I've been itching to use the new Corner Bookmark Dies from Art Impressions, and the May sketch from the Papercrafter's Inner Circle group on Facebook was the perfect project.
Scroll down to see the sketch, which features a window and flowers... so I pulled out four of the Ai paperpacks: 6012 - Basic Yellow PP, 6010 - Basic Pink PP, 6009 - Basic Green PP and 5742 - Easter PP, and started die cutting.
For the window, the frame found in the 5543 - Journal Template Die Set is a lovely, large frame that is ideal for a shaker, so I cut it out of some taupe cardstock, and after cutting a rectangle from my patterned paper, I adhered it over some clear acetate. The panel was attached to my gingham background with 3D foam adhesive, which I also used to create an enclosed rectangle where I added my shaker bits. Once everything was adhered to the base, the shaker was created.
After cutting and adhering all my flowers around the frame, I die cut the Hello from the 5718 - Mini Journal Template set in gold metallic cardstock, layering it twice for extra stability, then glued it to my card.
The set also includes these cute bookmark corner dies! I cut out a couple of them in coordinating cardstock and attached a flower to each (took me less than 5 minutes to make these!). I'm going to include these with the card as a little something for the recipients.
