Lucky Shaker Card with Clesr Scraps

 Hello Crafty Friends - I am here with a fun shaker card featuring
 the Clear Scraps Mini Shaker Shamrock .


Supplies Used:
Plaid Paints: Kelly Green & Metallic Emerald
Cardstock: Dark Green, Medium Green, & White
Shimmer Cardstock: Gold
Shamrock Pattern Paper
White Cardbase
Pretty Pink Posh Die: Lucky
Dare 2B Artzy Dies: Rectangle Framelits
Shaker Bits
Bearly Art Glue
Tools: Paint Brush, & Paper Towels


Let's get Started.

I start by painting the back and front of the Clear Scraps Mini Shaker Shamrock .
  Then, set them aside to dry.


Next, I adhere the two inner pieces together. I place them under a heavy tile to dry.



While the pieces of the Clear Scraps Mini Shaker Shamrock  dry I adhere the pieces of the die cut sentiment together. I die cut 2 from white cardstock and 2 from shimmer cardstock. I adhere them together to make a thick chipboard piece. Then, I adhere it to the back piece.


Next, I gathered all the cardstock, pattern paper and card base together and adhered them.

Now that my Clear Scraps Mini Shaker Shamrock  pieces are dry it's time to put the shaker together.

I start by adhering the acetate piece to the back of the front piece. 
Set it aside under the heavy tile for a bit.

Next, I adhere the inner pieces to the back of the Clear Scraps Mini Shaker Shamrock  and clean up any adhesive that is showing. I also put a bit of anti-static powder in the shaker(not shown but a tip).

Next, I fill the back piece with the shaker bits and adhere the top of the
 Clear Scraps Mini Shaker Shamrock  and place it under a heavy tile for about a minute. 

Once the shaker is dry it's time to add it the card.

I adhere the Clear Scraps Mini Shaker Shamrock  to the card.

I adhere the sentiment on top of the Clear Scraps Mini Shaker Shamrock. I placed it towards the bottom of the shaker.

Finally, I add a few shaker bits and a clay two-tone heart to the card.

The card is now complete!
