Happy Friday, peeps! A quick post as I am hosting a ladies luncheon today to celebrate a dear friend's birthday! And it's a surprise! So let's go! The 52 Christmas Card Throwdown challenge is a shaker card, and as much as I love them, they're always a challenge to me!
I thought the new Flip Flap window envelopes that are used for scrapbooking might be a fun choice to use for the shaker portion, so I gave it a try. So here we go:
I started by diecutting a tree from a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock, then embossing the panel with the Snowflake Sky embossing folder. I used a piece of Mintay's Merry Little Christmas paper in a snowflake pattern to insert inside one of the top-loading Flip Flaps and filled it with sequins. I trimmed the adhesive flap so that it would adhere on the inside of the pocket and attached it to the back of the card front. Of course, no matter what you use to hold your sequins, gravity insists that they collect at the bottom of your card, LOL! I added a glimmer star at the top, and everything went on a Soft Sky card base with a little sentiment from Greetings of the Season:
And on the inside, I stamped a sentiment from Peaceful Season:
It does look nice when you shake it, but you'll have to take my word for it! Thanks for popping in today! Enjoy it and be blessed!
