I ended up creating a fun shaker bag that features the Summer Paradise sequins and the cloud felties.

Supplies: transparency (American Crafts), pattern paper (My Mind's Eye and American Crafts), sequins (SpiegelMom Scraps), felties (SpiegelMom Scraps), doily (doodlebug Designs), adhesive (hot glue), die (Spell Binders and Heidi Swapp), manual die cutter (Spellbinders) and small gift bag.

   Here is a tip on how to attach the transparency to the paper bag without losing the sequins. With a hot glue gun glue the transparency to the bag along three of the sides, fill the opening with the sequins and glue shut.

 I love those felt clouds with the hot air balloon print.
