Candy corn is sort of a controversial Halloween treat when it comes to whether or not you enjoy eating it. But There is no denying that the candies themselves are pretty darn cute.

I recently received a little shipment of happy mail filled with Scrapbook.com exclusives. The pack included a set of their blending tools with domed foam applicators, one of their hybrid inks, a set of stamps, the medium acrylic stamp block and the Neenah Solar White flat cards. 

With it being so close to Halloween, I wanted to create a fun card for the holiday. I've never made a shaker card before but have always wanted to make one so I thought now was as good a time as any. I purchased a digital cut file of some candy corn shapes from Silhouette and designed my card. 

I didn't have any sheets of double sided foam adhesive (just my favorite squares). But I did have some foam board. So I cut out the shape of the candy corns on white cardstock then traced them onto my white foam board, cutting them out with a craft knife. 

I also cut out the same shape on white cardstock backed with Scrapbook.com's double-sided adhesive sheets, to make the application of the inked candy corn shape easy. I also cut out the full shapes from plastic cardstock and a purple cardstock. 

I used the hybrid ink in Carnival Pink and two Distress Oxides to ink the top layer and also through a stencil onto the flat card front (which I cut down 1/4 inch on 2 sides so I could mount it onto a matching piece of orange cardstock). To diffuse the the background stencil just a bit, I layered a piece of vellum over it. I assembled my candy corns and filled them with some Halloween sprinkles, stamped my sentiment and glued everything down to my card front. 

But what to do with the inked internal cut from the original card? I inked the pieces while still stuck to the backing and there is no point in wasting a perfectly good die cut! So I created a second, more simple card. 

These cards were so simple to make and now I'm obsessed with shaker cards! I've added some things to my Scrapbook.com wishlist now. 

Happy Crafting!
