Inspiration: Festive Friday #37
I've been wanting to pull out my Emoji Love paper collection ever since I saw the Festive Friday challenge. I went through the papers trying to decide what to make and I got the idea to make a shaker card when I found a leftover piece from a previous project. I had die-cut the center of a 4" x 6" card with a Pinking Edge Square die and had kept the remaining striped frame, thinking I could make something cool with it. I cut the piece down to a 4" x 5-1/4" size and decided to turn it into a shaker. I also found this cool 3" x 4" image for a birthday emoji with a few confetti flying around, which was perfect for the project.
I found a Happy Birthday die and used black glimmer paper with it. I then filled my shaker with various sequins and embellishments. This is the part that I always find tricky: how much to put in. I've done a few shakers that looked too empty, and I knew I was working with a big window so I added a couple more spoonful to be on the safe side. now that the whole thing is glued in place, I think I could have taken a few sequins out so that the emoji is not as hidden when the card is up, but I could live with it as it was, so I decided not to run the risk to ruin the card by trying to take it apart and take sequins out.
