Frosty the Snowman is a holiday classic and this shaker card is giving us all of the nostalgic Christmas vibes.
Tomorrow is our Christmas in July “Holly Jolly” Release! We have been loving all of these amazing sneak peeks! Today’s project by our designer, Christina, was created using our NEW “Frosty Background Stamp” and our existing “In Case You get Cold” stamp set. The no-line coloring is truly beautiful and the neutral tones is having us dreaming of a white Christmas…. even though it’s a billion muggy degrees here in Tennessee today. haha. Follow along as Christina shows us how to make a neutral winter snowman shaker card that really sets the tone for our holiday crafting!
How to make this card:
- Stamp the 36047 Frosty Background Stamp with white pigment ink on kraft cardstock trimmed to 4 ¼ x 5 ½ . Splatter the panel with thinned white gouache paint.
- Die cut a circle from the upper portion of the stamped panel using the 5012D Nested Circle Small Stitch Die. The stamped panel will be the card front. This circle will be the background of the shaker window.
- Using the stamped and die cut card front panel as a template, attach the die cut circle to another kraft cardstock panel trimmed to 4 ¼ x 5 ½. This will be the card base of the shaker card.
- Attach a piece of acetate cut to size on the reverse side of the card front, covering the negative space from die cutting the circle, with double sided tape. This is the shaker window.
- Attach foam strips surrounding the circle on the card base. This creates the well for the shaker material. Attach foam tape to the remaining card base.
- Fill the well with glitter.
- Remove the release paper from the foam strips and foam tape and place the stamped card front panel on the foam strip and tape.
- Die cut the largest 5500-02D Outside Scallop Frame Die from kraft cardstock and attach to the card front.
- Stamp a snowman from the 3499-01 In Case You Get Cold Stamp Set with white pigment ink on kraft cardstock.
- Color the image with colored pencils. Add white gel pen highlights and black glaze pen to the eyes of the snowman.
- Die cut with the coordinating dies 3499-01D.
- Attach the snowman to the shaker window with double-sided tape.
- Stamp a sentiment from 36003 Magic of Christmas Stamp Set with white pigment ink on kraft cardstock and die cut with a 5013D Nested Rectangle Small Stitch Die. Attach to the card front with foam squares.
