Mix and Match Pattern Paper Shaker Card

• Pick out 3 sheets of pattern paper from the Beautiful Day paper pad. I choose 3 different colours of the same pattern paper for my card. Die cut the Floating Square from each of piece of pattern paper. 
• Die cut the Floating Square 2-4 times out of white card stock (depending on how thick you want your shaker). 
• Die cut an additional Floating Squares from a metallic cardstock.
• Die cut ‘Enjoy’ from the Simply Words dies out of one of the pieces of pattern paper and then again from white card stock. Adhere together to create a sturdy sentiment.
• Cut a rectangular piece of acetate 3 1/16” x 3 1/16” (just large enough to adhere to the large centre square opening of the floating square die cut.
• Cut out a 4 1/4” x 4 1/4” card base out of Kraft card stock.

• From the die cut pattern paper, choose which one you want to use as the focal shaker centre square. Pick out a close colour ink pad to add some definition and contrast to the edge of the pattern paper. In my case, I used Lipstick Jungle and Pink Tutu with the pink pattern paper.
• Time to build the shaker frame: 1. Attach the acetate to the back of the metallic floating square frame. 2. Glue the excess pattern paper frames and white card stock frame layers together to create a solid floating square frame.
• Layout and adhere the ink blended centre square, the floating square frame and the other pattern paper corners to the Kraft card base. Note: Do not adhere the acetate frame yet.
• Add glossy accents over the 4 pattern paper corners.
• Fill the square well with shaker bits and then glue on top the metallic frame with acetate to seal off the shaker.
• Pick out a sentiment from the Simply Sentiments stamp set that compliments the Simply Word Dies. Stamp the sentiment out on Kraft cardstock and cut out as a strip.
• Lastly adhere the ‘Enjoy’ die cut and sentiment strip on the acetate

Hope you enjoyed learning a fun way to mix and match your pattern paper. Happy papercrafting : )
