I love you so much! – Shaker Card

Hi, everyone!  Kelli here today with a fun shaker card to share with you!  When I first saw the Mama Elephant – Love Quotes stamp set and the matching Love Quotes die set I knew I wanted to make a shaker card with them.

The little bird, the speech bubble, hearts, and the sentiment in the speech bubble are all stamped using the Love Quotes stamp set.  The speech bubble cutout and the bird were die cut using the Love Quotes die set.

The little bird was stamped in Memento – Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Copics:
RV14, RV13, RV11
C3, C1, C0
Y35

To get the shaker portion of the card made, I first die cut the speech bubble from some woodgrain kraft card stock.  Then I adhered a clear window sheet on the back side of the kraft card stock behind the bubble.  To make room for the sequins I was going to put in I needed extra height so I put two layers of dimensional adhesive all over the back of the kraft piece making sure that I created a closed in area around the speech bubble.  Then I stamped my sentiment, speech bubble, and hearts onto some patterned paper and carefully placed the sequins over what I stamped.  I took the kraft sheet and lined it up perfectly over the stamped piece with the sequins and adhered them together.  That trapped the sequins between the two layers and made the shaker part of the card!

Most of the patterned paper is from the Doodlebug – Kraft in Color 6×6 paper pad.  The clouds are from the Lawn Fawn – Hello Sunshine 6×6 paper pad.  To adhere the layers together I used dimensional adhesive and Crafter’s Companion – Adhesive Runner.

The colors of sequins that I used inside the shaker and on the front of the card are the Pretty Pink Posh – Sweetheart Mix, Metallic Gold, and Clear 4mm.  I adhered the sequins on the front of the card with some Glossy Accents.

To finish everything off I added some dashed white gel pen lines around the top layer and some Spica Glitter Pen in Clear to the pink part of the bird.

Thanks so much for stopping by.  Have a great day!  🙂
