AAA Birthday Cards challenges Game #60 - Shaker

 Hello Crafty Friends,

It's the 1st of April and time for a new birthday card challenge at AAA Birthday challenges, and do we have a fun theme for you this month! It's all about 

Shaker Cards

This fun theme was chosen by the talented DT member, Swapna. Please see challenge card further down

Here's my take

I don't create shaker cards that often. I find them a bit tricky to get right. I either get to much or too few shaker elements in my card, and it doesn't matter how much I "dust off" the glue from the sides of the 3D foam, my shaker elements always get stuck on it anyway. But this time I think I managed quite well, right amount of shaker elements and not many of them got stuck. I do like shaker cards, and think they are a lot of fun. And I must admit I had a lot of fun creating this card.

Now it's your turn! You have until the 30th of April to create, upload and link your shaker birthday card to the AAA Birthday challenge blog. The challenge blog is filled with fun and beautiful inspiration by the talented design team and our special guest for the month, Deborah Frings. So head on over to the challenge blog, and while you are there give them all some love!

Take care keep crafting and have fun!

How I created my card, and product used

I started by cutting out a cupcake using my Silhouette. I cut out the top of the cake (a cupcake top shaped hole) directly on my card panel, which I had already die cut. Then I cut out two whole cupcakes, one in pink and one in blue. Using my scissors I cut off the top from the blue cake and the bottom of the pink one. Then I glued the pink top on the blue bottom parts to create my pink cupcake in a blue capcake wrapping. The pink cupcake in its blue wrapping was glued on top of the cupcake opening on the card panel. The bithday greeting was stamped, after bending it slightly to shape it to the cake. Then it was time to adhere the card panel to the card base, but first I added some pink paper and some sprinkles on the card base. Just before adhering the panel I realised I had forgotten to attach the acetate behind my cupcake shaped hole in the card panel. I added the acetate and some 3D foam strips on the back of the panel and adhered it to the card base. I added a a puffy heart and my shaker card was done.
