Shaker Stars to brighten your day

Good morning 

Have you seen the new goodies that are at Paper Rose??

Lots of little bags of pretties for shaker cards. Yippee!!

So if you're wondering how to make a shaker card, they 

are actually quite simple to do.

You need to die cut out 4 or 5 of the same piece. I have used 

the new 18581 Striped Coverplate Pieced die. 

Glue together three of these coverplates. Then using tape, tape 

some strong plastic or acetate down on top of the third 

coverplate. You then tape down the final die cut coverplate 

on top of the plastic or acetate making sure it all 

matches up and you don't see any tape.

Turn the die cut over and sprinkle with 18915 Pastel Stars Shaker Mix. You don't need a lot because if it is too full they 

won't be able to move about easily. Tape the edge of the die 

cut coverplate and place your card on top pushing down firmly 

so that it seals well and you don't have any stars escaping.

I have then added some matching flowers to the card and a 

sentiment. For the sentiment I have stamped onto velum 

using 18825 Berry ink and a sentiment from the 

18490 Daisy Days stamp set.
