• Corner starburst image- 1-3/4" x 2"

When you combine these stamps with the coordinating dies, you will be able to build the following sentiments and even more.  (Hint: you can easily trim the last "s" off of the die-cut word "sprinkles" for more versatility...

The innovative dies that are available exclusively through this kit are going to be one of your favorite go-to products in your stash that you will find yourself grabbing again and again, not JUST for shaker elements either!

 Betsy thought of absolutely everything when designing these amazing dies!  They take all of the work out of making shaker elements, so you can just have the fun of picking out the colors and deciding what to fill them with!  Let me show you just how easy it is!

Each of the three shaped die collections included are able to cut all of your layers for easy assembly.  

• A "backer" that serves as the base for the shaker element
• Scalloped frame to go around the backer, if desired
• Thick adhesive foam
• Clear cardstock for shaker front
• Colored cardstock stitched frame topper

You simply peel and stick the foam adhesive layer onto the backer and surrounding scalloped border.

Add your sprinkles, whether they be die-cut or any of the test tube fillers included in the kit.

Layer the clear cardstock layer and stitched frame right on top of that to hold the sprinkles in.  Viola, done in just a few minutes!  And everything is a perfect fit!

 

Here is a video that Betsy put together showing you a bit more about how easy this kit is to work with and just how many things you can do with it!

Now, you can't make shakers without some amazing *sprinkles* to fill them with!  Betsy has hand-selected TEN of her all time favorites, all included in ths kit!  Each filler is contained in a small test tube measuring about 3" long and 1/2" in diameter, complete with a cork stopper.

A sturdy signature pink box is included to hold all TEN of your new goodies!

Betsy has designed a complimentary test tube insert you can print, cut and fold to insert in your box if you wish.  This file will be emailed to you once you purchase your kit!

It just finishes everything off and looks adorable!  You'll want to leave this out on your desk all the time just so you can enjoy looking at it!  *wink*

Here is a closer look at all TEN of the shaker fillers (please note that some mixes may slightly vary).

Aren't they all just to die for!!!  The fun part is you can use each filler as is, or you can start mixing and matching colors and textures for even more options!  

If you wanted a bit of a different look to showcase your fabulous fillers, there are four mini glassine bags included, each measuring about 2" x 3-3/8".  So, so cute!  Not to mention quick and easy!

Betsy has only selected the absolute BEST for this kit, so she selected a high quality linen paper for her bright and colorful patterned paper collection to be printed on!  This is the same stock that our Monthly Moments paper pads are printed on, so you know this will be great too!

Here are a few details about the Shakers + Sprinkles paper pad...

• The pad measures 8-1/2" x 11"
• There are 18 sheets included, 3 sheets each of 6 designs
• This is printed on a very high quality linen cardstock

• The colors used in this collection are Simply Chartreuse, Limeade Ice, Hawaiian Shores, Aqua Mist, Raspberry Fizz, Orange Zest, Harvest Gold, Summer Sunrise and Hibiscus Burst.
