My almost 5 year-old grandson has a fondness for squirrels and a grey cat for a best friend, so I just had to include them on his birthday card. I enjoy the challenge of making shaker confetti cards and I thought the wood handled jar stamp (Recollections) would make a great container for the confetti and squirrel. I stamped the cat first and made a paper mask to protect it when I stamped the jar over the cat. Next, I hand cut the jar opening, covered it from behind with clear acetate film and lined around the jar with foam tape. The cavity was filled with one hand stamped and colored squirrel (Hero Arts) and some sparkly confetti. Another piece of acetate film was used to seal in the confetti and squirrel. The cat and jar were colored in with Copic pens before the card front was attached to the card blank with more foam tape. A party hat sticker was added along with a printed 'Make A Wish' label. I think it is a card that a 5 year old squirrel loving, cat owning kid will like and I am excited to give it to him even though I'm sure he'll like the toys and other gifts we give him more than a homemade card that his odd grandma created...LOL!
