Pretty Pawsome Shaker Card

Hello Crafty Friends, Ilda here from I Love Doing All things crafty.

I am super excited to be a guest designer for Heffy Doodle this month. I love their adorable designs and am always happy to collaborate with them.

Ever since we got our puppy, Ruby (our COVID baby), I have become more aware of what pets mean to us humans. Sadly, I wasn’t raised with animals and I must admit I had no clue about the bond we share with them. So today, I thought it would be fun to make some generic pawsome cards that could be used for any occasion celebrating a pet in your life. I purposely have left the inside blank to customize the card in the future.

CARD RECIPE

I wanted to make this shaker card as clean and simple as possible and still give it an interactive element. 

• Die-cut the paw die from the Pretty Pawsome Dies from a card panel.
• Die-cut the panel now using the largest frame from the Scalloped Imperial Frames Dies you will use the negative of the die, not the scallop piece. 
• Blend out yellow, pink, and blue ink on another piece of paper to result in a rainbow blend. 
• Die cut the paw die from the Pretty Pawsome Dies again, this time using black card stock.
• Line up the die-cut paw pieces and glue them to the rainbow background.
• To the top layer, attach acetate to the back of the panel, and line the edges with foam tape to create space for the shaker pieces.
• Die cut the bone strip from the Pretty Pawsome Dies using white paper. Place the little bones and any other shaker bits in the center of the paw. 
• Remove the protective tape layer and secure the shaker window to the background that has been trimmed to the same size. 
• Glue the shaker frame to an A2 card base.
• Die cut the woof sentiment from the Pretty Pawsome Dies a few times and stack them. Line up the letters on the panel and glue them in place.
• Finish the card by adding a die-cut heart from the Happily Ever Crafter Dies to the shaker window.

Thank you for stopping by and joining me here today for this pretty pawesome card, and until next time… Happy Crafting!
