Coffee Time Shake it Up

How do you like your coffee??  Remember that commercial?

I love my coffee= in the morning, afternoon, evening - well, anytime - with milk and sweetener,  and now as shaker.  Sounded intriguing??

I did think of using real  coffee beans  to make this shaker card, but I refused to share my hoarde, so coffee colored sequins were substituted instead.

On a top fold Garden Green card base,  I adhere a Whisper White piece of card stock layered with Coffee Break DSP.  This layer has an oval die cut in the middle near the top. 

Using 2 sizes of oval framelits a Whisper White frame is die cut and adhered around the front oval window .Window sheet slightly larger than the original oval is adhered to the wrong side.

Here's a tip I've learned making shaker cards this week - apply some embossing buddy to the inside window sheet and edges of the shaker unit to prevent static cling - allowing the shaker elements to shake freely.

The coffee cup, lid and sleeve were stamped,  die cut, and adhered to a piece of Crumb Cake card stock .  I used the same pattern on the cup sleeve as on the outside of the card.

The shaker was assembled in the usual manner with foam tape around the oval and the card stock edges.  As mentioned I used coffee colored shaker elements (non SU) .  The card front and the Crumb Cake layer were adhered together and was then  adhered to the card front.

The sentiment is from the Coffee Break stamp set.  It was stamped in Early Espresso, punched with a large oval punch and adhered to some Early Espresso card stock punched with the Pretty Label Punch.

Some die cut coffee beans decorate  the bottom of the shaker unit on the left side
