Shaker Card created with Lakes Club Stamp Kit

Follow these steps to create the card:

1. Trim a 5.5x8.5" piece of Dark Teal and fold in half to create a card base.

2. Use a trimmer to divide the 8.5x11 Text Weight Print into four individual sections of artwork.

5. Punch several 1/4" holes into the card base/panel to create added interest. The sequins are larger than the punched holes and will not fall through.
