Snowman Confetti Shakers
Good morning Pretty Pink Posh friends! Heather dropping by with another easy tutorial for you today! As soon as I saw the adorable new Happy Snowman stamp and coordinating die set, I immediately thought of an adorable little snowglobe – and the Window Frames die was the perfect way to create them! The Happy Snowman stamp and die set are such a great value – so inexpensive, and yet so fun and versatile!
I filled them full of tiny Iridescent Mini Circle Confetti, and stamped sentiments with the unreleased but free with $100 purchase Holiday Greeting stamp set – so many fun sentiments, and a fabulous font! Look how fun these are when you shake up all that confetti – just like turning a snowglobe upside down, don’t you think?
I stamped and colored up the Happy Snowman and one of the scarf images two times, then used the coordinating Happy Snowman Dies to cut them both out.
Here are the Copics I used if you’re curious! I get asked that a lot, so thought I’d include the picture this time.
Next, I trimmed and adhered my “snowdrift” to the front panel, then adhered the snowmen so that they would peek through in the proper place, then added my sentiments.
I decided to use fun foam to make the pocket to hold the confetti – so I used the Window Frames die and a pencil to mark the place – this was perfect, because then when I cut it out with scissors, it was a little larger than the opening, so it didn’t show around the edges at all, and left room for the confetti to go beyond the window.
I added acetate to the back of my window, then piled on LOTS of that fun confetti, then adhered the front piece over and shook up the confetti. My original plan was to have the pink scarf snowman with the pink card, and the blue one with the blue card, but I accidentally did them backwards, and was happy I did because I ended up liking the contrast better that way!
The finishing touch was a few of the snowflakes from the Snowflake Sequins Mix adhered on the outside, and a few 4mm Clear Droplets in the center of the largest snowflakes. Here is a closer look at each of them.
I’m having a hard time deciding if these are cards, or really just toys…since I just want to sit and shake them up over and over – just like a snowglobe! Heehee!
Thanks so much for stopping by today! Hope you are having a wonderful day!!!
Absolutely darling!
