Perfume Bottle Shaker Card

Want a special idea for that special mom in your life? Or maybe a big birthday is coming up for a friend? Hi, I’m Maureen (A Little Mo’ Crafty) and I recently made a card to celebrate my daughter’s milestone birthday. In true diva fashion, I created a perfume bottle shaker card with the glamorous CutCardStock papers! Follow along below to see how to make one.

Build the Perfume Bottle Shaker

First, start with a rectangle cut in Stardream Metallic Pluto White. Make sure the cut you use has nested dies to go with it. Cut one folded card in Classic Crest Solar White in the same dimensions.

Next use the rectangle die and one shape smaller and cut approximately four or five frames in Classic Crest Double Thick Solar White. I like to use this weight because it’s thicker and will make a nice cavity for the shaker bits, and you don’t have to cut any foam.

Glue those frames together, then glue it onto the white rectangle. Additionally, dust the edges with a dryer sheet to remove static cling. Fill the cavity with assorted sequins or beads in your chosen color. I like both for glitter and noise!

Now adhere a piece of acetate to the top frame, after you’ve lightly tapped it on a dryer sheet. Cut one final frame in your chosen color. I chose the Stardream Metallic Pluto White. Glue it to the top. Disregard the bottle top in the picture, we’re coming to that next.

Build the Perfume Bottle Shape

It’s time to build a perfume bottle! First, start with a top note style die cut, preferably a smaller one with a rounded top but anything that would resemble perfume bottle cap. Cut this in CCS Gold Glitter.

Next, cut another perfume bottle cap shape in Silk Glitter Black Prince and Stardream Metallic Rose Quartz and trim a few strips to adhere to the top of your CCS Gold Glitter cap. Glue this to the back of your rectangle.

Then, adhere the folded card to the back of the panel. This will cover the bottom of the perfume bottle cap, so it’s not seen from the back.

Embellish the Bottle

Now it’s time to print your sentiment on your perfume bottle shaker card. I chose NO.25 to represent a Chanel bottle because my daughter was turning 25! If this is for another event or Mother’s Day, here are some of my ideas for you:

• No. 1 Mom
• Forever Her
• Est. (birthyear)
• La Vie de Mom

As you arrange the image on your computer, make sure it fits your top note shape that you will use for the label. I used Classic Crest Solar White because it prints up so nicely on my printer! Additionally, you could add images as well, especially if you have an electronic cutting machine.

Finally, it’s time to embellish! I used the same CCS Gold Glitter frame to put around my label. I cut a bow in Stardream Metallic Rose Quartz and added a large rhinestone to the top. I am so excited about this project and want to make several in many shapes and colors.

I think if you have a need to make Mother’s Day cards, this would be the perfect one to create! It’s perfect for birthdays as well or even girlfriend gifts. What colors would you choose? No matter what, I hope you decide to check out the amazing colors at the CutCardStock website. Until next time!
