For my card today, I'm featuring the new Jingle Snowflakes Die. I used it to make an elegant shaker card. Yes, it seems I have jumped on the shaker card train - and I'm so glad I did! TOO much fun. Sparkly!
I started with some crisp white cardstock and a sheet of gorgeous Audrey Blue cardstock. I really wanted this card to feel cool and wintery, like snow. I die cut my noel die and the snowflakes die with white paper. Then I cut a stitched rectangle in my top layer. My card base is also white.
This photo shows how pretty and delicate the die is. And, it cuts like a dream! After cutting out my stitched rectangle, I adhered some window plastic to the back of that piece. Then, the fun part - filling it with sequins! I used a few different types of sequins - keeping with silver, aqua and white....
I am addicted to Lawn Fawn Cord! I used a pretty grey cord to make a bow on the top of my card. I wanted a tiny pop of a contrasting color.
Because it wasn't sparkly enough (LOL) I added some pretty clear rhinestones to the centers of the snowflakes on the die cut.
I adhered the long die cut on either end of my rectangle using a glue pen. I glued it so that there is a gently curve in the die - it's not completely flat. I also used a glue pen to adhere the noel to the front of the card.
Thank you so much for stopping by on this exciting blog hop day! Nice to have you here. Next up on the hop list is one of my very favorite crafters - Yana Smakula!
