Let's explore the features of this card, along with the new products from Honey Bee Stamps that will take your card-making game to new heights!
1. Start by die-cutting and piecing one of the Lovely Layers Lures.
2. To the end of the lure, I attached the cute little earthworm from the Spring Meadow and Dies.
3. Next, attach a clear thread and secure it to the back of the lure. Also (I wished I had done this, hindsight is 20/20) glue a penny or a button to the back of the lure and set it aside to work on the flat shaker.
4. Cut a piece of pattern paper for the background of the shaker. This paper comes from the Vitamin Sea Paper Pad and create the shaker pocket. Before attaching the plastic to the panel, pierce a tiny hole near the top center of the front of the plastic pocket. Thread the end of the clear thread you attached to the lure earlier, from inside the pocket leaving excess line outside the pocket for later use.
(You can create the pocket either by using scrap plastic and wrapping it around the panel or using a premade shaker pocket (yes, the same ones I developed 😉) Click HERE if you need further instruction on this).

5. Once the pocket is made, fill it with your shaker bits. I used AURORA LIGHTS Confetti Mix and close up the pocket. Attach the pocket to a card base.
6. Stamp out and heat emboss in white your sentiment strip using the Hooked On You Stamps and Dies.
7. Shorten the thread that is dangling outside the pocket and attach the sentiment to the clear thread by sandwiching the thread between a few layers of the die-cuts. If done correctly the weight of the lure will pull the sentiment to snug up against the pierced hole you created. (My lure didn't have enough weight and so it didn't work as smoothly as I would have liked it to, but this is how you learn right!?)
8. Finish the outside of the shaker panel by adding some seagrasses. I used some from the Ocean Deep Scene Builder Dies.
9. To embellish a little more I added some fun "water bubbles" using Ombre Pearls- Pearl Stickers.
By following these steps, you can create a unique and interactive flat shaker hooked on your slider lure card that will amaze and delight the recipient. Experiment with different color combinations, patterns, and shaker fillings to customize the card to your liking.
