This card came together during my Crafty Besties podcast livestream, and since I do not really walk through every detail on the recording, I wanted to break down exactly how I made it here on the blog! I started by printing out a few of the papers from the Sassy's LLC Emergency Card Kit 109 Summer Fun collection, trimming the yellow scallop design to fit an A2 card base, then cutting a 2-1/4 x 4-1/4" rectangle out of the center of that panel so I would not waste any of my pretty printed paper on a piece that was just going to get covered anyway.
I used Guppy Stellar Ink to darken the edges of both of those scallop panels, then printed and trimmed one of the beach scene panels down to 4 x 5-1/4" and a separate panel down to 2 x 4" featuring the cutest little capybara floating along in a flamingo floaty with the sentiment "Thanks for keeping me afloat." I glued the sentiment panel onto the smaller scallop panel, then attached the larger scallop panel onto a top folding A2 card base to start building everything together.

For the fun part, I took the beach scene panel I had printed and cut and turned it into a full panel shaker using clear plastic, filling it with a mix of sequins and shaker beads from Pretty Pink Posh, including Aqua Shimmer Confetti Mix, Blue Shimmer Confetti Mix, Birthday Wish Shaker Beads, and Evergreen Shaker Beads, then sealed the shaker closed.
I added 1mm foam adhesive to the back of the shaker panel and added it to the center of the card front. I then adhhered the smaller scallop and sentiment panel with double sided adhesive and attached it right to the center of the shaker. This card looks so simple at first glance, but the printed paper is gorgeous on its own, and adding that shaker element gives it so much movement and the best little rattling sound when you shake it!
