Christmas Shaker Card

This is a shaker card I created where the stamped Santa image is recessed and sits behind a piece of acetate, and metal snowflakes are sealed between them.  When you shake the card, the snowflakes move around – hard to show that in a photo!

The Santa stamp is by Inkadinkado #5247 (Alma Lynne Designs), and the sentiment is from the Gina K Designs “Merry Tree” duo.

Santa was stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Copic Markers:
holly – R89, zg24, G29
hair – E55, E57, E59
face – E30, E13
coat – R46, R59
mittens – B24, B29, C5, C7, C9
heart – R89, E49
fur & belt – E30, E33
checks – E40, E42
boots – E57, E59

Card stock used: Gina K Cranberry Tart and Kraft, Coredinations Hunter, along with patterned paper by Pebbles called Mary from the Walnut Grove collection.

Dies used: Spellbinders Matting Basics B (3rd from biggest), Ribbon Tag Trio Two, and the pine bough from Diemond Dies.

Inks used: StazOn cotton white and timber brown, Gina K dark chocolate and desert sand, and Memento tuxedo black.

For the white snowflakes, I hand drew them with a Sakura Gelly Roll white pen. The metallic snowflakes were from my stash. Scotch foam mounting tape was used to create and adhere the “window” over the image.

“The Magic of Christmas” Magic Card – Tag and Card Project

This tag was made for the Mod Squad Challenge “Tag It!” where we were to create a tag. We could make just a tag, any size, or attach one by using a little pocket on the card.   (Sadly, this site is no longer active.)

I’ve included a picture of the tag, the card itself (with the tag hidden inside the pocket), and various pictures of what the card looks like as you pull the tab on the tag.  Below are larger photos of each individual shot above.

Detailed instructions can be found HERE under my “Tutorials” tab.

The stamps I used for this project are from the Stampin’ Up “Star Santa” set.  I used Stazon black ink for the image and greeting.  Copic markers (R59, G29, Y17, E53, R20, N0, C1, and C3) were used to color the image.  Cardstock used was white and Gina K Cranberry Tart.  I used Spellbinders A2 Matting Basics A dies (4th and 5th from center) and a Creative Memories circle punch.

A card posted by David Maynard on StampTv and a You Tube video called “Magic Card With Dawn” inspired me to make this card. (Thank you David and Dawn!)
