Hello and Happy Saturday! I've had a lovely day at the Craft table and I hope you had the opportunity to do some Holiday crafting as well. Today's make features elements from the Hero Arts October 2020 Monthly Card Kit, Silver Mirror Card, Glitter and Fine Eyelash Yarn.
I created a shaker card using the Ornament from the Hero Arts Kit. I die cut the ornament using silver mirror card, die cut 2 Reindeer and put the shaker element together adding 2 types of fine glitter for the inside. The designer papers are from the Doodlebug Designs "Winter Wonderland" 6x6 paper pad, the sentiment and tiny Reindeer are also from the Hero Arts kit, the fine eyelash yarn came from my stash (purchased from an Etsy Seller a few years ago).
I'm pleased with the results as Shaker Cards are definitely not my specialty. I took an extra bit of time making sure to get every piece of the shaker element correct. My husband said just the ornament would make a nice gift to include in Happy Mail; I'm not sure I have the patience to create more than 1 of these at a time. It is pretty though and I like the non-traditional colors of the designer papers.
Thanks for visiting and until next time, Happy Crafting!

ReplyDeleteThis is a lovely shaker card. I'm out of my comfort zone in making those. The papers are fantastic. I have several 12x12 sheets from the Winter Wonderland collection. Love them.
ReplyDeleteWe had fun watching the Gators play yesterday. Sorry to hear that your game was cancelled due to COVID. It's weird seeing the stands so empty. Gotta stay safe though. [Bunny]

ReplyDeleteSuch a very pretty card, the colours are lovely, not traditional maybe but they still have a Christmas vibe. The reindeer are gorgeous. Thanks for playing along at the 52CCT this week.
