Laura Rumble - Crafter

The reaction to my shaker cassette has been amazing, thank you so much! As promised here is a downloadable .png and a tutorial so you can make your own... My sequins are, of course, from SpiegelMom Scraps - if you use Laura15 at checkout you'll receive a 15% discount. In terms of the rest of the materials use the cardstock you are most comfortable with and some acetate.  For this I prefer a sheet of acetate rather than some recycled packaging for the greater strength it gives. The tutorial section of the video starts at 1.44 - it's best to watch but I will briefly cover the steps here... 1. Cut out your pieces from coloured cardstock and acetate.  You will also need double sided foam adhesive, wet glue, tape runner and sequins. 2. Adhere the front of the cassette and the first piece of acetate with wet glue. 3. Add thin strips of double sided foam tape around the edge.  This will hold the sequins in so don't leave any gaps! 4. Use the central off

Remember these cheeky chappies? I was a fan... but not of Let's Get Ready To Rumble!  It was a lyric that was shouted at my frequently!! I've put my shaker cassette to good use. And kept the rest of the layout clean and simple. Sequins and Shimmerz Paste-eez (used in the background) from SpiegelMom Scraps !

I think my first cassette tape was a Cliff Richards album.  I'm pretty sure my second was East 17.  When SpiegelMom Scraps decided that the June theme for all DT projects should be 80's/90's I immediately thought of cassettes. I fiddled around in Silhouette Studio and made the components for a cassette shaker. It was fairly easy to cut the relevant pieces from the relevant material.  One collated I decided on Neon Summer as my sequin filling.  Later on I thought it needed a little more blue so added some Not Quite Navy.   The area for the double sided tape is rather skinny so I cut some tape in to three strips.  My top tip for cutting double sided tape is to add the backing from an already used piece to the uncovered sticky side.  This way you can cut away without getting your blades stuck together! And there you have it... a 90's casette full of sequins! I hope this makes it to a layout soon... stay tuned!
