Happy February friends! Starting off the month with this cutie from an older but much loved stamp set from Paper Rose and sharing the way I create my shaker cards so let’s get into it!

Excitingly, this one is up as a video tutorial on the Paper Rose YouTube channel, so come over and check it out!

Paper Rose Products used: Monkey Love Stamp Set and coordinating Die Set, Nesting Rectangle Dies (AU sized), Scattered Hearts Stencil, Paper Rose Inks in Lemon, Lime, Pool, Bubblegum and Grape, Nesting Label Dies 1, Floral Bliss 1.0 Paper Collection 6×6, Smooth White Cardstock, Pastel Confetti Shaker Mix

Other items: Foam Tape (doubled up), liquid glue, acetate, watercolour paper, watercolour paints

Technique: I stenciled the scattered hearts onto a panel of the smooth white cardstock in rainbow order going clockwise from top left and set aside to dry. I stamped and watercoloured my little monkey from the Monkey Love stamp set and after allowing time to dry I die cut her using the coordinating die. I cut a piece of the floral bliss paper using the largest rectangle die and the largest nesting label die then glued my piece of acetate behind the opening. I used my doubled up foam tape on the floral bliss panel to create a well to put in my shaker mix. I then placed the stenciled panel on top of the exposed foam tape to seal up my shaker element. I glued this to my card base, added my little monkey friend to the bottom right and added my sentiment strip across the top of the shaker window.
