Hello my Crafty Friends!
Today's vibrant Christmas shaker card is part of the new
Picket Fence Studio's September release and brings together a delightful blend of holiday colors and textures. Here’s how I combined some of the stunning products from this collection to create a festive, interactive card, perfect for spreading holiday cheer!
Background Prep:
You’ll need two of the same
Watercolour Christmas A2 card fronts for this card. This is so that when you cut the shaker window from the front panel, it will align perfectly with the back panel image, creating a cohesive look through the window. The vivid wintery scene serves as the perfect backdrop for the shaker design.
Creating the Shaker:
Start by cutting the shaker window from the front panel using the
2.5” Connected Circle Shaker Creator Die. Then, adhere a piece of acetate to the back of this panel, covering the window opening. Line the edges of the window and the rest of the panel with foam tape to create depth for the shaker.
Next, place the
festive sequins, onto the background panel, concentrating them where the window opening will be. Carefully adhere the top panel to the bottom, ensuring the edges are lined up. For a flawless alignment, I recommend using a corner ruler—simply align the top of each panel in the corner and press them together for perfect placement.
Adding the Sentiment:
Finishing Touches:
For extra shine and detail, I also added coordinating gems to the greenery of the scene using
Northpole Gem Mix gems.
This shaker card from the PFS September release captures the joy of the holiday season with its playful design, festive colors, and interactive shaker elements. The combination of watercolors, dimensional paper glaze, and a mix of bold and elegant sentiments makes this card a standout piece for Christmas greetings. I hope this inspires you to create your own festive shaker cards!
