Snowman Shaker Shabby Chic Xmas Card

It is easy to make shaped cards using a Spellbinder die. For this Shaped Christmas Card I cut cardstock, scored the cardstock, folded the card at the score line. Placed Spellbinder die with part off the edge of the fold. Used Sizzix to cut by placing the top plate so that it was not over the edge ran it thru and cut.

The cardstock, paper, bow die as a sentiment tag & a touch of glitter with the glitter sequins in the shaker part used gives this a shabby chic look.

Decided to make this a shaker style card.

Followed a sketch for this which you can see below.

  8. What a cute card and you even made your own sequins in the shaker. I'm impressed and had never thought of that, but realize how awesome it would be since your sequins can be made to match your card! Duh, huh? Cute embossing folder and snowmen are my favorite winter image so this card caught my eye! Love the die cut bow. Thanks for joining us at Christmas as Sweet Stampin' for our BOW challenge. Hugs, Gail
