Art Impressions Blog: Edge-to-Edge Shaker - Birthday Card! by Lynn Dionne

Happy Wednesday Ai Fans!!!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

Let's create a fun and festive Edge-to-Edge Shaker Card today! We will be using the Ai Special Window Set (5451). This pretty party scene can also be used with all of the window dies and shadowbox dies in the Art Impressions collection! That makes this very versatile and will allow you to use this stamp in many different ways and today we will use it in another creative way!

First, we can stamp and color in our window scene! All of the coloring was done using the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens in the following colors: Blender, Sugared Almond Pink, Peach Pink, Yellow, Bright Yellow, Lt Violet, Lt Blue, Lt Green, Deep Green, Turquoise Green, Olive Green, Beige, Mid Brown, Lt Gray.

Next, let's gather up a few pretty patterned papers from the Ai Harvest Journal Series Paper Pack (5606) and Ai Halloween Journal Series Paper Pack (5605). We can die cut these papers using the Ai Square Double Stitched Dies (5061) and this will give us that nice stitched border around the edges.

Now the fun part....let's create the edge-to-edge shaker element for this card. I'll show you step by step in the video how to easily create this little pocket which will hold some pretty opalescent sequins in a variety of pastel colors!

We can now quickly assemble the card and add the gift packages and some additional sequins for added interest!
