My oldest nephew turned 6 this week!! Since I had this galaxy background (made from a bunch of Distress Oxide ink mop ups and some glimmer mist) sitting on my desk, I thought a fun space card was in order. And the way to add more fun to a card is to make it a shaker card! The fun little star confetti pieces were a free gift with purchase from Kat Scrappiness (they have sooooo many awesome shaker elements!) I die cut a circle for the window to the galaxy, stamped, colored and fussy cut my rocket image and stamped my sentiment. I added the little stars in the shaker panel and popped it up with foam tape. After adhering the rocket to the panel with foam tape, I also added some of the stars to the front of the card.
And here is the shaker in action!

Stamps: PaperTrey Ink "Boy Basics: Out of this World"
