Masculine Blue Belle Birthday | RECIPE

This week I’m shaking things up with an easy to make Masculine Blue Belle Birthday Shaker Card! I’m even including a quick Video on how to create the Shaker portion below – Woop! Woop!

The inspiration for this card came pretty easy for me this week. In fact, I think it only took me about 20 minutes from start to finish… Pretty incredible considering how slow I am at the creation process most days!

Last week, over in my Stampinbuds VIP Facebook Group, I shared a card template with my subscribers to inspire some weekly creativity. Little did I know that the template would actually inspire ME to create this card and turn it into another Free Recipe Friday Blog Post! Way cool!

The INSTRUCTIONS:

Now that you have everything you need, let’s get to the good stuff – the CREATING!

1. Center and attach the Tiny Polka Dot Paper to the large Blue Belle Cardstock sheet before attaching to the Card Base.
2. Attach the Scallop Zip Strip, Shimmer Trim and the Light Stitched Blue Belle strip to the center of the card, as shown.\
3. Dovetail and attach the two strips of paper that will lay under the main Circle of the card.
4. Use a die cutting machine to cut out a White Daisy Cardstock Circle and a Blue Belle Frame.
5. Use Black Ink to stamp ‘Make a Wish’ and Blue Belle Ink to stamp ‘Let’s Party’ onto the White Daisy Circle from step 3. Adhere to the center of the Card.
6. Use the Piercing Tool to trace around the Foam Tape Circle (a shaker card piece) to loosen it from its carrier sheet. Attach to the rim of the Circle from step 4, leaving the other side unpeeled.
7. Peel the film off one side of the Acetate piece. Dust it with the Anti Static Pouch, as well as the inside of the stamped Circle.
8. Carefully add some sequins into the circle. Remove the last peel from the Foam Tape circle. Carefully attach the Acetate.
9. Attach the Blue Belle Shaker Ring to hide the Foam Tape.
10. Attach Silver Glitter Gems in the top right corner of the card.
