Newton's Nook Designs - Let It Snow!

 Hello everyone!

I'm on the Newton's Nook Designs blog today sharing a fun winter shaker card featuring some fun wintery products. I love creating shaker cards, and this one is filled with snowflake embellishments that move around when you shake the card. The pretty shades of purple, blue, and pink give this card a soft, frosty winter feel.

 For this design, I combined the adorable snowmen from the Snowman Postage Sampler stamp set with the beautiful snowflake patterns from the Snow Flurries paper pad.

 To create my shaker card, I started by cutting the top panel using the Basic Frames Die Set. I then used the outline die from the Let It Snow Die Set to create the opening for my shaker.

I added acetate behind the opening and placed foam tape on the back of the panel to create space for the shaker elements. Next, I added snowflake embellishments from my stash and secured a piece of cardstock to the back to enclose everything inside the shaker.

For the background layer, I used the Frames & Tags Die Set to cut the pretty zigzag layer from the Snow Flurries 6x6 Paper Pad. I adhered this layer to an A2 card base and added my shaker panel on top.

To finish the design, I stamped and die cut two adorable snowmen using the Snowman Postage Sampler Stamp and Die Sets. I colored their hats and scarves in coordinating shades of blue and pink, then added some sparkle to their winter accessories.

 The layered sentiment, colorful snowflakes, and sweet snowmen bring the whole design together!
