What do I need to make shaker cards? Any tips?

[pootlepod]

I have the sticky foam bits, aperture cards and 'bits'. Where can I get acetate from? Do I need to use 1 bit of acetate or 2? I have seen a few cards where you can make the shaker window too, a bit like a topper.

don't forget to show your efforts.

Ok I tried... 3 times and i wasn't very happy!

The second attempt with the gel was better, made a smaller pocket and only used a small amount of gel, i.e. not enough to fill the pocket completly and this was more effective. Also found that the gel 'killed' the glue on the foam bits. I would probably pay for ready made acetate pockets in the shops, so if anyone wants to make their first million, fell free...

Think I will try some cards with aperture pockets and then move onto the gel when I've mastered that bit.

maybe it's just the luck of the draw with the ge/glue...some won't work togther. the gel i have is a big pot from asda, cost about 80p. my frame think is about 2 inch square and i put one small teaspoon of gel in
