How to make

 

Step 1

Use the largest rectangle die to cut a panel of green card. Place the die at the very corner of the card panel, then run it through a die cutting machine.

 

Trim the other two sides creating a frame.

Step 2
Make a tall card blank using white card slightly larger than the frame piece, then glue the frame to the front.

Step 3

Next, lay the circle die inside the rectangle stitched die and secure it in place with a piece of washi tape, then die cut into a piece of white card.

 

Fix a piece of acetate to the reverse side using double sided tape, then add 3D foam pieces all around the edges and a few in the centre.

Step 4

Continue to use the circle die again and again to create a handful of shaker pieces.

 

Add some glitter and gold card to add glamour to your card.

Step 5

Attach a piece of pale pink card to the centre of the card front inside the green frame, then lay the circle shaker pieces on top followed by the circle/acetate panel.

 

Finish off by adding the yay sentiment to the upper half.
