Jolly Shaker - Stampin' Up! Ornamental Christmas

   I had so much fun showing my customers this fairly simply shaker card at my last class.  You can easily switch out the paper and shape to do any theme you like with the same basic layout.  The Ornamental Christmas bundle is perfect for a nice seasonal shaker and a red/green combo can't be beat.


  We started this one with a Garden Green card base.  Then using the Ornamental Christmas dies cut the tree out of the Christmas Tags & More DSP.   Using the opening in the DSP, line up a piece of Basic White behind the DSP and stamp the tree in Garden Green.

  Next, adhere the window sheet to the back of the DSP being careful if you use glue to not let it seep out the edges.  Use the foam adhesive strips to make an outline around the tree opening giving about a 1/4" space from the opening. Add some double layered dimensionals around the edges so that when you adhere the shaker to the card front everything is even; the foam strips are taller than dimensionals so you need them stacked to reach the same height.

  To add a fun element to the shaker pieces we used gold foil and the adorable A Little Cheer mini punches for some nice Christmas shapes to go along with the loose gold sequins.  Gather the shaker pieces on the center of the stamped Christmas and adhered the DSP/window sheet lining up the stamped image in the window.  Then adhere the whole panel to the card front.

  The sentiment is simply stamped and punched out and layered on a Garden Green label from the Traditional Label dies with a Real Red ribbon loop sandwiched in between.

  A few more Little Cheer gold foil punches to finish it off; star on top of the tree and a Christmas tree on the sentiment.

  Thanks for looking!  Did you stamp today?
