Mini Holiday Floral Shaker Card | Honey Bee Stamps

Festive holiday shaker card featuring layered pink and red floral die-cuts, a textured brick background, gingham patterned paper in the shaker window, and a "Happy Holidays" sentiment. Embellished with pearl stickers and glitter for added sparkle.

Hello, crafty friends! Today, I'm sharing a festive shaker card I created for Honey Bee Stamps using mostly new goodies from the Cozy Christmas Release. This project combines some lovely floral layers with a cozy, textured background, perfect for sending "Happy Holidays" wishes. Let’s dive into the details of how I brought this card to life!

CARD RECIPE
  • Layering Vintage Labels Honey Cuts – Frame for the shaker window
  • Rustic Brick Wall 3D Embossing Folder – Embossed background
  • Gingerbread Village Paper Pad – Background patterned paper
  • Cello Sheets – To create the shaker window
  • Great Greetings: Holiday Honey Cuts – Sentiment
  • Lovely Layers: Mini Holiday Florals Honey Cuts – Floral elements
  • Bee Creative Clear Embossing Ink & Clear Embossing Powder – For the sentiment's glossy finish
  • Gingerbread Pearl Stickers – As embellishments
  • Prisma Glitter – Added sparkle to the florals
  • Iridescent Chunky Confetti – For the shaker filler (discontinued product, link to similar product)
  • Copic Pigment - White Splatter

  • Lovely Layered Florals

    For a beautiful floral touch, I used the Lovely Layers: Mini Holiday Florals Honey CutsAfter die-cutting, I ink-blended each piece and added extra depth with Copic markers, and then I splattered white ink to enhance the wintry feel. Once assembled, I set the floral elements aside to work on the shaker frame.


    Creating the Shaker Front

    To create the front of the shaker, I die-cut the largest frame from the Layering Vintage Labels Honey Cuts out of white cardstock. Next, I ran it through the Rustic Brick Wall 3D Embossing Folder to add cozy brick detailing to the card front. Then I set this piece aside while I prepared the background.


    Building the Background

    For warmth and a rustic touch, I selected a charming gingham pattern from the Gingerbread Village Paper Pad for the background. I trimmed the paper slightly larger than the window opening, added the shaker bits in the center, and adhered a cello sheet over the area using liquid glue along the perimeter. Since these shaker bits add minimal bulk, foam tape wasn’t necessary. Finally, I attached this piece behind the shaker window, creating a charming holiday scene, and adhered it to the card base.

    Adding the Florals

    With the shaker component in place, I arranged the floral elements from the previous steps around the card. I used foam adhesive to elevate some of the pieces, giving the design depth and dimension.


    Sentiment

    For the "Happy Holidays" sentiment, I used the Great Greetings: Holiday Honey Cuts. To give the letters a glossy, dimensional look, I applied Bee Creative Clear Embossing Ink and heat embossed them with clear embossing powder. This subtle shine makes the sentiment pop against the background, adding thickness and rigidity to the die cuts.


    Final Touches
    For the finishing touches, I applied Prisma Glitter to parts of the florals, adding a festive sparkle. I also used Gingerbread Pearl Stickers as embellishments to enhance the holiday feel. These small details bring the card to life, making it perfect for spreading holiday cheer!
