Happy Birthday Shaker Card

 One birthday card down and two more to go!  I made this card for a friend of mine who lives in Florida.  We have known each other since we were kids going to the same school, church, etc.  It's nice to keep in touch.  I like to watch Jennifer McGuire's blog for different techniques and ideas.  A few weeks ago, I saw her use the die - Birthday Message #1842- and fell in love with it.  Of course, it was out of stock when I went to order it so I left my email to notify me when it was back in stock.  When they did Simon Says had a special on if you order one die you get the die - Beautiful Wafer Die - for free.  Well, I couldn't let a good deal go bye!  

I used white CS for my base card.  I cut out 4 layers of white CS with the die to form my shaker card.  I glued them on a solid piece of white CS and used the die to cut out another one using some green glitter paper.  I glued on a piece of clear CS to it and glued that on my 4 pieces after I filled the sentiment with some little gems to make the shaker card.  I love how it turned out!  I love making shaker cards this way.  For my sentiment on the front, I used SU's stamp set Label Me Bold.

For the inside sentiment, I used SU's stamp set Approaching Perfection.  I love the sayings that are included.  I also punched some little hearts from the left over green glitter paper.  It is hard to believe that Easter is around the corner.  It is really early this year.  Have a great week!

Thanks for topping by,
