Carla challenged us to make shaker cards today. I'm so glad that our challenge hostesses periodically challenge us to make shaker cards. Because I am not inclined to make them on my own, but the more I do the easier they get. Of course "Make a shaker card" is so open-ended that I got a little lost for a bit. I had to go browsing the gallery and I decided that I wanted to try a big shaker with a pretty die cut pattern in front. I used a free Brother ScanNCut pattern. The pattern makes a little lantern with the pattern on all four sides. But I just cut the pattern to about card size. I filled my shaker with gold sequins and glitter. The "love" is also cut using my ScanNCut. I made the pattern using the "Wayback" font that I got from The Hungry JPEG. The card base is from the Recollections pack of cards that I bought on after Christmas clearance at Michael's. I cut up one of the cards to use to cut out the sentiment.
I'm trying to build my stash back up and I didn't put anything on the inside of this yet, so it can be a wedding or anniversary card.

I am very inspired by your gorgeous, creative beauty. Got my Scan n Cut a few weeks ago and am still in the early stages learning curve mode, but am finally having more successes than failures. Thanks for always giving the best details on your creations.
