Holiday Street & Snowflake Shakers

Hi crafty friends!

I have got some fun festive shaker cards to share today!

In the brand new Magical Holiday release from Pinkfresh Studio was the most amazing Holiday Street Press Plate. There's also a stamp and coordinating stencils. I decided to use the Holiday Street Press Plate for one of my shakers and the new Radiating Snowflakes Press Plate for the other.

I chose some shiny cardstock from my stash that had cool tones - I went with blue and mint green. 

First, I hot foiled in silver the Holiday Street Press Plate on the mint panel and then hot foiled the Radiating Snowflake on the blue panel.

I wanted to give the illusion that it was snowing over each background so I splattered white paint over them both.

I pulled out some shaker pockets that I had in my stash for aaaaaaages and had never used! I sealed these on three edges of each hot foiled card panels, leaving open one side to add some bling. 

Pinkfresh Studio has some of the best bling in the business and to add some of the bling into these pockets felt very indulgent but look fantastic in real life!!

The pockets allowed for lots of movement of the bling which really helped. I sealed the tops of both panels then added the whole shaker panels to an A2 card base.

Time for sentiments! The brand new Holiday Greetings Sentiment suite is perfection. The fonts are so nice and so festive. I decided to hot foil the press plates in sliver to coordinate with the panels. 

'From Our House to Yours' was an obvious choice for the Holiday Street shaker and the 'Greetings This Holiday Season' has such a lovely design I just had to use it with the Radiating Snowflake shaker. 

Both shakers still felt a little plain, so I decided to white heat emboss the Amazing Things stamp set which has beautiful leaves on it. I cut the leaves up so I had some clusters to add behind the sentiments.

I think this last step just added the perfect finish for these seasonal interactive shaker cards. These shakers were not complicated, so why not give it a go at making one yourself?

See you next time!....
