Shake Shake Shake!



I don't know about you, but I LOVE shaker cards.  I just think they are so fun and I don't create them nearly enough.  Today I have a baby card shaker to share with you.  I used the Welcome, Little One Die from Taylored Expressions to create the shaker element.



I started by diecutting Welcome Little One twice. . .once from Salt Water Taffy and once from Potato Chip cardstock.  I cut out the letter portions and adhered it over the Salt Water Taffy to created a two-colored image.  Next I added the acetate and foam tape.  I die cut some Little Bits - Baby Confetti to add to the shaker and then added some Build a Scene Sequins.

Once I was happy with the filling of the shaker, I peeled off the backing of the foam tape and added the back panel.


I embossed a white panel with the Lots of Dots Embossing Folder and attached that to the card front.  Next I adhered my shaker panel to the card.  As a finishing touch, I die cut the Little Bits - Buggy and added that to the corner as well as some sequins on the outside of the shaker.  

I loved creating this fun baby shaker card.  I hope you've been inspired to create a shaker card of your own!!  Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!

If you've come from visiting Betty you're in the right place!!  For my card, I used the Rise Above set along with the coordinating Partly Cloudy Die Set.  Instead of using the image as a sun, I decided to create a happy flower that went with the colors in the inspiration photo.  The center circle of the flower was die cut using the Springtime Stitches Die Set.  Next on today's hop is Christyne!!
