Heart Shaker Card

I was at Craft Warehouse the other day and they were having a huge clearance on a lot of scrap stuff. Including the Shaker things. I saw them on someones blog the other day (can't remember who's) and I thought man those would make shaker card so much easier.. so I got some cuz they were only $1.65 for a box of 10.. I got square, circle & hearts.

So I made this card for my husband for our anniversary this year (aug 15). I made the key thats inside the heart using the Sweethearts cart and cut it at 1.5 inches, I also cut the "Happy Anniversary" out from Sweethearts at 1.5 inches. The key I cut using card stock and to make it a little think I cut 2 out and glued them back to back. I covered both sides in silver glitter glue and then after it dried I covered one side in Clear Accents.

I cut the plaid orange paper out to fit the card (4x5 I think) I traced the heart shaker box on the paper and cut out the inside of the heart. I glued down the key inside the heart shape and put some gold glass beads & orange glitter inside the heart cut.. then I placed the shaker box over it (it comes with a film you peel and it self sticks... super nice!).

I put a little orange bow down in the corner just to add a little I donno I just thought it could use it. I hand wrote the sentiment. See when my husband and I were dating he used to lock his keys in the car on a weekly basis.. he did it ALL the time!! Matter of fact one of the last times he did it was the day before our wedding!! LOL! We were at my place getting ready to leave for my baptism and he wanted to get the truck cooled off for me so he started it and turned on the air and came back to get me.. lol. It was his grandparents truck and it locks itself after a certain amount of time. Well my Uncle & Adam got it unlocked with a coat hanger because AAA wasn't gonna be there for over an hour and that would have made me 2 hrs late to my baptism.. I was luckily only 1 hr late LOL. He has yet to lock the keys in our truck.. but we'll see. He just let his AAA membership expire 4 months ago so I wouldn't be surprised if it happened soon.

Anyway I am entering this card into the following challenges:

I used solid colored paper from my stash and did the turkey cut at 2inches. I cut out the pumpkins also using Create A Critter at 1/2 inch. I colored the pumpkin faces on with some Scribbles 3D paint. I also used the Scribbles 3D paint to write the "Thank You!" and I used orange, red and yellow Scribbles 3D paint to color the edges of the card.. I just put it on my finger and rubbed it in. I also highlighted the turkey on his wings and hat with brown Scribbles 3D paint. I put an tiny orange ribbon around the turkey's hat and used foam double sided tape to put the pumpkins on. To make the turkeys wings different colors I cut out layer 2 three different times (once in yellow, once in bright orange and once in pumpkin orange) I then put them in the order I wanted them to show and cut out the middle on 4 middle feathers on the yellow, then the two middle feathers on the bright orange. Turned out pretty cute!

Thanks for stoppin' by and have a great night!
