Shaker Card Using 
Grafix Shrink Plastic 
Are you ready to create some fun Shaker Card? 
Yes? Then this fun and artistic tutorial from the 
12x12 cardstock shop is what you need. Create a 
magical shaker card using Grafix Shrink Plastic. 
Go through this information that we have shared 
with you. In the end, you will be able to create 
yourself a fabulous shaker card using Grafix 
Shrink Plastic.
But first, here's a tip I learned years 
ago to help with the shrinkage.  
Take a one inch strip of your shrink 
plastic and use an alcohol marker 
(or Sharpie) and make your own 
ruler.  Then SHRINK that ruler.  Now 
you will know exactly the size of 
your shrunken image. 
Looking at the teapot stamp, it is 1 
1/2 inches in real life, but will be less 
than 3/4 inches when shrunken.  
Just store your shrink plastic ruler 
with your sheets of shrink plastic for 
future use.  
Things You Need
• Grafix Shrink Film American
• Crafts Lagoon Blue 
• Dear Lizzy Just Smile Patterned Paper
• Clear Acetate
• Stazon Ink 
• Alcohol Markers
• Stamp set
Now, onto the card. I used Stazon 
ink to stamp my teapot image onto 
the white Shrink Plastic.  VERY 
CAREFULLY use alcohol markers 
to color the teapot. 
Two Important Tips to 
Remember
• The colors you choose will be more intense when 
shrunken, so choose lighter colors than you think 
you need.
• Do NOT color over the Stazon ink.  Alcohol ink 
will smear the Stazon.  I found it best to dab my 
alcohol marker around the stamped lines.  The 
surface of the shrink plastic is slick so dabbing or 
dotting the image with color seems to work best. 
Now, cut and shrink your teapots using a 
heat gun (the same kind you may use for 
embossing powder). Heat until flat and fully 
shrunken. The shrink plastic shrivels as it 
shrinks, but don't worry. As it reaches the 
final stages of shrinking, it flattens back 
out.  If there are slight curls, you can press 
down on it with a heavy object for a few 
seconds while it is still warm
