Happy 4th of July Shaker Card with Clear Scraps

 Hello Crafty Friends - I am here with a 4th of July shaker card featuring a easy to assemble shaker from Clear Scraps.

Supplies Used:
Clear Scraps Mini Flag Shaker
Clear Scraps: 4x6 Star Stencil
Red, White & Blue Cardstock
Hero Arts Celebrate Stamp Set CL498
DCWV- Star Pattern Paper(Summer Stack)
Brutus Monroe Glitter Glaze Fallen Snow

Hero Arts Pigment Ink: Unicorn

Apple Barrel Paints: Red, White, & Navy

FolkArt Metallic Paint: Gun Metal Gray 
Star Spangle Shaker Mix
VersaFine Ink - Onyx Black
Bearly Art Glue & Foam Tape
Scissors

Pencil

Step. 1 - I start with the my card panel. This gives it some time to dry. I the Blue cardstock onto a stick mat then placed the Clear Scraps: 4x6 Star Stencil onto of the blue cardstock. 

I used the Hero Arts Pigment Ink in Unicorn with a sponge applicator to fill in the stars.

 I then did a quick heat set with my heat tool. 

I then applied a thin layer of the Glitter Glaze through the Clear Scraps: 4x6 Star Stencil.

I removed the Clear Scraps: 4x6 Star Stencil and allowed the panel to dry completely.

Step. 2 -  I started by masking the sections of the Clear Scraps Mini Flag Shaker with a bit of washi tape.

I painted the pole of the shaker with metallic paint. Then a portion of the flag with the Navy paint.

I removed the washi tape and then paited the red sections.

Finally I painted the white sections of the flag.

Step. 3 - I gathered all the items to make the shaker.

I start by tracing the flag onto the pattern paper and cutting it out. Then adhered it to the base of the Clear Scraps Mini Flag Shaker

I love putting Clear Scraps shakers because no foam tape is needed in the assembly. You just adhere the two inner chipboard shapes together then adhere them onto your base, 

Next, I remove the film on both sides of the acetate that comes with your shaker.

I filled the shaker with my mix. Then put some adhesive onto the edge of the base.

I adhered the clear acetate piece to the back of the painted flag piece.

I finally adhere the top to the shaker. Then placed it under a heavy block to allow the glue to dry.

Step. 4 - Now, that the card front panel is dry as well as our flag it's time to assemble the card. I stamp the sentiment and cut it out. I add a bit of foam adhesive to it.

I adhere the layers of the card starting with red cardstock panel, then the white, finally added the blue panel to my card base.

Next, I adhere the flag shaker and the sentiment to the card front,

Now, the card is complete!

Thank you for stopping by the blog today. I hope you found some inspiration

 and create a shaker card soon!.
