Double Embossed Shaker Card + Stampin' Up! Year-End Close-Out Sale

I saw Wendy Cranford of Luvin' Stampin' use this double embossing technique on a shaker card and LOVED it!!   

Here are the two embossing techniques:

1. Place a 4"x5-1/4" piece of Vellum cardstock in the embossing folder (Winter Snow used here) and run it through a die-cut machine.  Remove the vellum from the folder and admire the pure white of the embossed snowflakes!
2. Press an ink pad on the inside of the same embossing folder used in the first technique (I used Real Red).  Press it on the side that has the Stampin' Up! logo.  Lay a 4"x5-1/4" piece of Whisper White cardstock on the non-inked side, close the folder, and run it through your die-cut machine.  Remove the cardstock and clean the folder with a baby wipe or by running it under water.  The cardstock will be Real Red in the debossed areas and the embossed/raised snowflakes will be white.  Very pretty look!  

To make the shaker card, first glue the inked embossed piece to a 5-1/2"x8-1/2" Thick Whisper White card base.  

Next, nest 2 Rectangle Stitched Dies on a 5-3/8"x4-1/8" piece of Whisper White cardstock and run it through a die-cut machine.  This creates the frame.  Glue the embossed vellum to the back of the frame.  

Now apply Foam Adhesive Strips on the back side of the frame, along the inside edge.  Make sure there are no gaps (gaps will allow your shaker pieces to fall out and we don't want that).  

Put a couple pinches of Sequins For Everything on the card base (these no-hole sequins are SO fun to use in shaker cards!).

Remove the liner from the Foam Adhesive Strips and attach that panel to the card base.  Press firmly along all four sides to create a tight seal.  That's it!  Have fun shaking your card and hearing the sequins rattle!

• For Unto Us stamp set
• Red Foil
• Stitched So Sweetly Dies (sentiment)
• Versamark ink, White Stampin' Emboss Powder, and a Heat Tool (for the sentiment)
