Halloween Shakers by Bri Firth

Hi everyone - Bri Firth here! Today I am sharing my creations featuring the new Halloween Critters stamp set. This set has the most adorable spooky critters and it comes with coordinating dies! These creations have two interactive components: slide-n-stand and shaker surprise! These projects are also featured on my personal blog, check it out here

To create the slider element you need three circles of the same dimensions per creation: one for the bottom panel, one for the folded panel, and one for the top panel. Score the folding panel in half and adhere to the tops of the other two circles. The ink blended background of the shaker elements is the top circle for the fun fold. I used oval dies to die cut out the sentiment and put the ovals onto foam squares so the top circle could stand vertically behind the sentiment.

To create the shaker elements I used shaker kits from my craft stash (shaker kits linked below). I used Distress Oxide inks to create the colorful spooky backgrounds. I used Black Soot Distress ink to create the splattering effect on the backgrounds. I added sequins of Halloween colors into the shaker mixes. To finish these shaker creations I colored the Halloween critters and candy with my Copic Sketch markers and glued them onto the front and inside of the cards. 

*Hint: Make sure to use your embossing buddy on the sequin mix to remove any static in your shaker component!
Check back next week for more Ai inspiration made by me!
