Okay, so I've had these tiny nails forever and a friend sent me the hammer die cut (thanks Janeen!). So I decided to try a shaker card with them. I had to double stack the foam tape to make sure the nails had room to move around and I reinforced the back of the paper to make sure they wouldn't poke through. I just do not have the patience right now to line up my alphabet stamps so I handwrote a sentiment. Also, the hammer was all one color so I colored the top with a silver sharpie and covered the handle in woodgrain washi tape.

This is fabulous! Love those tiny nails and they work great in a shaker. The hammer is awesome and I like how you changed it up. The wood background is great. Love the sentiment. You handwrote that? I thought it was a stamp! I wish I could write that nicely. Great job with the challenge!! You nailed it!! Love your well constructed card.
