Hello crafty friends! Leica here, and I’ve got a joyful holiday shaker card to share with you to kick off the blog hop.

To get things rolling, I took an A2-sized piece of pink cardstock and gave it a candy cane print background using the Layered Candy Canes Stencils. For Layer A, I used Festive Berries Distress Oxide Ink, and for Layer B, I applied Finnabair Snowflake Paste.

I created a frame from white cardstock using the Fancy Cake Dies and glued a piece of acetate on the back of the frame. Then, I surrounded the frame with foam tape, and for the shaker fun, I filled it up with the Candy Cane Lane Mix.

For the main attraction of my card, I added a stocking using the Build A Stocking die set. I incorporated some greenery from the Winter Foliage Dies and adorned it with a gold ribbon from the Holiday Mug Additions, topped with a Metallic Gold Pearl.

To make the sentiment pop, I hot foiled the “Holidays” in gold and cut it with the Happy Holidays Shadow die. I then heat embossed “happy” on a strip of blue cardstock in gold and placed it just above the “Holiday Shadow.”

Finally, I glued the card panel onto an A2-sized card base. And there you have it, my lovely shaker card. I hope you’ll give shaker cards a whirl for your loved ones this holiday season.

  34. First, I want to say I have NO expectation of winning anything so this is from the heart.
    I want to say ‘thank you’ for holding the giveaway. Many of us who follow your ideas aren’t able to make purchases at least not as frequently as we might desire. A number are low-income and though we watch the ideas, we pick up pre-loved supplies from eBay, Facebook marketplace or even thrift stores (yes, sometimes you can get some really nice things there) Anyway, from those of us who cannot purchase your items or at least purchase frequently, the giveaway is a great blessing. I realize it makes marketing sense, but it also makes it easier for those who are gifted the items. So, from all of us, low-income or not, THANK YOU! Blessings to you all!
