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:

Crafty Sprouts - Shaker Card

Papercraft Star - #55

Also.. real quick I wanted to show everyone what my wonderful husband bought me while he was out of town in AK on work last week.. OK OK I bought it and he didn't know until he came home LOL! I got an amazing deal though!

Thanks for stoppin' by and have a great day!

Post-it Paper Blog Hop (Shaker Card)

Sorry for the wrong date but I couldn't figure out how else to make this go above my other sticky post!

If you came here from Carissa's Blog than you're in the right place! If not, hop on over to SweetSassyDiva for the full lineup!

This is my first shaker card (done right, second ever). I hope that you enjoy it.. it did take some time (mainly because this was m first attempt to do a shaker card correctly).

Recipe:

Doodle Charms

Create A Critter

Snowflake pattern paper

White foam

White Post-it paper

Glacier Post-it paper

Sunshine Post-it paper

Clear paper/plastic (I used the old cover from a Cricut mat)

Blue Glaze pen

Blue ink pad

Adhesive

Blue Scribbles 3d paint

Black Scribbles 3d paint

White Scribbles 3d paint

Blue glitter

White glitter

Clear/White tiny glass beads

6.5 x 5 white premade card

Instructions:

Using Doodle Charms cut out the snow globe at 4 inches using the White Post-it paper and using the Glacier Post-it paper cut out the globe using shift at 4 inches. Using Create A Critter cut out the main penguin in White Post-it paper at 2 inches and the beak and feet with the Sunshine Post-it paper at 2 inches. Take the black Scribbles 3d paint and paint the area of the penguin that should be black (you can fallow the cut lines) and the eyes. Then use the White Scribbles 3d paint to paint the area of the penguin that should be white (this gives some texture). Peel the Sunshine beak and feet and adhere to the the penguin.

With the snow globe, use the White Scribbles 3d paint to paint a little snow mound on the bottom of the inside of the white globe and also some snowflakes or dots around the globe area. Take the Glacier globe and cut out the center leaving a small outline. Place the Glacier globe on some white foam and trace the outline. Cut the white foam so that it fits under the Glacier outline without showing (making sure there there is no gaps, this must be solid to hold in your beads and glitter). Adhere the Glacier boarder to a clear sheet of plastic (I used an old Cricut Mat protective sheet) and cut off the excess. Adhere the foam outline to the plastic (making sure it does not show through the other side).

Once your Scribbles paint is dried on both your globe and penguin, peel off the backing and adhere the penguin to the middle of the globe (the white main globe). Put some beads and glitter over top of the penguin. Adhere the top of the globe (I used ATG tape since it does not have to dry and can leave a solid line of adhesive) to the white globe and its done!

Now, adhere your snowflake paper to the cover of the card and adhere the globe on top of that. Cut a small circle (I did this by hand) out of the Glacier Post-it paper and ink the edges with blue ink. Then write your sentiment on that and adhere it down to the top area and your card is done!
