Now that you have read all the particulars, I can introduce you to the S4-233 Labels Nine die template!

Here is my finished project.

 

For this project, you will need the following supplies:

• S4-233 Labels Nine Die Templates
• I2-1004 Flowers Impressabilities
• S4-166 Ric Rac Scalloped Pierceabilities
• Black Magic Cardstock by Core'dinations
• White & Yellow Cardstock
• Transparency Film or Acetate sheet
• Adhesive - I used Vellum E-Z runner, E-Z Squares & Black 3d foam squares from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L
• Thoughtful Messages Clear Stamp set by Hero Arts
• Black Chalk Ink Pad by Colorbox
• yellow ribbon
• sanding block
• copper beads

 To make this shaker card, you will need S4-233 Labels Nine #4 & 6 die templates. To determine which die is which, begin with the smallest as #1, the next size as #2 and so on. 

See how I placed the die templates?  The outside S4-233 Labels Nine die template has the points on the top and bottom and the inside S4-233 Labels Nine die template has the points on each side.

I chose a black/yellow piece of cardstock from the Black Magic Collection by Core'dinations.  Place this paper black side down on the S4-233 Labels Nine die templates and feed into the Wizard to cut/emboss.

This is what they should look like.

 

You will also need to cut/emboss one #6 S4-233 Labels Nine die template out of black cardstock and one #5 S4-233 Labels Nine die template out of white cardstock.  Stamp your sentiment onto the white die cut using a black ink pad.

 Now you should have these pieces to assemble your shaker:

 

 

Now place the large black S4-233 Labels Nine die template with the sentiment attached on top of the frame being sure to line up the points of  S4-233 Labels Nine die template.

To complete this card, emboss the I2-1004 Impressabilities Flowers in your Wizard onto a 4 3/4 x 3 1/2"  piece of white cardstock and then a 4 3/4 x  2 1/4" piece of the Core'dinations black/yellow.  The yellow side of the cardstock should be facing the I2-1004 Impressabilities Flowers template.  Sand the black paper to reveal the yellow core.

 

To get that great scalloped detail at the bottom of your yellow & black cardstocks you will need the S4-166 Ric Rac Scalloped Pierceabilities #1 Die Template (the one with the heart in the middle!).  I cut the yellow piece of cardstock at 5 X 5 1/4".  After cutting the scalloped detail, your yellow cardstock should measure 5 x 5".

For my second project, I made a box with a “window”!  

I made a small gift box with a “window” cut from the Labels 9 die template.  Then I decorated the window.  I made a matching card and envelope for the project. Come back right here on July 27 ~ or subscribe to my blog~ for a tutorial on how to make this great project!

Debbie,
It's been a loooong time since I've made a shaker card....but your card sure does make it look fun. Maybe it's time to shake things up a bit in my craft room and make one. Love the distressing. Also love the frames you made. I was half tempted to overlook this die, but your cards and projects sure make it look like a must have.
