Star Shaker Card Sneak Peek

Hi Bloggers.

I have a shaker card for your sneak peek today -

I started by cutting the largest die from Sue Wilson's Radiating Star Die Set out of Acetate. I added some Cosmic Shimmer Crystal Stars to a Star Treat Cup and sealed them in with CS Glue and my Acetate star. I put aside to set/dry.

I misted a piece of Coconut White Card with water. I sprinkled over some CS Aqua Lagoon Pixie Powder and put aside to dry.

I cut an aperture out of Coconut White Card using the largest die in Sue's Poinsettia Star Die Set. I ran the background through the Spellbinders Platinum Machine with the Creative Expressions Candy Burst Embossing Folder.

I cut die #1 from Sue's Radiating Star out of Coconut White Card.

I cut die #4 from the set out of Coconut White Card and dies #3 and #4 out of Coconut White Card. I glued the 2 die cuts together. One the glue was dry, I slotted in die #2 and cut to create a frame.

I made a frame out of Coconut White Card using Sue's Double Pierced Squares Set B.

I then started to construct my card. I glued the inner Radiating Star die cut to a section of my Pixie Powder Background. I glued the Treat Cup to this and then slotted my embossed aperture piece over the top of the Treat Cup. I glued my star frame around this.

I added my square frame using 2mm Foam Tape. I matted onto Coconut White Card that I edged with Blue Lagoon Chalk Cloud. I matted onto another piece of Coconut White Card.

I stamped the sentiment from the Creative Expressions Santa's Sentiments using Blue Lagoon Chalk Cloud applying the ink with a Smoothie. I cut it out using Sue's Pierced Flags. I added a couple of snowflakes cut from my Pixie Powder Background using die #1 from Sue's Looped Snowflake Frame.

I completed my card by adding some White Pearls to the corners of my frame and the centre of the snowflake.
