Art Impressions Blog: Halloween Magic Easel Shaker Card by Lynn Dionne

Happy Wednesday Ai Fans!!!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

Today we will be creating an adorable Halloween Easel Shaker Card! To do this we will be using the new Ai Mini Scalloped Frame Dies (5902). This wonderful die set includes the dies needed to create a cute little frame pocket for your stamped images or photos. The set includes three oval dies that will allow you to create the opening for your frame. There is also a fun easel die, a circle die, and a banner die for your sentiments!

However, we are going to add a little twist to this frame by creating a shaker element! I will show you exactly how to assemble this shaker pocket for your frame in today's video.

For paper we will be using the Ai Halloween S2 Paper Pack (5849). This will give us some spooky spider webs for the outside of the frame and some cute little sentiments for the inside of the shaker element.

The focal image is going to be this adorable little witch holding her little black cat. This fun image comes from the Ai Halloween Magic Set (5037).

Let's go ahead and stamp and color this image using the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens in the following colors: Blender, Flesh Colour, Blossom Pink, Lt Violet, Deep Violet, Lt Green, Deep Green, Orange, Scarlet Red, Deep Red, Sand, Brown, Lt Gray, and Warm Gray 6.

Now we can assemble the base of our frame and shaker by adding some Scary Fun sequins in green, purple and orange for lots and lots of sparkle!

Next, we can add a cute spider and web in the corner using the Ai Web Dies (5462). Let's also add a sweet sentiment using the banner die from the frame set and a sentiment from the stamp set that included the witch.

Finally, let's add some more sparkle using the Wink of Stella Clear Glitter Pen!

This fun easel design would be great for a teacher, co-worker, or friends desk! It is just so much fun to make and give!
