Love Shaker

A cute Valentine shaker today for a tween.  The request:  girly, glitter, hearts.

First, I embossed the card front. I diecut the heart next, then Love twice--once from the front panel, and once from leftover foil cardstock.  Finally I diecut the panel into a stitched rectangle.  Note I wanted a subtle embossing so I had done that first--by the end, it had gone through the machine twice without the folder. You'd want to emboss after the last of the diecutting if you want a more pronounced effect.

The shaker portion was standard stuff.  After applying the plastic to the back, two barriers were created around the 2 hearts, filled with glitter and heart sequins, then sealed with leftover white cardstock.  I adhered the lot onto a pink diecut panel and then adhered that lot onto the card base.  A couple of the same shaker sequins were not so randomly attached (hides boo boo, of course).  Whew!

The Details:  Lifestyle Crafts heart dies, Papertrey Ink love die, Recollections 110lb white cardstock base and panel, and foiled cardstock, sequins from Target, Simon Says stitched rectangle die, Waltzing Mouse scalloped stitched rectangle die, Cuttlebug embossing folder, Doodlebug glitter, Judikins window plastic
