Elevated Rainbows Shaker Card | Kathleen Schmelz

Hello, Pinkfresh fans! It's Kathleen here, and today I’m sharing a fun shaker card featuring the Elevated Rainbows product suite, perfect to brighten anyone's day! I love creating shaker cards and this stencil & die only product suite makes it so incredibly easy!

*Disclaimer: All products used are linked below as clickable images. If a product isn’t listed, it’s been discontinued.

Let's see how this card came together:

1. Prepare the Base: Cut an A2 top-folding card base from white cardstock.
2. Ink Blended Background: Use the Elevated Rainbows layering stencils with the following colors, then trim down to A2 size & adhere to card front:
   1. • Stencil 1: Cherry Blossom
      • Stencil 2: Sunkissed
      • Stencil 3: Paradise
      • Stencil 4: Citron
3. Build the Dimension: Die cut Elevated Rainbows die (4) times from white cardstock. Stack & glue (3) together, then adhere to ink-blended panel. Fill some openings with glitter or sequins. 
4. Create the Shaker Layer: Attach fourth die cut to an A2-sized acetate panel. Apply adhesive to the back and adhere over the stacked die cuts, sealing in the glitter.
   
5. Add the Sentiment: Heat emboss "Sending you sunshine & rainbows" from You Are My Rainbow stamp in white, then die cut, and ink blend with Paradise.
   
6. Die cut same sentiment from white and light pink cardstock. Adhere the white on top of the pink, slightly offset, then adhere heat embossed sentiment on top, again slightly offset. Adhere sentiment stack to front of card.
   
7. Finishing Touches: Embellish to your liking. I used Silver Metallic Pearls & two small die cut flowers made with the Fresh Florals die and stencils.

Enjoy your beautifully layered and dimensional shaker card! 💖🌈✨

I think this card would be perfect as a Birthday card or for any kind of celebration! You could mix up the colors used for the ink blending or add colored glitter or sequins for even more rainbow fun :)
