This card was a little more involved than most because of the shaker element, but I knew it would be just perfect for this card. I created the shaker portion by cutting out two circles from Whip Cream card stock and one of the same size from craft foam. (I learned this technique from Jennifer McGuire and use it a lot for making shaker cards). I used the coordinating die for the canning jar and cut it out of the center of the craft foam circle. I then glued the craft foam onto one of the Whip Cream circles and set aside. On the second Whip Cream Circle, I stamped the canning jar using Black Licorice ink. Using Fun Stampers Journey's new retractable craft knife and cutting mat, I carefully removed the center area of the stamped jar.
To the back of this piece, I cut a small piece of Clear View Sheet to cover the opening I just created. Using the small heart stamp from the set and Cranberry Bliss ink, I stamped a couple of the hearts on the back piece of Whip Cream, inside the opening of the craft foam. I then added a few Cranberry Bliss punched hearts using the Heart Punch and Confetti Sparkle Elements in both Candy Apple and Clear. Adhesive was applied to the back of the piece with the clear view sheet, and centered it on the circle base. Now you have a completed mini shaker. Set aside to dry.
Black Licorice card stock was used as the base card. I also cut a smaller circle from the same color. The coordinating printed paper was cut using the paper trimmer to cover most of the card front. I then used the Border Basics Die set and cut one scalloped edge from the same printed paper and one from Cranberry Bliss. These were then attached to the previous piece of printed paper and covered with a strip of Candy Apple tape and Licorice Sparkle Tape.
I attached the printed paper onto a mat piece of Whip Cream leaving a section of the Whip Cream exposed along the bottom. I punched out five hearts using the Heart Punch and aligned them evenly across the white section.
The sentiment was stamped using Black Licorice ink onto Whip Cream card stock and then die cut using the coordinating die. I placed it onto a Cranberry Bliss square of card stock to allow the sentiment to pop.
The shaker was attached to the left side of the card along the tape border. The sentiment was popped up on to the Black Licorice circle using Foam Squares, offsetting them so that the circle peaks out from behind the sentiment. Finally I added a multi-loop bow of Candy Apple Thread to the bottom right corner of the mini shaker.
Here is the finished project:
I wasn't quite sure where I was going when I started this card, but I think I ended up in a pretty good place. I hope you agree!
