Fishbowl Birthday Fishes Shaker Style Card

Had fun making this shaker style birthday card using a CD storage pocket. Bought the CD storage pockets in a pkg of 50 from Office Max for $7.99.

First I cut a piece of white cardstock 5" x 5" but trimmed it to 4 3/4" x 4 3/4" to fit inside the CD storage pocket. Cut a piece of blue vellum 4 3/4" x 4 3/4". Used Cricut to cut the fishbowl. Used Craftin Desert Divas stamp/die set for the fish, coral (pink pattern Tim Holtz cardstock) & sentiment. Attached the fishbowl to the vellum with foam tape. Used foam tape to attach the fish & coral to the vellum. Placed the scene inside the CD storage pocket. Added the beads. Cut a 2nd fishbowl and used the outer negative for the front of the card.
