Hello everyone,
today I made a shaker card with "The Cat's Meow" set, which is part of the new release by Mama Elephant. When I saw this set, I immediately fell in love with it and knew I had to buy it.
The frame for the shaker window was die cut with the Mama Elephant "Madison Avenue Framed Tag" dies. For the balloons I grabbed the Avery Elle "Letter Balloon Dies" set.

First I colored the cats and all letters. Afterwards I placed the cats behind the frame die cut und cut off the overhanging pieces of paper. Because I wanted to have my cats in front of the shaker mechanism, I glued my piece of acetate behind them.
For my background I stamped a piece of cardstock with the My Favorite Things "Bold Diagonal Stripes" in Hero Arts "Charcoal" bestempelt. Before I adhered the background to the shaker I put some sequins by Neat & Tangled in.
The finished shaker was then glued to the onto the card base, which I colored with Ranger "Broken China" on the front of the card base.
To finish off my card, I covered the die cut and colored letters with Glossy Accents and put them onto my card. With a fine marker I added the strings for the balloons.
