Nature's Magic Shaker Card

I recently attended the Level 3 Altenew Educator Certification Program workshop for Revati Panickar, and this was one of the cards we made during the workshop. I love shakers, and this full panel shaker was so quick and easy to create using recylced packaging! If you'd like to see my post about the fun fold card we also made in this session (see photo below), here's the link to my blog post about it: Carrie's Custom Cards: Sending Hugs Fun Fold Card

For this A2 shaker card, I started by creating a white side-folding A2 card base. Then I trimmed a piece of yellow pattern paper to 4 1/4 by 5 inches and adhered it to the front of the card. 

I then trimmed a piece of white cardstock to 4 by 5 1/4 inches and stamped one of the florals and the "wishing you a beautiful day" sentiment from Altenew's Build-A-Garden: Nature's Magic set in VersaFine Clair Nocturne ink and added Altenew's clear embossing powder over the ink before heat setting it.  I colored the florals using Altenew's Fresh Lemon and Fresh Leaf inks through the coordinating stencils. 

To create the shaker pouch, I used trimmed clear packaging to create a pouch around the white panel. I adhered the ends of the packaging to the back of the panel on three sides and then filled the pouch with beads in coordinating colors. I then sealed the last side of the pouch and adhered the pouch to my card front. 

The stamped florals are from Altenew's Build-A-Garden: Nature's Magic set. If you're interested in shopping at Altenew, I'd love it if you used my affiliate link here: Carrie's Altenew Link.
