'Road Trip Adventure' Easel/Shaker Card Card Size - 10.5 cm x 14.8 cm  (1/4 of an A4 sheet) Hello Everyone, Welcome to my next project for Couture Creations using the  wonderful Sunburnt Country Collection. This project is an easel card with a difference - I added a shaker to the front panel. 1.  I started die-cutting with the nesting dies.   I numbered the dies as 1 from the centre then outwards. To create the frame for the shaker, I taped number 4 and 5 dies together and cut 2 out of the foam sheet and one from the red cardstock.  (The inner waste cut from the red cardstock is used as a label for the inside of the card).   I then used die 5 to cut the acetate and from sheet 11A as shown. Die 6 was used for sheet 8A and red cardstock.  I cut the red cardstock in half lengthwise to create a mat for the pattern paper sheet. 2.  Prepare all the elements with this die set.  The 'Road Trip' stamp is embossed with white embossing powder.  I stamped the 'Adventure' stamp onto the Acetate but later changed it to white embossing  powder as well.    3.  Die-cut white card with number 7 die to create a card front panel.  For the Easel base, trim the white card to 14.5cm x 21cm, divide by half, score and fold.   Keep it folded and place the die so it overlaps the fold.  Once it is die-cut, divide one side by half,  score and fold.   Apply double-sided tape and glue to the lower part of the double-folded side front only.  Place the front panel onto this section.  4.  Using a water brush I coloured the glass beads with a bit of red ink and water to go into the shaker. 5.  I die-cut the remaining pieces and inked their edges with brown ink. Then fussy cut another flower image from the patterned paper and decoupaged it on top of the flower on the panel.  Place cardboard between the panels before adhering them.  Glue the shaker pieces together.   In the shaker I added beads, sequins and die-cut kangaroos. 6.  All the pieces just need to be glued in place as shown to finish.
