Falling Snowflakes Shaker Card by Theary Chea

Hello there everyone! It's Theary here, back on the blog again. Today, I wanted to share a fun shaker card that I created using fantastic products from the shop. If you haven't checked out the latest release, you can do so here: October 2022 Release.
The background of this shaker card is just beautiful. And the best part is that it was super easy to make. It's so hard to capture the colors and sparkle on camera. But I can assure you that it's a showstopper!
I used Falling Snowflakes Stencil on top of white cardstock and my Life Changing Blender Brushes to blend a couple of shades of pink and purple ink. After I removed the stencil, I went in with the ink leftover on my brushes and blended it around the cardstock to create some interest.
I wanted the perfect sentiment for this shaker card, so I heat embossed in gold the Merry Christmas from the To All A Goodnight stamp set onto a heat-resistant acetate. Be sure to use a heat-resistant acetate, as a regular acetate will warp and burn. This sentiment is perfect to have in your holiday cardmaking stash. It's so whimsical, and the size is just perfect for any size card front.
I used a rectangle stitched frame in my stash to create the frame of my shaker card. You can pretty much use anything that you have on hand. I went ahead and ran that through my die-cutting machine a few times out of white cardstock and layered it with the heat-embossed acetate in between using liquid adhesive. This will create the shaker well for our shaker card.
Before I assembled the shaker card, I went ahead and cut the Snowflake Prism out of vellum. I adhered the vellum snowflake onto the center of the ink-blended background. Then, I added Snowflakes Sequins Clay and Embellishments and attached the acetate panel to the ink-blended panel. I then adhered everything to a white top folding card base.
And, that's it! I hope you found some inspiration and get crafty in your craft space! Until next time!
Have a wonderfully blessed day,

Hello friends,I am so excited to be back on the blog again today. For today’s project, I am sharing a Christmas card that was inspired by one of the most well-known Christmas flowers of all time. And that is the flower, Poinsettias. Every year during Christmas, I fill my home with this flower. It’s just so beautiful, and it smells so wonderful. I was excited when the shop released the Seasonal Christmas Flowers stamp set. I knew I needed to create a card with it.
I colored the Poinsettias using Copic markers and gave them highlights using a white gel pen. For the background, I love creating a monotone effect using the wonderful Paper Glaze Velvet in the color Winter Snowfall. I applied the paper glaze onto white card stock using Winter Rings Stencil with my Mix Media Spatulas.
To add subtle interest to the card design, I added More Ash Leaves that I die-cut out of vellum. I adhered the flowers and leaves onto the card panel using a combination of foam squares and liquid adhesive.
The sentiment is from the Swanky Christmas Sentiment stamp set. I stamped the sentiment onto white card stock using black ink and used the coordinating dies to cut a few out of white card stock to layer it up to create dimension.
And to finish off the card, I adhered the card panel onto a matted gold rectangle and adhered it to a top folding card base. Added a few embellishments to the card panel, and that’s it!I hope you found some inspiration and got crafty in your craft room. Until next time!Have a wonderfully blessed day,Theary Chea
