My first post and a shaker card

I have been creating cards and party decorations for over two years now. And even though I am still learning, I was convinced by my sister and friends to start a blog and show the items I have created.  

I decided to try my hand at making a shaker card. After watching a few tutorials and then having to scrap the first attempt (must remember to take the Post-it tape off the stamp), I must say I am fairly pleased with the way it turned out. 

This card is for my mother in law. Her birthday just happens to be the day before mine. 

• I made a top folding A2 card and cut a 3" circle out of the center. 
• The green ring was cut on my Cricut Explore by welding two circles together, one at 2.95" and 3.25". 
• The clear window was also cut on my Explore at  3.4".
