Happy Friday!! How is your holiday card making going? I’m still creating in hopes of getting them all mailed out by Thanksgiving!! I have a sweet shaker card to share created with products from My Pretty Things!! If you haven’t seen their holiday release, you should really check it out!!
I started by stamping the adorable images from the Santa’s North Pole Stamp Set onto white cardstock with Copic-friendly black ink. I colored them with Copic markers, then used the Coordinating Dies to cut them out. I stamped “North Pole” onto the cute sign with green dye ink.
Next, I die-cut the largest tag in the Everyday Tags Die Set three times from white cardstock. I blended two of the tags with Mermaid Lagoon Distress and Tumbled Glass Inks. The center was die-cut from one of the tags with the largest rectangle die included in the same die set. I adhered acetate to the back of the opening in the tag, then added foam tape to the back. A combination of the Snow Flurries Embellishment Mix and the Sweet Memories Shaker Mix were added for the shaker bits, then the other ink-blended tag was adhered to the back. I trimmed the remaining white tag to create a snow bank and adhered it to the bottom of the shaker tag with liquid glue. The polka dot paper is from the Sweet Memories Paper Pack. It was die-cut with a rectangle die, then adhered to an A2 white card base. The tag was adhered with liquid glue, offsetting it to the left a bit. The die-cut images were adhered to the front of the tag, also using liquid glue.
The sentiments are from the Woodland Christmas Friends Stamp Set. They were gold heat embossed onto white cardstock, cut out with the Coordinating Dies, then popped up with foam tape. The Put A Bow On It – 3 Dies were die-cut from brushed metallic gold cardstock, adhered together, then adhered to the top of the tag. At this point, I felt like I need something else at the top of the tag so I stamped the string of hearts from the Woodland Christmas Friends Stamp Set onto white cardstock with Copic-friendly black ink, colored them with Copics, then cut them out with the Coordinating Dies. I adhered them to the top of the tag with liquid glue and trimmed the excess from the edges. I added some shine to the reindeer’s eye with a black glaze pen and highlights with a white gel pen and this card was finished.
That does it for me today!! Be sure to check out the holiday release from My Pretty Things!!
Have a wonderful weekend!!
