Hexagon Halloween Shaker Card

This mini shaker card was created using Spellbinders hexagon dies. I started by forming a card from an Echo Park spider web printed card stock and then using the largest die to cut out the card.  Lining up the upper edge of the die with the fold of the card allows you to cut the card with the top folded edge intact.  I cut a second card from plain black card stock to use as a liner because the backside of the web card stock is too colorful and busy.  I used a smaller hexagon to cut the front window which I lined with clear acetate and framed the back of the window with foam strips. Sprinklets Halloween confetti and some sparkly tiny hexagon confetti were added to the acetate window.  Next was the tricky part....lining up the two cards without spilling the confetti. Once the card is aligned, double stick tape or glue can be added to the card's inner edges to form a sturdy card. For decoration, a Sizzix spider web die was used on vellum and part of the web was glued to a corner of the hexagon card front.  Finally, a Whimsy Halloween cat with a broom was stamped, colored (with Copic pens), and fussy cut by hand before attaching to the card with foam dot adhesives.  I am happy with the unique shape and layout of this Halloween card.  I think the confetti shaker really adds a fun element to this cute card....can't stop shaking this mini card. LOL! Have a safe and sweet Halloween night!
