Happy Christmas Little Star Shaker Card

This month over at The Outlawz Progressive Freebie Challenge, we were given this adorable digi from All Dressed Up Stamps to use. I'd been thinking about what I wanted to do with it since the first of the month and finally felt like a shaker card with non-traditional Christmas colors would be fun. This image could easily be converted to a birthday card by simply erasing the Christmas star, also.
I sized up my digi using my Silhouette Design Studio software and then printed her onto white cardstock. I colored her with Copic and MEXPY markers and die cut her with the largest die in the Anja's Square set by Marianne Design. Then I die cut 2 frames out of adhesive foam using dies from the same set. I also die cut a layer of clear cardstock with one of the dies to cover the opening of my shaker card.
I adhered 1 frame to the die cut and added some glitter, sequins and stars to the opening. I adhered my clear cardstock covering to the first frame with 1/8th inch Scor-tape. Then I added my 2nd frame on top of the clear cardstock layer. I'm disappointed that my blue tinsel glitter stuck to the inside of the clear cardstock (too much static, I guess!), but otherwise I think it turned out well.
I made a top-hinge card with pink cardstock using the largest die from the same Marianne set I'd been using and adhered my shaker element to it with glue tape.

  16. What a fun shaker card! Love it!! I need to learn how to make it so my shaking stuff doesn't stick to the plastic...I wonder if rubbing a dryer sheet on the plastic would help? Hmm...You've made me think! haha Ouch! LOL So glad you came Through ‘The Craft Room Door’ to play! Can't wait to see more of your talent!
