Today I’m sharing a\u00a0Cricut Beautiful Shaker Card for the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog<\/a> Challenge # 295 Sequins or other Embellishments. Sponsored by SpieglMom. Projects are to have at least one Cricut cut and Sequins or other embellishments.<\/p>\n

For my project, I decided to make a shaker card using the Yellow Frame from the Stand & Salute Cartridge.<\/p>\n

\"Cricut<\/p>\n

Cut pink texture card stock at 3.25 in wide. Use the cut image to then cut a window out of a piece of fun foam. Cut a piece of white cardstock the same size as the top, this will be the back.<\/p>\n

I find that cutting a back the same size as the front makes putting a shaker card together much easier.<\/p>\n

White card stock cut at 4 in x 5.25 was used for the background. The Tim Holtz stencil and Texture paste was used. Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist colors: Party Pin and Cranberry Zing colored the background. Rouge Chalk in from Brutus Monroe was used around the edges of the A2 Greeting card.<\/p>\n

On the back piece of the shaker card stamp the Botanical Background<\/a> stamp from Brutus Monroe with Embossing Ink<\/a>. Then spray with Tattered Angels Glimmer Mists: Party Pink and Turquoise Blue.<\/p>\n

Stamp the Botanical Background<\/a> stamp on the pink shaker card front with Rouge Chalk ink from Brutus Monroe.<\/p>\n

\"Cricut<\/p>\n

On a scrap of white card stock stamp the word Beautiful<\/a> from the Beautiful stamp set from Brutus Monroe<\/a> with Embossing ink<\/a>, emboss with black powder. Use distress blending tool to add Rouge chalk ink to the edge after trimming down and rounding the corners of this piece.<\/p>\n

Assemble the shaker card by attaching the fun foam to the Botanical background. Fill shaker card with sequins, butterfly sequins, and hole-less beads. Place shaker card top with acetate over fun foam.<\/p>\n

Add 3D dots to the back of Beautiful<\/a> sentiment and attach to lower right corner of the card.<\/p>\n
