Jolly Winter Snowman Shaker Card

Hello Maja Design friend. Jennifer Snyder here with a jolly snowman shaker card crafted using Maja Design’s classic Christmas collection called, ” Holiday In the Alps”. You can see the collection below along with the individual 12 x 12 sheets I used: Winter Night, Let it Snow, Deers.

I really love the warm vintage appeal of the collection. By the smile on the snowman’s face, I think he likes the vintage look as well. Scroll down and I’ll show you how I made the shaker card base.

Shaker Card Base Instructions:

Step 1. “Holiday in the Alps – Let it Snow” is the base of the card. Cut the paper 10in x6 in and crease in the middle at 5 inches. This card is 5in x 6in when folded.

Step 2. The top layer is “Holiday in the Alps – Winter Night” and is slightly smaller than the card base. I die cut a circle in the sheet and inked the edges for definition.

Step 3. Flip the layer over and add double sided tape around the circle. This is going to be your window so you need to make sure there are no gaps in the tape . Cut a piece of tulle (or acrylic) to cover the window. Secure in place.

Step 4. Add shaker mix to the center of the card base and glue the window layer in place securely over the shaker mix. Now you are ready to decorate.

I decorated this shaker card using Spellbinders dies and shaker mix from Buttons Galore and More.

The trees were diecut from”Holiday in the Alps – Deers ” paper.

Happy crafting friends. Thank you for stopping here to visit.

Hello friends. Jennifer Snyder celebrating Christmas in July. At the halfway mark to Christmas festivities and time starts moving quickly as we get closer.

I am trying hard to be prepared in advance this year.

With that, I hope I am inspiring you to start your projects early as well.

My cards feature the festive Maja Design Holiday in the Alps collection.

This first card is a yummy gingerbread shaker card made with the following sheets of Holiday in the Alps :

Santa Clause A and B side

A New Year

Christmas Day

I combined three beautiful paper patterns from the Holiday in the Alps collection. They coordinate so well together. to create a festive look.

The sweet gingerbread cookie shaker is from Creative Embellishments and has been filled with new shaker mix from Buttons Galore that look like tiny peppermint candy and gingerbread cookies.

So adorable. There are also 3D buttons adorning the card from Buttons Galore and More.

Here is a close up of the background papers and shaker mix. It’s hard to see the cool reindeer patterns on the paper at a distance. The shaker mix is adorable as well.

The second card is more traditional with a stocking shaker and holiday wreath design.

The shaker is once again from Creative Embellishments wit the shaker mix from Buttons Galore’s new collection called Doo Dadz. .

Here is a close up showing the “Merry Christmas ” sentiment. Have you ever noticed the beautiful borders Maja Design has on the bottom of every sheet of 12×12 paper?

Take a look at the bottom of each sheet. One side has information regarding the paper and UPC code but the other side is a treasure. The paper banners make great sentiments on cards.

Thank you for stopping by for a little Christmas in July.

Happy crafting.
