Star Shaker card by Annette Lanker

All supplies donated by Penny Wise Arts

Print off a star shaker template (I used 5175 & 5200) onto white matte cardstock. Cut out the shapes and use the next to the largest opening. Stamp the card front using Kaleidacolor Blue Breeze inkpad and Star stamps by Stampin' Up. Stamp the insert using Kaleidacolor Creole Spice inkpad and Sun and Moon stamped by Stampin' Up. Add the wind swirls as seen in the sample. Score the template along the score lines and fold as indicated. Using your insert piece as a pattern trace onto a piece of acetate and create your shaker card window. Adhere over the opening and secure. Add foam tape around the opening to create your shaker chamber and then add your microbeads. Remove the backing from your foam tape and add your insert. Then seal the whole thing by folding your flaps in and sealing with heavy duty adhesive.
