Happy Fall Acorn Shaker

Hello Crafty Friends! It is Hanh here with you today. I have a sweet card to share with you featuring the Acorn Shaker Dies, Stitched Leaves Dies, Happy Fall Stamp & Dies, Gingham Stencil and Blush Harvest Shaker Beads. So let’s get started. 

I used the Acorn Shaker Dies to diecut the solid acorn out of kraft cardstock and a piece of clear acetate. Next, I secured the window cutout die to the full acorn die with a piece of tape. I used this die combo to diecut one acorn out of kraft and 6 acorns out of white cardstock. I used the acorn top die from the Acorn Shaker Dies and the Stitched Leaves Dies to diecut the acorn top and leaves out of colored cardstock. 

For the shaker design, I layered and adhered the white acorns to each other with liquid glue before adhering the stack to the solid kraft acorn to create the shaker well. I filled the shaker well with some of the absolutely beautiful Blush Harvest Shaker Beads. I closed the shaker off with the clear acetate acorn. I topped the shaker with the kraft colored acorn with the cutout window and the brown acorn top. To add extra cuteness to the acorn, I added eyes, a smile and some blushing cheeks using the Gingerbread Shaker Dies. 

I adhered the leaves from the front and back of the acorn shaker and highlighted with a white gel pen. I added a bow with ribbon from my stash. 

For the layout, I used the Gingham Stencil and some Saltwater Taffy Distress Oxide ink to add a subtle gingham plaid design to a piece of pink cardstock (4” x 5.25”).

For the sentiment, I stamped the “Happy” and “Fall” from the Happy Fall Stamp set with Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto a piece of white cardstock and used the Sentiment Strips Dies and the Happy Fall coordinating dies to diecut them out. I adhered the shaker and sentiment to the card front. Finally, I adhered the panel to a white A2 cardbase (4.25” x 5.5”).
