Now, let's move on to my super fun star shaker card.







As I have said many a time, I LOVE STARS!!  I combined several awesome star products to create this sparkly shaker card.  First, the Coastal Cabana card base was embossed with stars after I die cut a star from the center.







I wanted the sentiment to show through, so the shaker shows through the card front.  To make this happen, I used two stars die cut from window sheet along with Frosted Sequins and Silver Glimmer paper.  To give an area for the sequins to move around, I used the slender edges from my dimensionals to create space.  If you all would like to see a picture tutorial, let me know when you comment.  If enough of you want one, I will work on it this week.







The inside greeting lines up with the star to show through.  I kept it monochromatic and used Coastal Cabana for the sentiment from Cheerful Tags.  I really love the silver glimmer paper with Coastal Cabana, it's such a great holiday color combo!

Supplies:
Stamps:  Cheerful Tags
Paper:  Coastal Cabana, Whisper White, Silver Glimmer
Ink:  Coastal Cabana
Accessories:  Star Framelits, Confetti Star Punch, Lucky Stars Embossing Folder, Window Sheets, Frosted Sequins, In Color Sequins, Dimensionals
