Hi crafty friends! I’m Michelle Woerner and I am super excited to be a guest designer with Pretty Pink Posh and help celebrate the 11^th birthday anniversary! Today I’m sharing a fun birthday shaker card using the new Party Hat Shaker die set and sentiments from Upright Greetings: Birthday stamp set.

Before I start any project, I always choose my color palette (my color cubes are my best friends) and I die cut all the elements in the die set with all my colors. What can I say? I love options! I play around with all the pieces until I find my favorite combination. For the Party Hat Shaker, I chose the fun teal color and filled it with a variety of shaker bits and sequins from my stash. I chose the same teal color for the hat “top” piece, and I popped it up on foam squares. I accented it with a cute pink flower and yellow center from the adorable Spring Foliage die set.  I chose the “Let’s Party” sentiment from the Upright Greetings: Birthday stamp set, trimmed it into banners and tucked the tops of each under the shaker hat topper.

For the background, I used the largest die in the Eyelet Rectangles die set die cut with white cardstock and adhered it to the card base with thin foam squares. Next, I adhered the shaker hat element down. I wanted to make a custom fun background to complement it, so I pulled out all the die cut circles from the small circle die in the Party Hat Shaker die set and played around until I liked how they were arranged. I LOVE that this one die has 10 circles, so with one pass you can get 10 of each color! Lastly, I added a few large sequins to fill in some gaps with a bit of sparkle.

Designer Tip: I followed the Rule of 3s and used 3 circles of each color which brings a visual balance to the card.
