Snowman Shaker Card

Hello Everyone!

I hope you have all had a great week so far?  I finished work last Friday and have headed down south to my parent's farm for a week of rest and relaxation and I have to say it has been soo nice down here!  I think it's going to be hard to leave on Monday when I go back home!

I really love the fun new Hero Arts challenge - Bring on the Bling at the moment, and still being in a holiday card creating mood, I couldn't resist creating another Christmas card to share with you all, and this one is a fun and interactive shaker card featuring lots of bling!


I've never created a shaker card before, but I've had the idea for this one in my head for quite a while now so thought I would give it a go.  I'm happy with how it turned out but would love to know what you think.  Here is a close up of the snowman shaker.


I used round silver confetti in the shaker to match the silver glitter heat embossed background on the white cardstock.  I also wanted to keep the colour scheme limited to sliver and blue for that frosty winter feel.

I had so much fun creating my first ever shaker card!  I will definitely have to try this technique again soon.  If you have any questions about creating a shaker card, just let me know and I'd be more than happy to explain.

Well it's time for me to head to bed now as I have to get up early to travel to Margaret River tomorrow for a day out, but have a wonderful night and I'll be back soon with another card share.
