Hi everyone! Since Valentine’s Day is only a day away I want to share a shaker card I created using Eileen Hull’s Embroidery Hoop Diecut and a few of her other thinlits. So let’s get started!

First, I placed the Embroidery Hoop Diecut onto a piece of cardstock from the Rouge 6″x8″ Paper Collection and did the same steps for a piece of Matboard. I cut the top part off each hoop.

Second, I cut two of the hoops from Foam Adhesive Sheets and cut the top off both hoops.

Third, I cut a 6″x12″ piece of cardstock from the Foundation 1 Rouge Cardstock and folded in half to create a 6″x6″ card base. I removed the backing from the adhesive foam and placed on top of each other and placed onto the card.

Fourth, I adhered the inner circle of the hoop inside of the outer hoop.

Fifth, I placed an assortment of sequins, gems and Micro Beads within the foam hoop. Next, trace the outer circle of the hoop onto a piece of Acetate and cut out. Remove the backing from the foam hoop and place the circle acetate onto the hoop.

Sixth, apply adhesive and place the circle from the hoop, that’s cut from patterned cardstock over the foam hoop.

Seventh, I cut to fit a fancy pom pom trim to fit around the hoop and adhered.

Eighth, I cut an envelope and smaller leaf (Rouge Paper Collection) and the small, medium and large size hearts (felt) from the Envelope, Folder and Flowers Thinlits. I lightly inked the edges of the envelope and glued together and adhered to the corner of the hoop.

Ninth, I cut another piece of cardstock slightly smaller than the envelope, used a Corner Rounder on the top since it will be seen and lightly inked the edges. I cut the “love” sentiment from the Journaling Words Thinlits (retired) and the letters “Y”, “O” and “U” from the Tiled Alphanumeric Thinlits and placed onto the card and then placed in the envelope.

Tenth, I glued the medium and large size hearts to the upper side of the hoop and the small heart to the corner of the envelope. I added sequins, loops of thread, pearl top pins and a crocheted flower with the leaf from the Envelope, Folder and Flowers Thinlits to finish the card.

This shaker card the theme can easily be changed to suit any occasion, birthday, get well, thinking of you, just because, etc. Question, do you make cards to give? If you do or don’t why? Leave your comment below.
