This CB EF looked like it'd be perfect for a shaker but I'd never made a shaker card before because it seemed a little tricky, especially with a circle. But it was way easier than I'd thought.
The foam tape was too wide so I cut it in half lengthwise. Since the circle on the flower wasn't wide enough to just lay the foam tape down in a square, I snipped the outer edge of the foam tape about every quarter to half inch so it would easily bend around the circle. (Kind of like when you sew set-in sleeves to make the seam curve.)
The only thing I'd do differently is to go around the inside edge of the foam tape with the embossing buddy (or baby powder on a q-tip) BEFORE putting it on the acetate since powder got on the acetate and it was hard to see if I'd gotten all the edges. (Yep, I missed a spot and have to flick it to keep the beads from sticking to the side)

I love your card, it is so cute. I really like shaker cards but don't very many of them because they are a little trickey sometimes. I think I will have to
CASE this one.
