Shaker cards - Christmas - Twitchit Craft Kits

Shaker cards – made by Toni Herron for Twitchit Craft Kits


Christmas Traditional Kit 






Shaker Box - Ornaments 4.1/2”x6.1/2” + Holiday Florals 4.1/2”x6.1/2”. Score around each edge at 1/4 “.  

Cut a 1” frame from the Baubles pattern paper and add Acetate to the inside to create a window. This will become the front of your card.  Ink all edges with a Red ink.  Add a sentiment piece to the middle of the red pattern piece.
Use both pieces and glue 3 sides together. Add shaker bling / confetti into the forth side before sticking together also. *tip- to secure the box sides while drying, I wrapped some washi tape across the box to hold it all together.  Add another sentiment to the front of the card. I used a “Christmas” fussy cut label from the bonus mystery sheets that came in the kit.

Using leftover Ornaments pattern paper I have added a flap card to the back. This was about 1/2" short, so added washi tape over the exposed piece to hide the gap.  When you wish to write your personalised Christmas note, please add in your own white cardstock. I would recommend one measuring 1” smaller as this will match up with the 1” frame on the front.  







PROJECT TWO: Starting with a plain cardstock 4”x12” - Fold this in half to make a normal base at 6”x4”.

Shaker card topper – Holiday Floral 5.3/4”x3.3/4” + Ornaments 5.1/2”x3.1/2”.
I distressed and inked all edges on this card.  Using a circle cutter / metal die / traced cup – Cut out a centre piece and add Acetate to the back to create a window. Use doubled foam tape or some sort of 3D pops around the circle on the backside of the acetate.  Add the foam tape to the edges of the Bauble paper.  *tip- I lay this topper facing down to add the shaker bling / confetti to the middle of the circle. I then add the red pattern piece carefully on top, paying close attention to keeping my layers neat. Then flip over and your card topper is ready to stick to the plain card base.  Now add any sentiments or embellishment clusters to the front of the card window.

Over the past 6 months or so, I have been very lucky to have been allowed to facebook stark a few family and friends for their photos... I have loved being able to use them, that it's given me a fresh joy and spark with my crafting.. 
This layout features my cousin and her little girl.. 


Paper from the "my secret love" collection by Couture Creation..
The ribbon diecut come ready cut from Cut For You, I added the pattern paper behind it..


First I cut the boarder pattern paper and cut a hole from the white cardstock that won't be seen, so I can use it for layering..
I used the next layer on top of the pp and again, cut a hole from both pp and cardstock that won't be seen.. more layering... lots of simple layering!

I used the ribbon cut to judge where the ink sploshes would look best behind the cut... I actually have one glued on the bottom, and the second set popped up with some foam tape..
The pretty pink paper under the photo is actually the opposite side of the leafy paper.. :)

Using the hot pink glitter alphas and dots for the center of the ribbons, I was able to capture that bright brilliant colour in the mood board..
