My inspiration project showcases many of the new fall products, all combined to make the sweetest apple cinnamon shaker card! Here are the Pretty Pink Posh products I used:

Apple Shaker Dies – NEW!
Layered Leaf Lattice Stencils – NEW!
Autumn Shaker Beads – NEW!
Stitched Torn Rectangles Dies
Big Fall Cupcake Dies – NEW!
Fall Bouquet Stamp Set – NEW!
Fall Bouquet Coordinating Dies – NEW!
Fall Basket Dies
Fall Mug Additions Dies
Autumn Days Clay Confetti Mix
Matte Gold Confetti Mix

My first step was to stencil the background with the new Layered Leaf Lattice Stencils using Gathered Twigs Distress Ink and Terracotta Pawsitively Saturated Ink on Rustic White Cardstock. I distressed the edges a bit with Gathered Twigs and then splattered the panel with Crooked Broomstick Mica Stain.

After stenciling, I die cut the panel using the largest Stitched Torn Rectangles before using the Apple Shaker Dies to then die cut the apple from the center area. For this step, I used the smaller, inside apple die.

Next, I attached a piece of acetate cut to size over the die cut space on the reverse side to create the shaker window. Then, I used the Apple Shaker Dies to die cut a frame for the apple and inked it with Brick Pawsitively Saturated Ink before attaching it to the card front, framing the shaker window. I also die cut the apple stem and leaves, inked them, and attached those as well.

To construct the shaker, I started with a piece of Rustic White Cardstock trimmed to 4 1/4 x 5 1/2″ to be the base of the shaker card. I inked the center area, where the apple shaker window will be aligned, with Brick Pawsitively Saturated Ink. This will be the background of the shaker window and the body of the apple. Then, on the reverse side of the stenciled panel, I used foam strips to outline the apple and covered the rest of the panel with foam tape. I filled the shaker area with a combination of the new Autumn Shaker Beads, Autumn Days Clay Confetti Mix, and the Matte Gold Confetti Mix before placing the shaker base panel onto the foam strips/tape.

I die cut the remaining elements from white cardstock and inked them with a combination of Distress Inks and Pawsitively Saturated Inks. I used elements from the new Big Fall Cupcake Dies as well as from the Fall Basket Dies and Fall Mug Additions Dies and attached them to my card front using both liquid adhesive and foam squares.

Lastly, I stamped a sentiment from the new Fall Bouquet Stamp Set with brown ink and then die cut it with the coordinating die. I distressed the edges with Gathered Twigs Distress Ink before attaching it to the shaker window. And finally, a scattering of a few Matte Gold Confetti pieces completes this apple cinnamon shaker card.

Thanks for stopping by, and I hope all the incredible inspiration along the hop gets you inspired to start crafting with some of the coziest new autumn-themed products from the latest Pretty Pink Posh release!
