Let it Snow - shaker card

Hi everyone!

Let's go for a new 52 Christmas Card Throwdown challenge. 

This week we want you to do a 

Shaker Card

I die-cut circles from silver and turquoise glitter cardstock and glued them together. 

I die cut a piece of acetat in the same size and stuck it behind the circles. 

I then glued two layers of foam tape along the edge of the circle and filled the shaker with micro beads, tiny stars and a bit of glitter.

I stamped the little scene and colored it with alcohol ink pens. Die cut it the same size as the circle and adhered it to the shaker, closing it. I affixed a piece of patterned paper to a blank card and stamped the sentiment. Colored a few fir trees with a silver glitter pen. Glued the shaker on. 

HAVE FUN!

Hello everyone!

This week I am invited as a guest designer  at C.R.A.F.T. Challenge. The theme is: Winter.

For this guest designer event I got a digi stamp from their sponsor All Dressed Up, 

which I of course used for my card. 

My idea for this challenge was a shaker card. 

I used blue cardstock for the background, heat embossed the sentiment in white, and stenciled stars all around. Then I cut out the frame, covered it with acetate and added 3D adhesiv foam. Filled it with all the glitter stuff and glued it to the background panel. I colored the little girl with alcohol markers and crayons, cut it fussy and glued it to the card. Replaced the snowflakes with blue rhinestones.  Voilà, isn't that beautiful?

I hope you like it and you will have a lot of fun with the winter theme!

Hello everyone!
Today I want to remind you on our current challenge at the Dream Factory. This month's movie is

Frozen

Snowy landscapes, forest animals, snowflakes, snowmen, reindeer, glitter, princesses...

In France, it is tradition to send New Year's greetings rather than Christmas greetings and we have until the end of January to do so. I do not follow this custom, but if I am missing Christmas cards, I sometimes have to fall back on it!

...but this time the card wasn't meant to be sent! 

In our little handicraft group it became a habit that we make cards to exchange three or four times a year. The theme for the beginning of the year was: Glittery wishes 

I've decided on a shaker card and made 8 of them.

They consist of a small, transparent pocket, which I cut out of document covers and then sewed them. Hmm - it was rather the other way round, I sewed first and then cut the pockets that were still open on one side ;)

I die-cut the sentiments and numbers from self-adhesive glitter foam and glued them inside the pockets. Then I filled them with lots of glitter, sequins, stars and many different transparent die-cuts that I had bought at some point.

Here they are!

I closed the pockets with one last seam and knotted the threads so that they would not open accidentally. I stapled the pockets to a piece of stamped card stock of the same size and then glued it to the white base card.

Hope you like it! 

You still have a fortnight to link up your glittery things! ;)

Have Fun!!
