I made this shaker card to celebrate the ruby wedding anniversary (40th) of my brother and sister-in-law which is today. I made it using the new Party Alphabet dies and the Forever Plaid 3D Embossing Folder.
Colours used in this card are:
To recreate the ruby anniversary card, you will need:
Thick Basic White card – 8” by 7” scored at 3½”
Season of Elegance dsp – 7¾” by 3¼”
Thick Basic White card – 7½” by 3”
Window Sheet – 7⅜” by 2⅞” x 2
Secret Sea card – 3” by ½”
I lined the letters RUBY on the 7½” by 3” panel of Thick Basic White card making sure to get them as straight as possible. I held them in position with small pieces of Washi Tape from my stash and die cut them out. I removed the letters and set them aside as I did not need them for this card, but I did need the inner pieces from the R and the B.

The negative die cut panel and the inner pieces from the R and B were then embossed using the Forever Plaid 3D Embossing Folder. On the back of the embossed piece, I added one of the pieces of Window Sheet using Mini Glue Dots and the inner pieces were added in the correct places with Mini Glue Dots.

With the whole piece face down, I applied Foam Adhesive Strips around all 4 sides, between all the letters and supporting all the pieces which intrude into the letters. I dropped a pinch of sequins into each letter. I ran a bead of Multipurpose Liquid on top of the Adhesive Strip and added the second piece of Window Sheet overtop to seal the sequins in.

The whole piece was then added to the layer of Season of Elegance dsp before being added to the Thick Basic White card front.

I stamped the sentiment from the Blooming Phrases stamp set with Versamark ink onto the small piece of Secret Sea card. I covered it with White Embossing Powder and set it using my Heat Tool before adding it to the card front using Mini Glue Dots.

A scattering of Sequins finished the card.
