His and Hers Shaker Cards

a Cut at Home Design Team Project

Today I'm sharing a duo of  Shaker cards.  The one above is more feminine and created with Marianne Design Craftables Punch Star die. This is a single bar die that cuts out multiple sizes of stars and what I've used for the inside of my shaker spot.  I used Graphic 45's new collection Enchanted Forest with a 5" x 7" card base.

The second card, the one I'll make on camera, uses Marianne Design Craftables Punch Nuts and Bolts Die.  Again this is a strip die that punches out various sizes and shapes of nuts and bolts.  So fun!  I think this is a must die for anyone that makes masculine cards or projects.  It's always harder to find things with that manly flair.  For  this card I used a Kraft card base for a standard A2 sized card (4 1/4" x 5 1/2").  I used an older collection from Heartfelt Creations, All Geared Up, for this card. The paper is no longer available in the store but any masculine themed paper line would work.  Check out Tim Holtz idea-ology papers they have that grungy manly feel to them.

Come join me on the video, we'll do the masculine card together and then I'll have more photos of the feminine card to give you a taste of what these dies can do.  Presently there are seven of these punch dies available in the Cut at Home store so be sure to check them out to see which ones you should add to your crafty stash.
