Day 5 of my Christmas Countdown already – where is it going! I hope you’re keeping up and enjoying my little taster classes every day. Today I’m sharing a fabulous Christmas Shaker Card using the gorgeous Bright and Beautiful stamp set – this is so elegant, but also not just for Christmas – although today’s card most definitely is!

This is a shaker card and here are the directions … it takes a while and is a bit fiddly, so I’d put this in the New Technique step of Card Making Know How – but then again, if you don’t try, you don’t learn – so give it a go! And if you want even more options and help with these techniques, why not join my membership today?

Christmas Shaker Card Directions:

1. Stamp the largest star onto Very Vanilla cardstock that’s cut to 14.4 cm x 10 cm, just stamping slightly off the edge on the left using Cherry Cobbler ink.
2. Next cut out a Star in Brushed Gold cardstock by running the cardstock through the Big Shot with 2 of the Star Framelits – one inside the other – at the same time. You’ll get a star (for use on another project) and a star shaped frame.
3. Run some Window Sheet through the Big Shot with the same size Star Framelit you used as the outer Star. Adhere this to the back of your star frame.
4. Next cut up a lot of dimensionals into thin strips & attach them to the underside of your star frame (the same side the acetate is on). You need to make sure there are no gaps – you need it sticky all the way around the star shape.
5. Leave that to one side for now.
6. Using the Confetti Punch punch the short bottom edge of the Very Vanilla cardstock (keep the stars).
7. Punch some of your leftover Brushed Gold cardstock (keep the stars).
8. Punch once some Cherry Cobbler cardstock(keep the stars).
9. Stick down your Very Vanilla cardstock onto your card base (Cherry Cobbler A5 folded in half).
10. Now mix all of those stars together in your hand, add some Gold Glitter & put a pinch in the centre of the stamped star.
11. Remove the backing from the Dimensionals on your star frame & position the star over the stamped image.
12. Stamp the sentiment, add some Gold Glitter using a Two Way Glue Pen to get tiny snow like dots & voila – your shaker card is done!
