Winnie & Walter Leading Lady - Week 3, Seasonal Shakers

Hi there Winnie and Walter friends and fans, it's that time again! It is an honour to bring you the next installment of Winnie and Walter Leading Lady inspiration. I hope you have been enjoying it so far, I know I have!

Wherever you are in the world, September sees you entering a new season, whether it be Spring, Autumn or Fall! So I thought I'd shake things up a little and create a Winnie and Walter seasonal celebration with...

SEASONAL SHAKERS...
The front panels for each of the shaker cards are created using Winnie and Walter cut files - Winter, Spring and Summer The Big, The Bold and the Seasons, and Autumn A Tree for all Seasons.

To create a shaker card you will also need:

• Fabulous Winnie and Walter stamps
• White cardstock for front panel and card base
• Sequins
• Clear acetate sheet from your local office supply store
• Foam sheet from your local craft store
• Circle die (to cut the foam layer)
• Patterned paper (or be brave and make your own!)
• (Lots) of double-sided tape!

Shaker cards are fun to make, but they can be tricky to photograph!
