Christmas Wishes Shaker

Hello once again. The ABC Christmas Challenge has started a new challenge. Helene (Mummylade) is the host, and having reached the letters P, Q, and R, our Christmas themes this time round are:

P is for Pink, Q is for Quartet (four of the same), and R is for Rudolph

Here is my card:

I chose to go with the quartet theme – a four window shaker.

This four window shaker die is from MFT, an old one, and with it came to plastic four window shaker pouches.

The card base had a red mirror card stock, out of which I die cut the four window frame, then glued to the card base, with a piece of shimmery, glossy silver paper from my stash.

I added sequins into the four windows, then adhered an acetate piece the same size as the shaker. This way I don’t have to faff around trying to place it square without the sequins falling out – it does make it a lot easier to do it that way.

The window was then attached to the card with a mixture of wet glue and double sided tape – more stickiness – and a red glitter foam added – die cut from a Spellbinders die set.

I hope you can come and join us with your Christmas creations following one or more of our themes. Please make it obvious which theme it is – or tell us in your blog post. We have a few entries recently which didn’t follow our themes and unfortunately they will be deleted, and not eligible for the prize draw or top picks.

I shall be entering the following challenges:

    Gorgeous holiday card! The embossed metallic background paper is amazing. Love the die cut shaker window and die cut bow. Thanks for sharing at A Cut Above’s August Challenge.
