Today's Project: Easter Egg Shaker Card
I cut a white piece of cardstock 4.5x12" and folded in half to be 4.5x6." Then cut a 4x6" piece of plaid patterned paper and adhered to the card base. And took a 4x6" piece of yellow cardstock and cut an oval shape hole in the center with an egg shape die cut and a Big Shot machine. And set a side.

Next I taped down a NEW stencil on white cardstock with some purple tape (like masking tape, but less tacky) and added some color with a blending tool. And trimmed down a little larger than the oval shape opening to about 4x4.5"
When I was at a craft Expo last year I came across these clear shaker bags for cards and thought that was a genius way to contain our sequins and remain flat enough for mailing. Because we usually use foam tape and it's very bulky.
So, I took a clear bag, filled it with pretty spring colored sequins, sealed the top closed and adhered to the back side of the yellow cardstock at the top and bottom that we already cut out the opening previously. Then adhered the stencil panel to this yellow panel, and adhered the whole piece to the card base.

The cut out of the egg shape was a little wider than the clear shaker bag, so I covered that up by adhering these pretty flowers all the way around it. (our little secret) And added glitter enamel dots to the centers for more sparkle. Pretty, right?
To finish up this card I stamped a sweet sentiment in black on green cardstock, trimmed it down, cut the the end with scissors to create a banner and adhered to card, tucked under the flower. So sweet and versatile for Easter, Birthday, Anniversary, Graduation, New Baby or any special occasion! I hope I've inspired you to use your die cuts and stencils in new and creative ways. And check out these clear shaker bags too! The possibilities are endless!
