Get Cracking: Holiday Shaker

Ok, at this point let’s be honest. Holiday cards we are making now are going to be hand-delivered or to start our stash for next year. It’s never too late to GET CRACKING! Each month on the third Thursday I have been posting a holiday creation and hopefully inspire you to create one too! I plan on doing this in 2020 as well, so I hope you will join me.

If you do end up making any please leave a comment below with a link, or tag me on Instagram so I can see! We are also using the hashtag #getcrackingonchristmas

We can do this! We can create holiday cards all year, and be a little bit more prepared for the holiday season!

Get Cracking: Holiday Shaker

This card was all inspired because I wanted to use these little peppermint shaker bits ha! Do you ever do that? Have the simplest supply that inspires a whole creation?

For the background of the card, I used the Mint Tim Holtz Shifter Stencil. I also used the Wendy Vechi Stay-tion. I love using that board with stencils, it really helps you keep everything in place. Using Distress Oxides in Festive Berries and Worn Lipstick I made the peppermint background.

I then die cut Mama Elephant’s Big Happy Holidays Die, out of Chili Pepper Lawn Fawn Cardstock.

For the shaker, I used Lawn Fawn’s Stitched Scalloped Circle Frames. I die cut it twice out of fun foam, once out of acetate, and once out of Pixie Dust Cardstock. I stacked these using a Lawn Fawn Glue Tube, being sure to adhere the Big Happy Holidays on top of the acetate, but below the Pixie Dust Cardstock layer.

Then I flipped over the shaker element and filled it with those cute little peppermint embellishments, as well as some other sequins I had.

I put a backer on the shaker element and adhered it to my card.

Happy that I am already started on cards for NEXT Christmas.  You can see all the Get Cracking cards I have made here

I have some friends joining me this month- head on over and check out their creations!
