Leading Lady Lyndal Higgins | Take Three


We are profoundly privileged to present to you Lyndal Higgins for her triumphant return as Leading Lady.  If you have not had the fortune of seeing her previous turns CLICK HERE for her first performance and CLICK HERE for her second. Now the moment you've been waiting for.... 


Hi there again Winnie and Walter friends and fans, it's that time again! It is an honour to bring you the next installment of Winnie and Walter Leading Lady inspiration. I hope you have been enjoying it so far, I know I have!

Wherever you are in the world, September sees you entering a new season, whether it be Spring, Autumn or Fall! So I thought I'd shake things up a little and create a Winnie and Walter seasonal celebration with...

SEASONAL SHAKERS...
The front panels for each of the shaker cards are created using Winnie and Walter cut files - Winter, Spring and Summer The Big, The Bold and the Seasons, and Autumn A Tree for all Seasons.

To create a shaker card you will also need:

  • Fabulous Winnie and Walter stamps
  • White cardstock for front panel and card base
  • Clear acetate sheet from your local office supply store
  • Foam sheet from your local craft store
  • Patterned paper (or be brave and make your own!)
  • (Lots) of double-sided tape!
  • Sequins
  • Circle die

Shaker cards are fun to make, but they can be tricky to photograph!


First up, "Winter Wishes"... 
Layer 1: White cardstock cut using this gorgeous snowflake cut file from Winnie and Walter The Big, The Bold and the Seasons, and stamped in Soft Pool and Pool inks with Winnie and Walter The Big, The Bold and the Seasons sentiment. The cardstock is adhered with double-sided tape to...
Layer 2: a sheet of clear acetate, cut to the same size as the white cardstock front, then adhered using double-sided tape to...
Layer 3: a foam rectangle the same size as the white cardstock front, with a circle die-cut piece removed and the remaining "void" filled with a combination of silver snowflake sequins and some special "thank you" sequins from my last Winnie & Walter order, then sealed with double-sided tape to...
Layer 4: the patterned paper background panel, then adhered using double-sided tape to...
Layer 5: the card base.

Next up "Spring Flowers"...
Featuring this cute flower cute file from Winnie and Walter The Big, The Bold and the Seasons, and stamped in Pear Tart and Angel Pink Momento Luxe inks with Winnie and Walter The Big, The Bold and the Seasons sentiment, and filled with sequins.

Next up "Celebrate Sun / Summer"
Featuring this fun sun cut file from Winnie and Walter The Big, The Bold and the Seasons, and stamped in Dandelion and Rose Bud Momento Luxe inks with Winnie and Walter The Big, The Bold and the Seasons sentiment (highlighting "sun" in yellow ink), and filled with sequins.

And last but not least "Autumn Bliss"...
Featuring this fabulous leaf cut file from Winnie and Walter A Tree for all Seasons, and stamped in Lilac Posies and Morocco Momento Luxe inks with Winnie and Walter The Big, The Bold and the Seasons sentiment, and filled with sequins and glass beads and the background panel created using Luminarte paints on watercolour paper.


I hope you are inspired to try and create your own shaker card - no matter the season!

Once again, a HUGE thanks to Shay and Julie for their generosity, and for this fabulous opportunity!

  8. BEAUTIFUL set of seasons shakers Lyndal!!!
    LOVE your CLEVER windows and FUN shakers!!!
    THANK YOU for sharing your CREATIVE INSPIRATION and your tutorial on how to create them. I am new to the world of die cutting (I have a Big Shot) and look forward to getting adventurous, even creating some shakers :) Your top tip for using a foam layer is going to make things so much easier, no messing around with bits of adhesive foam strips / dots - very cool :)

    1. The added bonus with your clever shaker technique is that you still have the main shape "left over" to use for another project - WTG Lyndal!!!
