Gold Embossed Fireworks Shaker Card

Glue a piece of gold glitter cardstock to your card base, centring it and leaving a white border on the sides.

Cut a backing panel from cardstock that is narrower than the gold layer, so you see a strip of gold down each side.

Stamp the large Fireworks background stamp onto the backing panel using embossing ink, ensuring full coverage.

Rub an anti-static bag over the stamped area to remove excess powder and ensure clean embossing.

Generously cover the entire stamped area with gold embossing powder.

Tap off excess powder back into the container, then use a heat gun to melt and set the embossing powder until it shines.

Die-cut a circular aperture in the centre of your embossed panel using a circle die.

Die-cut a gold ring from glitter cardstock using two circle dies of different sizes to create a frame.

Glue the gold ring around the edge of the circular aperture, keeping glue only on the gold to maintain neatness.

Attach an acetate panel to the back of the card over the circular hole using double-sided tape.

Apply foam pads around the entire edge of the aperture, pushing them close together so sequins cannot escape.

Apply a second layer of foam pads around the edge in the same way, then add support foam pads to the lower section.

Pour gold sequins into the aperture while it is still open, filling it generously.

Seal the shaker by pressing the pre-cut gold circle backing firmly over the foam pads and sequins.
