2020 Christmas countdown - Day 38 (Be of Good Cheer)

Good morning!

Today's card kills two birds with one stone so to speak.

I had some shaker frames die cut from when I tested out my new dies when they arrived and I wanted to use the frames for a snowy shaker card.

I had also recently purchased the Hey Santa 6x8 pad from Crate Paper and I saw that it came with some cut-apart journaling style cards.

Well, I always end up left with these sorts of elements in paper pads as there are so many on a 12x12 sheet usually and not all of them work for cardmaking. So I thought why not get a head start on using one of them up. ;)

And I found one that would be perfect for what I had in mind...

Paper: Crate Paper - Hey Santa, Pebbles - Cozy & Bright (r)
Stamp: Hello Bluebird - Typed Christmas
Dies: Hello Bluebird - Holly and Pine, Pinkfresh Studio - Artistic Bows, The Stamp Market - Stitched Shaker Windows, The Stamp Market - Tiny Tags

I used a regular UK card blank for this project and covered it with the pink chevron style paper from the Hey Santa pad.

I then cut another shaker frame from the festive striped paper (love that design from Pebbles - it's a fab candy cane stripe).

The confetti die in the Shaker Window die set makes cutting confetti from left over scraps of cardstock a doddle.

I used two layers of foam tape around the window to make sure there was enough room for the confetti to move around.

For the sentiment I chose one of the Typed Christmas sentiments from Hello Bluebird that I've not used yet - as you will know, I love this sentiment set. I'd stamped it on one of the Tiny Tags dies I'd tested when my die order arrived and loved how it fit this card design... but I couldn't work out where best to put it.

In the end I wanted it to look a bit like a ribbon slider, so I just inserted the label back in the die the other way round to cut the extra notch, so I could thread some twine through and hold it in place that way.

Finally, the Artistic Bow dies from Pinkfresh Studio provided a great accent for the corner, finished off with some glitter paper and festive greenery.

Happy crafting, until next time!
