When I got these awesome dies, I could envision a shaker card with the detailed, square die, and the loose holly gems as the shakers! It's been AGES since I've done a shaker card, and it was kind of fun! It took a bit, but I think I finally got what I was envisioning! You really need to see this one in person!
Measurements:
- Real Red: 1/2 sheet, scrap
- Joy of Christmas DSP (N): 4" x 5 1/4" (motled Shaded Spruce)
- Gold Foil: 4" square
- Window Sheet: 2 3/8" square
- Basic White: 2 1/2" square, 4" x 5 1/4" (inside)
To Make This Card:
- Attach DSP to folded Real Red card. Set aside.
- Cut "detailed, square frame" from center of Gold Foil piece. You will need to remove the center using the "center label" die. You can do this either when you cut the "frame", or run it through a second time. You can toss the "label" as you will not be needing it for this card.
- Carefully, attach window sheet to wrong side of gold frame.
- Next, carefully add Adhesive Strips to the wrong side of "frame". If you are really careful, you CAN add this without seeing it from the right side, otherwise, trim it a bit, or use the outside edges, trimmed to your desired width, from Dimensional edges. Set aside.
- Now, take the White square. Sprinkle some Holly Gems and Sequins in the center.
- Remove the backing from the Adhesive Strips, center onto White square, over "gems", and adhere together.
- Now, you can adhere this to your card base where desired.
- To finish, stamp and emboss, in White, your sentiment onto strip of Real Red. Trim close, and round 2 opposing corners.
- Add a bow, if desired. I used some retired Shaded Spruce and gold ribbon.
