Hello my crafty spooky friends! Justin Adkins here, and, today, I am sharing a sweet and ghoulish creation featuring products from the August 2024 Release! I used the Be My Boo? stamp set, along with the Halloween Trick or Treat word die set to create this shaker card! I was also inspired by the Electric Ghosts Fabulously Glossy A2 Card Fronts for the color options used for this card!

Now, let's get into some creepy details for how this card came together!
I started off this card the way that I always do: stamping out my images from the Be My Boo? stamp set and coloring them up with my Copic Markers. I cut the images out and set them aside.
Next, I took the Halloween Trick or Treat Word Die Set and cut out the "Trick or Treat" letters from yellow cardstock. I distressed the dies with Wild Honey Distress Oxide Inks and set them aside (Pro Tip: Keep the die cut negative, I'll be using that shortly)!
Using the 3.5" Connected Circle Shaker Dies, I die cut the circle frame from blue cardstock. I also traced the outer circle on acetate and hand cut the acetate out. I distressed the edges of my blue circle frame with Prize Ribbon Distress Ink. I adhered my circle frame on top of my hand cut circle acetate window with liquid adhesive. I grabbed the die cut negative of the Trick or Treat sentiment and placed it over the acetate. Using liquid adhesive, I adhered the sentiment onto my shaker window, placing each die cut into the negative spaces. Once dry, I lined the back of the frame with foam tape.
I grabbed one of the prints from the Electric Ghost Fabulously Glossy A2 Card Fronts and put some of the Hi, Boo Sequins in the center of the panel. I removed the foam tape backing for my shaker circle frame, and placed it in the center on my card panel. Using a combination of liquid adhesive and foam tape, I adhered each of my Be My Boo? ghosts and a few sequins as well. I finished my card by adhering the panel to an A2-size card base and was completed!
