Snowman Magic Shaker Card

Of course when I first saw this bundle with its' darling snowflake frame, the first thing I "saw" was a shaker card! I saw a similar card that was not a shaker, so make a few adjustments and voila!  I also used some Storybook Gnomes DSP and our new Red & White Glimmer paper. 


Measurements:  

  • Balmy Blue: 1/2 sheet
  • Storybook Gnomes DSP (N): 4" x 5 1/4" (snowflake sweater print)
  • Red & White Glimmer paper (N): 3 1/2" x 4 3/4", 3" square, scraps
  • Window Sheet: 3 1/2" x 4 3/4"
  • Basic White: scraps
  • Basic Black: scraps
To Make This Card:
  • Attach DSP to folded Balmy Blue card.
  • Cut "snowflake frame" from center of White Glimmer piece.
  • Attach window sheet to wrong side of "snowflake frame".  Set this aside.
  • Cut circle from 3" square of White Glimmer paper.
  • Select one of the sentiments from the set. Curve the message to fit the circle, and stamp. Note: I used Balmy Blue that has faded over time.  It's still there, but just barely.  This would definitely show up more on Basic White instead of the Glimmer.  But I liked the Glimmer better.
  • Stamp "snowman" in Memento Black ink onto scrap of White Glimmer paper. Choose a "face" and stamp this, now, as well. Color the "carrot nose" with Pumpkin Pie Blend. Cut out with corresponding die.
  • Stamp "scarf" and "bird" in Balmy Blue onto scrap of Basic White. Cut out with corresponding dies.
  • Stamp "top hat" in black.  Cut out with corresponding die.
  • Cut out 2 "arms" from scraps of black.
  • Assemble your "snowman" onto the Glimmer circle.  Add "bird" where desired.
  • I adhered this circle to the acetate on the frame, as this was the easiest way to make sure it was inside the frame. Note: However, the sequins, then, can't get in front of the snowman and kind of get caught behind where you can't see them.
  • Lastly, cut the cute "tree" from scrap of Glimmer. 
  • Lay the frame on the card to determine where to put the "tree". Add directly to the card, using the pattern on the DSP to "remember" placement.
  • Now, for the fun part!
  • Place Foam Adhesive Strips along inside edge of frame. 
  • Sprinkle Sparkle & Shine Sequins over the tree, remove the Foam Adhesive Strip backing and put frame in place.
