My first shaker card :)

Hiya bloggy friends! Here it is, my first shaker card...and I'm hooked! ;) This was super easy, I swear. I stamped the jar from the April 2013 set by PeachyKeenStamps. Then I just cut out the inside. I traced the opening so I could tell where I needed to stamp the little lightening bugs. I colored the bugs, and added acetate {from stamp packaging} to make my window. Then I filled my shaker box with sequins and some glitter. FUN! 
I added the lid to keep my lightening bugs inside. ;) The greeting is from the You're Brilliant set from MyCreativeTime
I apologize for the pictures, the shine from the acetate makes it hard to get a good shot. Here you can kinda see the shine on the lightening bugs I added with my Sakura Stardust pen. OH and btw, the cute lightening bugs are also from the April 2013 set from PeachyKeenStamps.

So, whaddya think??? I made another shaker card tonight, but I can't share it till the new release from PeachyKeenStamps makes its debut. :)

p.s. If you just search "shaker card" on YouTube, you'll find lots of tutorials. :)
