Bird's Eye View Shaker Card & Free Tutorial

A Stamp Above Creative Group July Challenge - Feature Friday.

The Technique Feature is to create a Shaker Card.

A Stamp Above is a member's only group and as a member of Kelly's Team, I can share my creations on this site as well as see everyone else's creations.  It's a fun site with lots of information and fun challenges.

I haven't made a shaker card in quite awhile, so this was a good opportunity to do so.

I used the Stampin' Up! Bird's Eye View, Two-Tone Flora & Timeless Arrangements Stamp Sets along with Two-Tone Flora, and Nested Essentials Dies and Countryside Inn DSP.  The shaker elements are a combination of Iridescent Shaker Circles and Loose Silver Sequins.

For my card base, I used the Misty Moonlight cardstock.

   
Using the largest die from the Nested Essentials Dies, I die cut Basic White cardstock and stamped the bird image using Memento ink.

   I also used the same die to cut the DSP approximately where I wanted to have the shaker part.
Adhesive Foam Strips were adhered around the die cut.  The Window Sheet was was adhered to the back of the DSP layer.
Next, I removed the backer from the adhesive strips and added the shaker elements and adhered the DSP over it to create the shaker card.

The sentiment is from Timeless Arrangements Stamp Set, using Misty Moonlight ink and adhered on the bottom of the card.

The flowers were stamped using Misty Moonlight, Boho Blue and Lost Lagoon inks, die cut and arranged onto the lower corner of the shaker part.  Linen Thread was looped a couple of times and adhered behind the largest flower and adhered with dimensionals.

DSP was also added on the envelope flap.

Inside my card is another layer of DSP with Basic White cardstock centered onto it.  A partial image of the bird was stamped using Memento ink.

Even with the shaker elements, you can still see the cute little bird in the background.
