Maple Leaf Shaker Closure
Good Morning,
Today I am sharing a quick video of a Maple Leaf Shaker closure I made for a gate-closing mini album. This is one time where taking longer to finish a project worked out in my favor. I like how the shaker adds a little-unexpected fun but still conveys the fall theme of this album.
The Maple Leaf Shaker was part of my most recent Tonic Studio’s craft kit. You can read my “fangirl” post here My New Favorite Craft Kit – Tonic Studios
All the product in the video came from the most recent craft kit except for the Mirror card and the Green sequins, those were in the previous month kit. The mirror card goes through the die cutter beautiful capturing every detail a die has to offer without damaging the finish. I did put it through the Sizzix a couple of times just because it is so thick, but it cuts clean. The mirror card is a new way for me to add a little shine to a project without having to break out the glitter.
Below is the quick video!
On a side note, I am still getting over my shyness with being on video and the mechanics of it all. At least I finally figured out how to not have the tripod in the shot!
Thanks for stopping by and having a look!
The printed paper hides a pocket for another tag that can hold two (front and back) 4×4 size photos. In the original design process, this would be it, but something happens when I start putting things together, and I can’t stop adding more… 
So when you close up the book and open it to the right, you will see these two pages. The frame on the right will hold a 2 x 3 picture. Again the white paper hides a pocket at the top for another square tag. The page on the left contains two ATC size tags and hidden cut-a-part from the collection which has a spot for a picture. That was as far as I could go without it getting too bulky and falling over.
As much as I love paper crafting, there is a joy in figuring out the construction process and engineering a fix for these projects.
