To make the circle shaker, cut a circle from red card using the largest circle die.

Next using the smallest circle die cut out the centre of the cream circle.
Then add acetate underneath to cover the hole.
Next lay the red circle flat on your desk and add a hand full of crystals to the centre.
Use foam pads to attach the cream circle to the red circle.
If more height is need for the crystals to move around then you will need to add more foam pads for height.
Attach the shaker to the card base.
Next cut out the topper and sentiment and attach to the card base using foam pads.

Attach both to the top of the shaker.
