Today’s dazzling project is from our designer, Carol, who said, “I know we are well past “Christmas in July”, but I just had to keep using some of the awesome holiday sets from the latest Holly Jolly release! I created this adorable shaker card with a snowy background for the swinging snowman.” We are so happy she’s having so much fun with the awesome holiday release, and we think she nailed this card and created something really beautiful and inspiring!

- Next place the 4305 Christmas Lights Stencil over the die cut patterned paper and secure with removable tape.
- Spread opaque white texture paste through the stencil with a palette tool.
- Before removing the stencil, sprinkle iridescent white glitter over the texture paste.
- Gently pat down the glitter with your fingers.
- Remove the stencil. Be sure to wash the stencil and tools immediately.
- Set the piece aside to dry.
- Stamp the snowman from the 36039 Snowman Cheer stamp set with Copic safe black ink.
- Color the image with your markers.
- Die cut the snowman with the coordinating 36039D Snowman Cheer die.
- The next photo shows the colors I used.
- Now we will create our shaker window.
- On the back of the die cut patterned paper, add double sided adhesive around the oval.
- Adhere a piece of acetate to completely cover the oval opening.
- Next add double thick foam tape around the edges of the panel as shown.
- Add in your desired shaker embellishments for the snow scene.

- Next die cut white cardstock with the 5510-01D Branch Die.
- Use a brown Copic marker to color it.
