Anniversary Shaker Card

Hello!  I wanted to share a pretty shaker card I created using the Golden Garden (although I used the silver side) Designer Specialty Acetate along with a pattern from the Fine Art Floral Designer Series Paper.  Both of these products are retiring after today so I’m getting this card in just under the wire!

It’s been a while since I created a shaker card and my daughter, Elizabeth and her husband, James will be celebrating their 4th anniversary in early July. So I thought this would be a nice card to give them.  

Materials & Measurements

• Petal Pink card base:  8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″, scored at 4 1/4″
• Fine Art Floral DSP pattern:  3 3/4″ x 5″
• Petal Pink card stock: 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″
• Golden Garden Acetate pattern: 5 1/4″ x 4″
• Basic White card stock for the sentiment

Details

• Glue the DSP panel to the center of the card base.
• Create a frame with the Petal Pink card stock.  I used a rectangle frame die from My Favorite Things but you could create one with the Stitched Rectangle dies.
• Emboss the frame using the Parisian Flourish embossing folder.
• Create the shaker window by gluing the acetate to the back of the frame.
• Add Foam Adhesive strips around the frame.
• Sprinkle sequins onto the center of the DSP panel.
• Adhere the framed window being sure to line it up so it covers the DSP pattern.
• SHAKE!

• The sentiment, from the Forever Fern stamp set, is stamped in Versa Mark ink and heat embossed with silver embossing powder.
• It’s cut using a stitched rectangle die from the Ornate Layers dies.

I was happy to finally get to use the Golden Garden Acetate on a card before it retires. It’s especially pretty over the sparkly sequins. 

The January – June Mini Catalog retires today.  Some of the products from this catalog are even discounted.  Click HERE to see the list.

Thanks for stopping by today. I hope your week is going well.

Take care,

Rosanne
