Dream BIG vellum shaker

Hey everybody! A very Happy Tuesday to you! I’m up on the CutCardStock blog today with an awesome DT inspiration project featuring our Stardream Metallic Onyx, Stardream Metallic Eris, Stardream Metallic Azalea and Glama Natural Translucent Vellum! I created a shaker with vellum which I’ve never tried before. I’ve seen quite a few vellum shakers which look really cool so I’ve been inspired to try it! And I always seem to have difficulty with glare hitting the acetate on traditional shakers so I figured using vellum might be a good thing! It turned out to be a great thing! ;)

I cut a standard A2 size side-folding landscape card base from Stardream Metallic Onyx cardstock along with a layering panel from Stardream Metallic Eris cardstock. Using the Tim Holtz Alterations Movers & Shapers Dream Magnetic Die along with the Base Tray, I die cut the large sentiment into the bottom portion of the Eris panel. I adhered a piece of Glama Natural Translucent Vellum behind the aperture and then applied double-sided foam strips. I adhered a strip of Stardream Metallic Azalea cardstock to the bottom portion of the card base so that a muted pink would show through the shaker aperture.

I created a shaker mix with a small pinch of Kat Scrappiness Pearl Glass Dots, pink Queen & Co. Baby Beads Toppings and pink US Artquest Mini Prills, and adhered the shaker panel to the card base sealing the shaker mix inside. I stamped a sentiment word from the Dare 2B Artzy Dream Big stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on a Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock scrap, fussy cut it, and adhered it beneath the die cut sentiment. I completed the card front with several clear iridescent gemstones.

I have to say I like using the vellum! The shaker mix is subtly seen and heard through the vellum and there is no issue with glare. I’ll definitely be doing this again!

I cut the inside panel from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock and embellished it with strips of Stardream Metallic Onyx, Stardream Metallic Eris and Stardream Metallic Azalea cardstock. I stamped the sentiment from the same Dare 2B Artzy Dream Big stamp set in black ink, and layered the panel on Azalea cardstock.
