For the February Cherry Box, we have teamed up with Sizzix to bring you a great selection of products for your February crafting. Some of the items that are in this box that we used for this project are the Jar of Flowers Die, Jar Shaker Domes, Paper Sculpting Kit, Primrose Sequins & Beads, and Express Glue. 

I wanted to make a more simple layout so the main focal point would be the shaker jar and all of the flowers that I would surround it with. I began by backing my photos and cutting out a 7" circle as the backdrop to my photos. Next, I splattered on some Prima Liquid Acrylic in the color of crimson. I used some white thickers for the title and held the journaling on with a clothespin from my stash. Then I got to the fun part of making the shaker and flowers! Check out the video below to see the whole process.

I feel like a shaker makes a card 100% better as it is now something fun and playful! For this card, I started with a woven embossing folder to emboss the background. Then I filled the jar with my sequins and covered it up with a  white piece of cardstock and glued it onto my background. Next, I started filling it in with flowers that I shaped with the paper sculpting kit. To finish it off I added a heart on the jar that was part of the die set.

Thanks for checking out how I used my jar shaker domes and dies! We would love to see what you create with your Cherry Box so make sure to tag us on social media and use the hashtag #thecherrybox!
