Life is Better with you in it (Shaker Card)

Good Morning Friends….

Instructions: The ready top-fold card from white cardstock measures, 8″ by 5 1/2″ and the first matted layer on the card is from the designer paper collection which measures, 5″ by 7 1/2′. Cut a strip, measuring 1 1/2″ by 5″ of a purple paper from the paper collection and mat it on the right side of the card panel as shown.

For the next layer, choose a paper from the paper collection and cut it measuring 5 3/4″ by 4″ and layer it on a white cardstock, making 1/8″ border on all the four sides. Use a double-sided tape and layer it on Eyelet Lace Frames die cut which is cut from a golden metallic paper

For Shaker, cut 6-7 pieces of frames from white cardstock and one frame from peach color pattern paper by stacking larger 2 banner dies from Arrows and Banner Die Set. Glue and stack all the white die cut frames together and colored frame with acetate sheet and keep them aside. Also cut a piece of patterned paper with flower and one piece of acetate to create window front, using outer banner die. On the base of the shaker, stamp a sentiment from Oakberry Cottage & Sentiments Cling Stamp Set using Red Geranium Archival ink. Stamp and cut leaves from Woodsy Landscape stamp and die set and color them using Zig Markers. Attach the stacked frame to the base as shown, glue the painted leaves and fill the window with sequence and close the shaker using acetate top.

For embellishing the card, stamp the images from Oakberry Cottage & Sentiments Cling Stamp Set and Oakberry Lane Antics Cling Stamp Set with black and cut them using their coordinating dies. Color all the images with Zig Clean Clear Markers. All the walnuts are layered and shaped by adding an extra layer and shaped using Deluxe Flower Shaping Kit. Extra die cut layers are added to the squirrels for extra support. For filler flowers, white heat emboss few Lilacs from Lush Lilac Collection, color them using distress oxide ink, shape them a little with hands and add glitter balls to the center.
Cut a printed flower cluster from the same paper collection and add it as an extra accent between the card layers, Once all the elements are ready, assemble the card as shown.
