Ready to get started on today’s card? Let go!

This Koala Friends from Pretty Pink Posh is so darn cute with the different size Koalas so I decided to create this fun upright card. Also, reached for the Birdie Friends set to add a branch, leaves, and sentiment to add to the scene.

For this card, I started out by die cutting a couple of Scallop Circles, one for the inside of the card and the other for the top of the card and shaker.

To color these Koala’s, I used the following copic colors: CO, C1, C3, C5, R11 for the belly and ears. For the branch, E37, E33, E31 and for the sentiments, I used the Zig Clean Color Brush.

Next, I die cut a large basic circle almost the same size of the Scallop Circles to create the background and use for closing the shaker from behind.  Added some clouds using Salty Ocean distress ink and began to piece together the shaker by adding several sequins using the Berry Bright Mix and glued down some Silver Mini Star Confetti on top.

From there, I created the circle card base by placing the same circle onto a folded card stock and ran it through the die cutting machine leaving a little portion of the circle die not hitting the top of the card stock.  This way it leaves a fold on top.

Once the card base was done, I scored the front cover halfway and glued the bottom half only to add the circle shaker on top.

To decorate the inside of the card, I used patterned paper for the center along with the second Scallop Circles. From there, I added a sentiment from the Birdie Friends set where I colored using my zig clean color brush. Also, added some foam mount under the sentiment to pop it up which helps to hold the card upright so one can place anywhere.

From there, I created another white circle card base, but used a larger circle die since I was trying to create a double card put together. Plus, I wanted to give this upright card a white border around it and add an extra area to write a message.

When it lays flat, it shows the white border around the card, but when upright, only shows the top original card.

There is a company that makes shaker card kits for people like me and I can’t wait to make one of them. I wish all companies made shaker card kits for people who don’t have die cutters. Anyway, your shaker card is so cute and colored so nicely. Cute cards like that are the kind I love to make among others.
    Thanks for showing us your cute, nicely colored card and for giving us the chance to win something. I love blog hops!

  185. Love these adorable
    Koalas on your card!
