Valentine Shaker Card


This is a new stamp set from Stampin' Up. It is not in the catalogue. It comes with a matching punch and sweet heart cups. I decided not to use the cups, but to make a shaker card instead.
I stamped the "be mine" image in Rich Razzleberry on Whisper White card stock. I then used my heart punch and punched the inside of the heart.
I stamped the bird in Pink Passion on Whisper White cardstock and cut it out. I used the anywhere glue stick and stuck him on the Rich Razzleberry cardstock.
For the window*, I used packing tape. I folded a strip in half so the sticky ends were touching each other. I then glued the window onto the back of the piece of white card stock. I took some Sticky Strip and placed it around the window. And then I cut pieces of foam and placed on top of the Sticky Strip. I put another layer of Sticky strip on the foam. I then put some tiny beads on the window. With the back side of the window still facing up, I layered the Rich Razzleberry over it.
* You can use acetate or the overhead projector sheets, but I went the economical way and used packing tape.
I used Glorious Green to stamp the stem portion of the flower on to Whisper White cardstock. and layered that on a piece of Glorious Green cardstock. The flower is layered on So Saffron cardstock which is placed on a piece of Pink Passion.
