Hello friends and Happy Wednesday!
Today I am taking part in an Instagram hop to celebrate

For my projects today I have created two glamorous shaker cards! To create the foiled backgrounds you will need a Foil system. I used the Spellbinders
Hot Foil System along with the
Platinum 6 Die Cutting Platform. For negative foil transfers, you will need a
solid foil plate. I also find I get the best results with smooth or glossy cardstock.
Rather than throwing out the negative of the foil piece I used for my first card, I used it with the
solid foil plate to foil onto another piece of glossy black cardstock resulting in another gorgeous background for my second card.
I created these shakers using these
pockets. If you don't have any pre-made ones, (which by the way I helped bring to market 😉, but the A2s are sold out nearly everywhere) you can make my DIY version with some clear plastic or thin acetate. Click

These cards would also make gorgeous New Year's Eve cards, simply by changing the sentiment. I chose to make these Christmas cards as the background also reminds me of the twinkling holiday lights, but they definitely could be New Year's fireworks too!
I hope you enjoyed today's glamorous Christmas Shakers. Please join me on Instagram for more Alex Syberia Designs' November Release inspiration and their
Instagram Hop.
