Halloween Birthday Card

Hi Everyone,

Here is a card I made for one of my daughter's friends. It is his birthday tomorrow and my daughter wanted to use the skull embellishement that I had made awhile ago and just had never used.

I turned the skull cut from the Paper Doll Dress Up Cartridge into a "shaker embellishment" I was pretty pleased with how it turned out but hadn't found a use for it until now.

"Shaker cards" are really easy to make and they pack a lot of WOW factor.

To make this card;
- Cutout the skull from the Paper Doll Dress Up cartridge
- Attach a piece of acetate (Old protective covers for the cricut mats work great!) to the back of your skull so it covers the eye and nose openings
-Use the Outside Edge pieces of your Stampin Up dimensionals (Foam tape would work too) to create a "box" of dimensionals around the eyes and nose of the skull. Make sure you don't leave any spaces otherwise your glitter will fall out.
-Fill your "box" about 1/2 to 2/3 full of chunky glitter
-Adhere pop dots to the extremities of your cricut cut
-Take the paper backing off of your pop dots
-Adhere a piece of black cardstock to your cricut cut
-Turn your skull cut over. Freehand cut a shadow around your skull.
-Now your piece is ready to add to your card front or scrapbook layout.
