Sequin Snow Shakers

I’m excited to share today’s cards…not only because they’re shakers and Christmas cards, but they also feature  Heather’s adorable snowman set! I showed it in my September Haul video and I FINALLY got to break it out. This snowman is so cute and by the time I finished one card, I wanted to make another. Hence the two cards!

A little back story for you all… I had heard of Heather and seen her work many times in the last few years, but our paths didn’t cross until recently. We live about an hour away from each other (LOVE finding out about fellow Seattle crafters), and while we haven’t met, just from our emails and chats, I know she is a sweetheart and I know we’ll get along beautifully when we do meet someday.

Okay, now back to the cards.

While I was in the process of creating this card, I was working on an order for Impress Rubber Stamps and they re-ordered their exclusive holiday mix. I just love this color combination and I decided to use it for this fun little card. For those who aren’t able to order it on their site or store, you can individually buy all of the colors in my shop. It’s the 4mm/ 6mm Sparkling Clear, Raspberry and Aquamarine sequins.

To finish off the cards, I added some of the snowflakes from the new Snowflake Sequin Mix, a glittered snow slope behind the shaker and then finished it off with a chevron twill bow.

The next card is pretty much exactly like the red version, except I changed the color to orange. Now you can switch it to whatever color you like, but since I’m such a fan of this chevron twill ribbon, I decided to make it a color that I had in this ribbon. Silly? Maybe, but I truly love this ribbon. I wish they had in dozens of colors!
