Grateful for You Wreath Shaker Card by Brenda

Hey, crafters!! It's Brenda here with you today and we're shaking things up here on the blog this week with shaker cards!! Wreaths and shakers are a match made in heaven, as they give you the perfect opening to add bits to create a shaker card!!

I began by die-cutting the floral wreath image from the Spring Wonder EAP Paper Pad with its Coordinating DIe. I adhered a small piece of acetate to the wreath opening on the back of the die-cut. I added foam adhesive to the back of the wreath, being sure the foam tape completely seals off the inner "well" where I'll add my shaker bits.

I added  Orchid, Petunia and Apricot Dew Drops to the "well" and adhered a piece of pattern paper from the For the Love of Flowers Paper Pad that was trimmed slightly smaller than 5" x 7" to the back. The panel was adhered to a white 5" x 7" side folding card base.

I die-cut the sentiment from the Gilded Greetings EAP Paper Pad with its Coordinating Die and adhered it with a combination of liquid glue and foam tape. A trio (one of each color included in the shaker bits) was adhered around the sentiment to complete the card.

That does it for me today!! Have a wonderful Wednesday and I'll see you next week!!
