Well a great big HAPPY NEW YEAR to you all and thank you for joining me today on my blog for the first day of two, featuring MFT's brand new Vault Release which is available to purchase NOW! Here's what I've used to make this shaker card:-
Essential Sentiments
Skinny Strips Die-namics
Sweet Summer Color Blends 6 x 6 Paper Pad
I started by creating 3 x A2 panels. The first was taken from the paper pad, the second was created from acetate (to create the shaker window) and the third was white cardstock.
I die cut the white panel using the Full of Heart Die-namics then backed the panel with the acetate using secure Scor-Pal tape on the reverse. I then flipped this over and added foam tape around the edges and dusted the inner edge with anti static powder so that the shaker filler didn't stick to the sides. I removed the backing paper of the foam tape and dropped a mix of shaker filler contents until I was happy with the quantity and colour mix. I then closed the shaker unit by adding the patterned paper panel from the pad. I was then able to glue this to the card base.
When creating the patterned paper panel there were some leftovers which nicely show the pretty blend of colours. I took a die from the Heart Stax Die-namics and die cut in each colour portion so that the hearts on top of card echoed the blend inside the card. Each one was adhered to a white cardstock die of the same size just to make them sturdy and a tad more dimensional and I glued them in place.
To finish the card, all I needed was the perfect sentiment and for this I went back to the Essential Sentiments stamp set which I stamped in the perfect toning pink ink namely Cotton Candy Premium Dye Ink from MFT. I backed the sentiment strip with some foam tape just in the centre and applied it to the centre heart and with that the card was complete!
