Jelly Bean Shaker Jar

This card was inspired by the Stamp Ink Paper challenge #157. I really love Lawn Fawn stamps and Doodlebug Design papers, so my card combines both. I also love Stampin' Up! for sentiment stamps, because they offer an extensive offering in French, which not a lot of companies do. I pulled out On Your Birthday (the French version), an old favorite, to stamp "It's YOUR day - enjoy!" Seemed fitting with the jelly bean jar.

The design was inspired by a Page Maps card sketch from July 2018. To have the folder tab, I pulled out an old tool - a Coluzzle folder template! I've held on to some of my Coluzzle templates because they still are the only tools that I have which allow me to cut super large circles and folders of all sizes. In this age of die-cutting and electronic machines, it's a little funny to go back to the Coluzzle, but hey, don't knock it if it works! I adapted the square layer from the sketch to a tag layer instead because I didn't want to hide the pretty rickrack, and that layer really tied the layout together.

For the shaker, I stamped and colored the stack of jelly beans on my background piece, and then I stamped and colored nine individual beans, which I handcut and placed inside the shaker. I added sequins from various sequin packs and Iridescent Mini Star Confetti from Pretty Pink Posh. I kept debating on whether to add the jar tag or not - the jar felt bare without it, but I didn't want to hide the pretty content too much, so I finally white-embossed the tag on vellum and added "jelly beans" embossed in Melon Mambo powder. The vellum lets the colours peak through, so it was a good compromise.

A little die-cut flower topped with a flower button was added to the folder tab to embellish it a bit, and three dots of White Enamel Accents. Finally, a glitter enamel dot was added to the left side.
