Pumpkin Carving Squirrels Shaker Card


As soon as I spied the Lawn Fawn  sparkling  Autumn leaf confetti, I knew I had to get it and make a shaker card.  Using a maple leaf die, I cut out a shaker opening, backed it with acetate and lined foam sticky tape around the opening.  I also put foam tape around the edges of the brown card piece so that the piece would be an even level on the card.  I took off all the sticky tape backings except the one on the top. After the front piece was adhered to the card, I filled the section around the leaf opening with the confetti leaves and removed the backing to the top sticky tape. 


Once the top piece was done, I worked on the Lawn Fawn stamped squirrels and carved pumpkins. The finished pieces were positioned on the card with sticky dots.  


For the inside of the card, I decided to use the cut out maple leaf (waste not, want not!).  I rubbed the leaf with some gold ink and added it along with a card stock message from my hoarded stash.  This card was easy and didn't require a lot of supplies.  I love the autumn season and can't wait to send this card to someone special!
