Take a black cardstock and cut it into 12” by 19” (12 inches length and 19 inches wide ) and score at 0.5”,4.5”,4.5”,4.5”,4.5”,0.5” =19”
Fold the cardstock in half.
Cut scored 0.5” at the both end, either from the upper half fold or lower half fold (i.e cut 0.5” wide and 6” length).
Do accordion fold, fold the first flap in one side then fold the second flap on opposite side and so on.
Apply glue on 0.5” side for the right side and stick on the inner side of the flap to make it a pocket for tags. Do the same for the left side.
Take a 6.5” by 4.3” yellow cardstock (6.5 inches length and 4.3 inches wide).
Round the corners (optional).
In the same way make other tags.

Paste simple stories papers and distressed the corners of the papers to add effect..
Decorate it with paper collection notes and glitter sheets.

Step 4: Making of Shaker Card

Cut the black and green cardstock in 5” by 5”(5 inches length and 5 inches wide).
Draw the structure of cake in black & green cardstock and cut the cake by using paper cutter as shown in the picture.
Cut the black cut cake from the outside (thickness of your own choice).
Paste the black border paper cake on the green cake sheet ( this is just to add border).
Paste the acetate sheet on one side of the shaker base.
Paste the foaming tape at the edges of the cake as shown in the picture (tape should be on same side where you paste the acetate sheet).
Place the glitter stars and dots between the tape (on the top of acetate sheet).
Take a pattern paper which you want to make the base of the shaker paper( background of acetate sheet) and peal the otherside of the foaming tape and paste the pattern paper on it.
Note: size of pattern paper should be large and also apply some extra glue on the foaming tape before pasting the pattern paper.
