CottageCutz: Magical Unicorn Dreams Shaker

Hello friends,

Kris here to share some Friday inspiration with you. I've created a fun Unicorn Shaker card that is perfect for a young girl. The inside says "Birthday Wishes"

DESIGN STEPS:

I die cut the Flying Unicorn and the Rainbow with Clouds from white cardstock and colored with Copics.

Next, I cut (2) pieces of white cardstock at 4-1/4" x 5-1/2". From one of those, I die cut the largest Double Stitched Rectangle die from the middle, creating a frame for our card front.

From the Double Stitched Rectangle that was cut out, I die cut one of the Clouds Slimline dies.

On the other A2 piece of cardstock, I ink blended Distress Oxide inks over the whole background, then repeated it onto the frame.

I used Scor Tape to adhere a piece of acetate to the backside of frame, and also to the backside of the clouds border for the front. Before removing the tape backings, I inset the clouds and glued the rainbow so the ends are tucked under the clouds.

Once I got my clouds adhered on the front, I flipped it over to the back and added 1/8" foam strips around the opening, then added my shaker elements. I then placed my ink blended layer (back of shaker) upside-down onto the foam strips.

I die cut "Magical" from the Magical Unicorn Dreams die from lavender c.s. and adhered to bottom of clouds, then I popped up the unicorn with foam strips.

I cut a white A2 top folding card base and attached my shaker to the front and done!
