Diane here with you today with my latest creative project!
I have been seeing lots of "shaker" cards lately
and have been wanting to make one for quite sometime!!
When I first saw the Memory Box Have A Jolly Christmas die,
I immediately envisioned a shaker card in my head!!
This card was so "easy" to do....
With the beautiful die cut on Cryogen White Curious Metallic paper,
glued down with E6000 adhesive spray on my clear Vellum paper,
I then stitched 3 sides of the vellum on a white cardstock
Using "My Favorite Things Sequins" die, I cut lots of
red and green sequins from Red Metallic and Green Metallic
from the "Iris Sampler Pack Shimmer Sheetz"
These Shimmer Sheetz make the best sequins,
and how FUN to make your own sequins!!!
Once I added my sequins, I stitched the last side shut.
mounted my shaker on a piece of designer paper, added a bow
and my card was complete!!
Here is the card after I gave it a good "shake"!!
I hope you have enjoyed today's project and will try a "Shaker" card yourself!!
Don't forget we have a "weekly" inspiration challenge
and would love to see your entry!!

Ha! I was just commenting on another blog that shakers seem to be making a comeback. I love your take on the shaker idea. This is especially pretty. Awesome with the stitching and beautiful Christmas die cut. And there's that bow die again. I love that!
