Hi everyone, it’s Tina here. I have a fun card to share using the Birthday Essentials dies and turned it into a flat shaker. Below you will find the steps to create your own card.

Step 1 – Trim White Cardstock to 7” x 6”, score at 3 1/2” and fold in half for a vertical side fold card. (Mini Slimline)

Step 2 – Trim White Cardstock to 3 1/4″ x 5 3/4″. Apply Ink’s in various colors using a Blending Tool. I used Distress Oxide Inks. Optional – for a Bokeh Effect Background randomly apply White Ink in various sizes of circles. (Because I added Confetti to my shaker card the Bokeh design is harder to see so if you want Bokeh don’t add the Confetti)

Step 3 – Place a cellophane sheet on top of the panel created from Step 2. Turn it over and adhere Clear Double Sided Adhesive Tape to all sides. Remove the release strips from three sides and fold the cellophane on top. Sprinkle Sequins of your choice. I used Spring Leaves, Tutti Fruiti, 12th Man and Sugar Plum Fairies. Remove the last release strip and secure the cellophane. You now have a flat shaker panel. Adhere to card front using Double Sided Adhesive Tape.

Step 4 – Diecut Birthday Essentials (balloons 2 small and 1 big) using various colors of cardstock. For added interest I adding some shading to the left side of the balloons. Add some baker’s yarn to the backside of the balloons. Adhere to card using Bearly Art Precision Glue.

Step 5 – Diecut Happy Birthday w/Shadow (word Happy only) in White and Black Cardstock. Trim a little off the Y because the B intertwines. Adhere the White diecut to the Black and off set to create a shadow and then adhere to the card using Bearly Art Precision Glue.

Step 6 – Stamp Happy Day (Birthday) using Versamark on Black Cardstock. Sprinkle White Embossing Powder and remove the excess. Heat Set it with a Heat Tool. A reminder to prep your cardstock first with the Telescopic Powder Tool. Trim the sentiment and adhere to card using Bearly Art Precision Glue.

This card can be used for several occasions by changing the sentiment and the colors. Below is a link to all the products used. Thank you for stopping by and Happy Crafting!
