| My Sketch |
As I was talking to my mom, telling her about the card, it hit me to make it a shaker card and put the guy inside the machine. Cool.
I made the guy front and back. Cut from (Everyday Paper Dolls 3.25" H), must have safety glasses, grayish hair, blue work clothes. I used goggle eyes and small round punch for mouth.
Front: (Modified the arms and moved them so it looks like he's throwing he's arms up)
Now for the CNC machine. A short description of a CNC machine is metal box with a window (to see work inside). I used gray paper for the machine (cut two) and acetate/clear plastic for the window. Printed the brand name "Milltronics" 0.61"H with black paper.
Now to put it together…Wait. It won't work where would I write a sentiment? Oh man, there goes my design. Okay, a card base 6" x 4.5".
Man no longer needs to be two sided, Oh bother.
I still made the CNC a shaker with foam tape and Recollections, Tinsel glitter silver, and Micro beads clear.
I couldn't get *rid of the static cling. I tried dryer sheet. What a mess. I'll live with the static. I think it still looks okay.
So, I glued him to the front of the card using Zip-Dry, then the CNC shaker over him.
Inside the card, I used Stardust color pens, to jazz up the letters.
The font is from Birthday Cakes cartridge.
*After the fact, I get a tip from GinaK Designs (StampTV)"How to Avoid Static Cling".
Wash the acetate with soapy water, rinse, and pat dry.

"Next shaker card, Gina; next shaker card".
(Gina is very talented. She has a great web site, where she teaches techniques and inspires.)
Oh, the best part was Don's reaction to the card,"Hey, it's me and my machine! How did you do that, wow!" The card was passed around and shaken by all the family and friends.
Thank you for taking the time to look at my project.
