Hi Crafty Friends! Carly here and you might know that I love shakers. I really, REALLY love them, LOL! And I love snowflakes too so I can’t wait for you to see my latest shaker card with the gorgeous Stitched Snowflakes!
Some fun things about this shaker…it is very flat & easy to mail and it uses some “crafty trash” aka the plastic die packaging. Also you could easily change the sentiment to make a Christmas, birthday, hello card, etc.
Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope you’ve been inspired by all the fun holiday projects!
Hi friends! Christina here to share a fun Merry and Bright shaker card showcasing some of my favorite things from the October 2024 Holiday Release. I used the Build an Ornament Dies to create shaker ornaments for my card design and added lots of festive greenery and embellishments. Follow along as I walk you through the steps to creating this easy shaker card.
I started by arranging three of the base ornaments on a heavy-weight white cardstock panel trimmed to 4 ¼ x 5 ¼ and die cut them to be the shaker windows. I used the heavy-weight cardstock for extra stability and then die cut the same arrangement again from patterned paper before attaching it to the heavy-weight cardstock.
Next, I die cut the same ornaments from white, pink, and salmon cardstock and attached them to a 4 ¼ x 5 ¼ cardstock panel for the shaker base, using the shaker window panel as a template for their placement. Then I attached foam strips around each ornament, creating wells for the Berry Bright Shaker Beads before adding foam tape to the rest of the base panel. To finish the shaker assembly, I attached acetate to the reverse side of the shaker window panel before placing it on the base panel.
To the front of the shaker panel, I added ornament toppers die cut from matte silver cardstock and pieces of twine tied in little bows. I framed up my ornaments with the largest Scallop Frame Die that I die cut from salmon cardstock before adding the remaining embellishments, including greenery from the Holiday Wreath Builder and the Holiday Mug Additions sets. I added a sweet bow from the Beautiful Bows Dies to one of the ornaments and Cherry Red Pearls to the other two. Finally, I added a sentiment from the Winter Greetings Stamp Set heat embossed with glittery red embossing powder and die cut with the coordinating dies, and for the final detail, a few Metallic Silver Pearls.
That’s it for this Merry and Bright shaker card featuring just some of the beautiful Christmas and winter-themed products in the Holiday Release. Thanks for following along, and I’ll see you again soon!
Good morning! It’s Lindsey here, and I’m delighted to be guest designing for Pretty Pink Posh this month. Isn’t this holiday release amazing?! I combined lots of new goodies (and a few old) on my card today, and I have to admit that it is one of my most favorite cards I’ve ever made. These sweet, sugary colors just make me happy.
First off, I absolutely adore the new Fringe Tree Die! You can fluff it up to add a little or a lot of dimension on your card. It looks fabulous on its own, but I decided to deck it out with trim and sparkly ornaments from the Big Christmas Cupcake Dies. I also embossed some ornaments using theHoliday Icons Stamp Set and coordinating dies.
The only thing missing were the presents under the tree, so I made a whole bunch of gifts using the Big Christmas Cupcake Dies. I finished my card with a quick sentiment from the Winter Greetings Stamp Set(love this set!).
I hope that this card makes you smile and gets you excited for holiday crafting! There are so many fabulous projects to inspire you today, so make sure you keep hopping along. :)
Hello crafty friends, Marine here, I’m thrilled to be back on the blog with this super duper extra colorful and bright card showcasing the Christmas Light Garland die. When I first saw this die, I immediately visualized rainbow garlands, just like the ones my grandfather had on his Christmas tree. It was nice to have those sweet memories while working on this card.
I started with the background and cut a 5,5 x 4,25 inches Strathmore bristol smooth panel that I colored with oxide inks. First, I created a base using, clockwise, kitsch flamingo, dried marigold, squeezed lemonade, twisted citron, salvaged patina and shaded lilac. Next I placed the Cascading Snowflakes stencil on top of my panel, and applied picked raspberry, carved pumpkin, fossilized amber, mowed lawn, peacock feathers and wilted violet for a tone on tone look. I splattered water all over my panel and dried it using a paper towel. I mixed some copic opaque white ink with water and used a slim brush to add splatters on my panel, and I did the same with fossilized amber distress spritz to add gold splatters on my piece of paper.
I set the panel aside to dry, and cut all my Christmas Light Garland pieces: four strings out of white cardstock and multiple light bulbs out of colored cardstock. And for the light caps, I found the perfect die from Big Dump Truck, I cut some of them out of gold glitter cardstock and some out of dark yellow cardstock. Next I assembled everything: I attached the light bulbs on the white garlands in a rainbow order using liquid glue, I added a cap on each bulb, and stuck each garland to my panel using 1mm foam squares.
I added liquid glue on each bulb and sprinkled fine glitter to make them all sparkle, and while the glue was drying, I worked on my greeting. I foiled my Hot Foil Happy Holidays sentiment in gold on white cardstock, and cut each word using Happy Holidays Shadow dies. And I wanted to add a subtle border to my words, so I cut two Happy Holidays Shadows out of vellum, glued those vellum pieces behind my gold foiled words, and finally attached my greeting in the middle of my panel using 2mm foam squares. I stuck my panel to a white card base, added highlights to the light bulbs and caps using a white gel pen, and finished my card with a scattering of Iridescent Mini Star Confetti all over my panel.
And that’s it! I hope that my card has inspired you to use non traditional and bold colors on your holiday cards. Thanks so much for stopping by, see you next time!
Hello friends! Leanne here and I’m thrilled to be a guest this month for the holiday release. I have always loved to create little paper wreaths to add to cards so I was excited to see the Holiday Wreath Builder die set. This set has all the basic components to make a wreath. The possibilities are endless! For the card I’m sharing today, I made a very full pine wreath.
I kept this card design on the simple side because the wreath really is the star here. I started with a white A6 card base. I created the background panel with the Cascading Snowflakes Stencil. I used a white opaque paste with the stencil. I moved the stencil around applying the paste only in select areas to get the random snowflake pattern. I then splattered the panel with thinned white paint.
To create the wreath, I used all three sizes of pine sprigs included in the Holiday Wreath Builder set. I adhered them onto the large wreath base. I added in the little red berries and a double layer bow. I then gave the wreath a good splattering of white paint to give it the snowy look.
To complete the wreath, I added sentiment strip ribbons coming down from the bow. I used the Upright Greetings Christmas set to stamp the Joyful Wishes. I then adhered the wreath to the background with thin foam tape. To finish off the design, I added several Sparkling Clear Sequins scattered all around the background.
Thanks for stopping by, I hope you were inspired by this card!
TheOrnament Cover Plate cuts a stitched A2 panel, along with a selection of patterned ornaments. There is also a die in the set that cuts out the ornament toppers and other decorations.
I began by die-cutting the Ornament Cover Plate from four bright colours of card stock. As I decided to create a square card this time, I will keep the A2 backgrounds for other cards.
I added gold glitter toppers to my six ornaments, and adhered a couple of layers behind each ornament for dimension.
On an A2 card base, I adhered a piece of patterned paper. In the centre, I stamped a ‘merry & bright’ sentiment from the Winter Greetings stamp set. I then adhered the bright ornaments to the card to finish.
I hope you enjoyed this holiday card. Thanks for stopping by!
Hi friends, Debbie here! Today, I’m sharing a 5X7 traditional Christmas card with the new Holiday Wreath Builder Dies. Let me just say, this is an awesome die set! It is so big, and the way the dies have the three sizes of leaves together with the one die! Brilliant!
I started off die cutting out two times all of the dies from the new Stitched Snowflakes Dies. Arranging them evenly on the 5×7 card base, and attaching with liquid glue. I did add a little shimmer with Sparkle Silk and set to the side.
Next, I die cut out all the sizes of leaves from the Holiday Wreath Builder from three shades of green card stock four times each to make sure to have a full wreath. I did do some ink blending on one side to give some depth to the leaves. Also I add white splatter to all the leaves and berries for a snow effect. The branch die is cut from White glitter card stock.
Also wanting a red metallic bow I die cut out one from the Beautiful Bow Dies that was previously released. The bow was popped up with a foam square. The sentiment is from the new Large Joy Shadow Die, I did the Joy die not the shadow from a metallic gold card stock. Adhered with liquid glue to the center of the wreath and attach to the center of the Snowflake card base.

I wanted to use the Snowflake Shaker as a featured main element on a card and the Snowflakes Stamps are the perfect partner in black and white. Black & white with a splash of color is a classic look for any occasion and I especially love it for the Holidays!
I die cut the Holly Jolly Shadow die twice (once out of white cardstock and once out of black) and layered those together with a spray adhesive. Then I randomly stamped a white cardstock panel with all the different snowflakes in the Snowflakes stamp set with black ink. I recommend starting with the largest snowflakes and moving down to the smallest as you fill in the panel. I am a fan of the Snowflakes stamp set due to its plethora of stamps and array of snowflake sizes, making it easy to create your own background panel 1-2-3!
I die cut the Snowflake Shaker snowflake twice in a deep red cardstock. I stitched the top piece before gluing it to the second layer. By using two layers of cardstock and layering your design elements, it gives the in-person feel a little more heft. Wanting to create even more dimension, I added dimensional foam adhesive to the back of the snowflake to adhere it to the card base. I then added on the sentiment with liquid glue and voila–A holiday winter card ready to go!
This card could easily be mass produced by simply using one layer for the die cut elements and using your MISTI to create the snowflake panels. It would also be fun to mix up the colors of cardstock you use for the Snowflake Shaker die cut. The stitching details this die creates give this snowflake snow much added sweetness! 🙂

Hi friends! It’s Dana here today and I am back with a fun holiday card to share with you all.
I started my card by using the Christmas Lights Garland die set to make my strands of lights. This die set is so easy to use and I just love all of the fun color combinations you can create with it. There is one die for the string of lights and one die that cuts out five bulbs at once, so it’s really quick and easy. I made four strands of lights and attached them to a card panel I created with the Pierced Snowflakes Plate.
Next, I used the Fancy Cake dieto add a stitched frame around the panel. Lastly, I used the Holly Jolly Shadow die for my sentiment. I die cut the sentiment from red and white cardstock and added foam adhesive to the back before attaching it to my card panel to finish my card.
