card is beautiful and I love the colors! However where do you write upon it? Or do you/did you enclose it with a note? And you use regular page protectors-pretty neat!
I adore this and would love to make one similar to it but I don't have a fuse tool. Is there any other way to seal edges in a similar fashion that you're aware of?
Since you love making cards so much have you ever considered mailing some to soldiers, veterans, or children in hospitals? I'm sure they'd love to get beautiful cards as well
How do you remove the powder from the acetate after embossing? I tried with a dry paper towel and it didn't work and when I used a wet one it took off the shimmer from the embossing and ruined the card completely
Jelita Andini are you from Indonesia? 🇲🇨 and to answer your question, try something like a device to melt plastic packagings that's usually for food/snack vendors. I just have that idea tho, not sure if it would work 😂
I have seen mixed reviews of the fuse tool. Does it really seal well as I am worried about losing smaller glitter and beads out of holes at the side. thanks!
+Sally Cain....I have one of these fuse tools....and while I haven't used it a lot...it does work fine. I think a key thing is making sure you put the right amount of pressure...for the right amount of time. And then just shake your shaker piece to make sure nothing is coming out before you finish your card. I've done some practice pieces...and I've had no trouble with them. Hope this helps. Happy paper-crafting! ☺
It does take some practice and don't use the channel in the ruler just use the edge. I have used coarse glitter without it coming out but it tends to "stick" to the plastic because of the static.
Works great, just takes some practice. I've used micro beads and glitter just fine. I wipe the inside of the pocket with an old dryer sheet, using my bone folder or a pen to get it into smaller pockets if needed. Helps cut down the static :-)
Anne-Marie Stevenson you can use anti static powder inside the page protector you're going to use, to get rid of the stickiness of glitter and sequence
