Birthday Mini Slimline Butterfly Shaker Card

 Hello! Thank you so much for dropping by!  This is Shanna with Caffeinated Craftiness and I have a fun birthday shaker card featuring stamps from Crackerbox Stamps.

I had a lot of fun making this quick and easy shaker card!  I used the following stamps from Crackerbox stamps in today's project:

Butterflies Solid - set of 2

--or available separately--

Butterflies Solid: small or large

It's Your Birthday

I started out my card today with a mini slimline sized panel that I had leftover from a gel press session I had done previously.  I love creating multiple gel prints when I create with a gel press and this is exactly why---quick and ready to go panels!!  I used the Butterfly Solid stamps and stamped them all over the background using a gray ink.  

Next I grabbed a scalloped frame die from my stash and diet a frame out of black cardstock and set it aside.  For my window I used heat resistant acetate.  That means I was able to stamp and heat emboss on the acetate without warping/melting it--total game changer!  I stamped the It's Your Birthday sentiment in embossing ink onto a piece of the acetate cut to the same size as my frame and then heat embossed with black embossing powder.  Once cooled, I adhered the acetate piece to the black scalloped frame.

For the shaker bits I added a variety of flat sequins from my stash and then attached the frame window to the card base, over the sequins, using a double thick foam tape.  The entire shaker panel was mounted to a white card base to finish off the card.

I love creating shaker cards, I feel like they are a unique and fun card both to give and to receive!  Do you like making shakers?  

Thank you so much for stopping by today, I hope you enjoyed my project.  Be sure to check out my personal blog Caffeinated Craftiness, or follow me over on my Instagram for all of my caffeinated adventures!

See you all again soon,
