Negative Shadow box

 Want to get more bang out of your chipboard purchases? Save those negative pieces after you pop out those chipboard shapes and letters. They make a great shaker box!
Its really easy and adds a bit of interactive fun to your layout!
I used the negative square of chipboard with the number one punched out. First I traced the number one on a piece of patterned cardstock and cut it out with an exacto knife. Then I layered a piece of magic mesh over the opening, on the front side of the chipboard piece. Next I glued the square of card stock with the cutout number one over the magic mesh and the chipboard. I sprinkled confetti into the back of the number one and sealed it by gluing a piece of the same color cardstock as my background over the hole. Just turn it over and voila you have a shaker box!  
In the spirit of fun titles, I also wanted to point out on this layout that I discovered that I did not have any matching chipboard E's for my halloween title, I substituted a bookplate with rub on ee's... and made my title pop!
