Hi friends, Angelica here and today I’m sharing a fun shaker card using new products from the Pretty Pink Posh January release. I am so in love with the new Cupcake Critters stamp set, and the images pair perfectly with the new Celebrate Shaker die.

My first step was coloring the cupcake critter. I stamped the image onto white card stock with Copic-friendly ink. I then colored the image with Copic Markers. I started with the bunny:  W5, W3, W1, W00, R00. For the frosting, I used V00, V01, V12, V15. I colored the frosting with V00, did a little shading with V01, then did little dots of colors to finish the rest of shading, and to add texture. For the wrapper, I used Y21, Y23, Y26, Colorless Blender, and V91 for the drop-shade under the frosting. Lastly, the cherry I colored with R24, R27, R29, and R59. I used each marker to draw a line, leaving white space around the stem.

My next step was inking the card front. I used Scattered Straw and Wilted Violet Distress Oxide Inks to blend onto Neenah Solar White 80 lb card stock. I started at the top with the Scattered Straw, blending ink down towards the middle of the card front. I blended the same with the Wilted Violet, blending the ink up towards the middle. I didn’t want the inks touching too much. When I was finished, I tapped shimmer water all over the paper. I let the water sit for about 15 seconds, then dabbed the water up with a paper towel. This left shimmery drops all over paper.

To make the shaker element, I ran the card front through my die-cut machine with the Celebrate Shaker die. I then closed the window from the backside with a piece of acetate and 1/8 inch Scor Tape. I die-cut Celebrate again out of white card stock that I had added Stick It Adhesive to on the backside. This made it really easy to attach the die cut to the front of the shaker window. I flipped the card front around to the backside and added Darice Double-sided Adhesive Strips to all four sides of the window. I filled the window with Sugar Plum Jewels and Sugar Plum Confetti, then closed the window with another piece of acetate. I added foam tape to the rest of the back and attached the card front to an A2 size card base. I used thin adhesive squares to add the Cupcake Critter, then used W3 and W1 Copic markers to draw a quick shadow under the cupcake. My final touch was adding a few Sugar Plum Jewels using Ranger Multi Media Matte.
