Thinking of You - Happy Valentine's Day Card
Hello my dear HEARTS!
I have a fun card to share with you today.
Here she is:
I recently became a 'content creator' for This Calls For Confetti & I have to tell you, this new release of theirs is so fun.😄
It has love themed items and coffee themed ones! It is a win win either choice you go with 💕🍵!
I glued the negative space from the 'O' middle (after aligning it up) onto a sheet of mixed hued hearts from the paper pack; after I positioned/glued it to an A2--landscaped fold-- sized card. Reason being, so one could see it once the top of the shaker was in place and I find it to be esthetically pleasing to see the middle of an 'O'!
Viola!, it was complete.

I knew I wanted to make a shaker because @thiscallsfor_confetti (TCFC) had released a whimsical mix I wanted to showcase: The Sweetest Kiss Mix. The Bright ones - Red sequins are also included inside the shaker.
I think those little lips in the sweetest kiss mix are so fun! SMACK👄
The acetate panel was glued directly to the undersized of the red panel. Next, I used a double layer of TCFC's Doubled-sided Adhesive Foam Strips to pop up the top layer of the shaker so the bits would have enough room to move around inside. I also prepped the shaker area with the It's No Secret Anti Static Tool to minimize the stickiness of the foam-thus making the bits move freer.
Then the tricky part, attaching the shaker to the card base. I spread a bit of glue atop the foam so that I would have a bit of wiggle room when pressing it down.
Phew, it worked out a-okay. There are always the moments when one wonders though, 'will it look all right once attached to the panel????'
The sentiment in silver and the hearts underneath were cut from a Whimsy Stamps slimline die named 'Heartbeats'.
The 'Happy Valentine's Day' sentiment was stamped & embossed in Primary purple orchid WOW embossing powder and then heat set.
