I decided to take a break on some Halloween projects that I’ve been working on to create a Fall Shaker Box Card using my Cricut.
{This post contains affliate links referencing products used}
The shaker box is cut from my Cricut and Tags, Bag and Boxes cartridge and I used my Gypsy to weld the leaf on the front. I filled the box with different color leaves, red, yellow, brown, green and orange die cut leaves and glued a piece of transparency under the leaf box cover. I also dded some Raffia clippings inside for additional bulk and used raffia o tie the button bow. The “Fall” sentiment is cut from Creative Memories Cheerful Seasons cartridge.
Since this is a shaker box that I wanted to make into a card, I attached an additional piece of card stock on back. I used the left over leaf cut from the front to stamp my “Thinking of You” sentiment on.
Thanks for looking!

September 30, 2011 at 8:54 pmGreat shaker box! Have you ever seen the pasta that you can buy in the shape of leaves? Wouldn’t that be cool to put that pasta in the shaker box and then give it to someone as a gift?
