Today I combined the sketch with Dawnâs âSee it Clearlyâ challenge to use acetate. I thought it would be fun to make a shaker card for my friend who is turning 40 next week. Most of my friends will be turning 40 in the next year or two, so expect to be seeing a lot of these! This card was one disaster after another and came in at 56 minutes. I started by making a â40â cut file using the ScanNCut software and the âGrinchedâ font from fontspace.com. I finally figured out how to make an offset in the software to shadow my words/numbers. Then I stamped the balloons (from a set that Iâve never used) and embossed them with pearly green EP. But when I picked up the bottom one, I smudged the EP! Then I cut the two birthday patterned papers for the bottom and top layers and cut (too small) a circle. I shouldâve gone with the next die size up. I flipped the paper over and stuck on the acetate and the foam squares around the circle. Filled in with sequins and then stuck the card base to it. When I flipped it over, the paper was upside down which wouldnât have been such a big deal if it didnât say âHappy Birthdayâ all over it. I had to cut the whole card apart and put it on a new base. UGH. Then I scattered sequins across the card specifically so I could cover up the EP smudge. Adventures in card making! LOL!
