For my first card share this month I created a sailboat shaker card! I just love the Sailboat Die included in the July kit, don't you?!!!! Their is a great assortment of small print patterned papers in the kit, that work perfectly with this die.
To create the shaker, I die cut the Cream Cardstock in the kit using the two largest Stitched Rectangles Dies for the shaker frame. The backing and the transparency were die cut with the largest rectangle die.
For the inside "scene", I die cut the seagull patterned paper and blue cardstock using the second largest Stitched Rectangles Die. From the blue rectangle, I die cut waves using the Stitched Slopes & Hills Borders Dies.
The sailboats were die cut from both patterned papers and cardstock included in the kit using the Sailboat Die.
I stamped clouds from the Sailing Stamp Set on vellum using white StazOn Ink, then I fussy cut them and adhered them to the sky background.
I adhered the waves along the bottom of the inside scene and adhered the sailboats by tucking them under the waves and securing with liquid adhesive.
I stamped the greeting from the Sailing Stamp Set on the transparency using white StazOn Ink. I stamped the heart from the set on the inside of the shaker with Lawn Fawn Lobster Ink and applied a layer of Glossy Accents on top.
The transparency is adhered to the back of the frame and I adhered two layers of foam adhesive all the way around. I filled the shaker with Pretty Pink Posh Marshmallow and Sparkling Clear Seed Beads and secured the back of the shaker to the front before adhering to the navy card base.
