Shaker Pandas

Addicted to the cute pandas from Mama Elephant's "Pandamonium" stamp set! They are so adorable and i had to put them into a shaker card.

First, i stamp them (pandas and envelope iamge) on some Shrink Plastic with Stazon Ink. Then i cut them out, followed by heating the plastic over my heat gun. The plastic shrank and became tiny solid pieces immediately! So fun!

Next, i die-cut a circle on a piece of pattern paper to lay a piece of transparency over the window. Threw in the pandas and envelopes along with some sequins into the circle and sealed the sides with tons of foam tape. If i were to do this again, i would cut a square instead because it is not easy to seal the sides of a circle!

Anyway, i used Simon Says Stamp's "Happy" word die-cut to run through 5 sheets of paper. I stick them on top of each other to create a dimensional effect. Learnt this from Jennifer McGuire! Genius way to pop it up instead of cutting small strips of foam tape!

Here's a closer look at the card!
