Tutorial: Rose Gold Birdie Shakers

Good morning Pretty Pink Posh friends!

Heather here to share another duo of cards – this time using the GORGEOUS new Rose Gold sequins (SOOOO pretty!!!) and the newest addition to the line of Storybook dies – Storybook 4 – all paired up with a couple older stamp and die sets!

I started off by choosing a couple pattern papers, die cutting my Storybook dies from white cardstock, then trimming the sides down with my paper trimmer. I then used the Scallop Frame dies, and the negative center piece die cut out of vellum – this will provide the backer to the shaker portion.

Added an acetate window, then trimmed down strips of foam adhesive to form the portion that will be filled with sequins. Don’t remove the backing to the foam adhesive yet though!

Next up, I chose a couple sentiments from Birdie Friends stamp set, stamped them in coordinating ink on some Stitched Speech Bubble dies.

The little birdie from Birdie Notes stamp set was stamped, colored with Copics to match the color schemes, and then die cut with the coordinating Birdie Notes Dies.

Next, I filled up my shaker windows with a mix of 4mm and 6mm Rose Gold sequins – normally I put my sequins on the backing of my shaker, but since I was using semi-transparent vellum, I filled the window portion – then I could still see through the vellum enough to make sure I was adhering it on squarely.

These were really fun to pick up and shake around at this point too by the way! Felt like a little rhythm instrument! :) Anyway, a bit of good adhesive hid around the outside edges easily attached it at this point to my pattern paper for my card front.

Here is a closer look at those lovely new sequins and that die! Aren’t they a perfect match?!?!?
