Card

Supplies:
These
interaction cards are so much fun to create and receive. Use a punch to create
the opening for the shaker or cut out a larger stamp image to form the shaker.
Don’t
limit yourself to micro beads for the filler. Try using smaller beads, punch out
shapes, glitter or confetti. I recently saw a wedding card that used rice for
the shaker. There is no end to what you can use for the shaker elements!

Instructions:
Think
of the shaker as a sandwich. There is a top piece, filling (foam tape and beads)
and the bottom stamped piece.
1.
Center Coluzzle circle template over one of the 3”x3” Very Vanilla
squares. Cut a circle in the center of cardstock. Stamp the cut out square.
2.
Turn the cardstock over and apply mono-adhesive to the back add window
sheet.
3.
Add foam tape to all four sides window sheet. Make sure there are no gaps
to allow your beads to escape! I have found it easier to add the foam tape to
the top and bottom, and then add foam tape to the sides. 
4.
Stamp the second piece of 3”x3” cardstock. Remember to center the image
since it will be showing through the window that was created on the first 3”x3”
piece.
5.
Remove the foam tape backing and add the micro beads. I used about one
teaspoon full.
6.
Carefully place the stamped 3”x3” piece of cardstock, stamped side down
on the foam tape. Make sure it is firmly adhered. Now just for fun give your
shaker a shake!
7.
Layer the shaker onto Really Rust cardstock set aside.
8.
Fold the ˝ sheet of cardstock in half and stamp. Refer to photo. Stamp
the ink pen and the word “WRITE” on top of it. Layer on Really Rust cardstock.
9.
Tape the shaker and pen to the cardstock and add the checked ribbon.
