Video: Autumn Shaker Card with the September My Monthly Hero Kits

Hello friends!! It’s Channin here and in today’s video I’m creating a fall themed shaker card featuring the elements from the Classic and Premium September My Monthly Hero Kits.

Watch below or on the Hero Arts YouTube channel.

To create this card I first die cut an A2 panel of Sand cardstock with the Coordinating Fall Window Die ( Classic & Premium ). I then ink-blended over the die-cut panel with the included Coloring Layering Stencils ( Classic & Premium ) and several Core Inks. For stencil “a” I used Sand for the mushrooms and acorn and Spicy Mustard and Forever Green for the leaves. For stencil “b” I ink-blended the leaves in Spicy Mustard , Pumpkin and Cranberry and the leaf veins/stems, pinecone, mushrooms and acorn in Cup O’ Joe . For the last stencil, stencil “c” I ink-blended the mushroom tops and leaves in Cranberry and the remaining leaf veins/stems in Espresso .

Once I finished ink-blending with the stencils I ink-blended the corners of the panel with Sand . I then adhered the panel to a Clear Card Panel ( Classic & Premium ) with Precision Glue and set it aside.

Next, I die cut several leaves and mushrooms using the six Leaf Fancy Dies ( Premium ) out of Sand cardstock. I then ink-blended the die-cuts with Spicy Mustard , Pumpkin , Cranberry , Sand and Forever Green Core Inks.

Next, I created a well for my shaker card with foam adhesive onto the front of an A2 top-folding Dove White card base . I then filled the well with my ink-blended die cuts and sequins from the Champagne Sequin Mix . Next, I adhered the window panel to the card front. Lastly, I stamped a sentiment from the Fall Messages Stamp Set ( Classic & Premium ) in Embossing & Watermark Ink onto Pitch Black cardstock. I then poured gold embossing powder over, heat set, trimmed to a strip and then adhered to the card front with foam adhesive.

I hope you enjoyed my card. Thank you so much for stopping by!
