Ornament Shaker Cards

Hi Crafty Friends,
Brass and Bliss challenged the design team to Use the SAME main image/die in two ways. I used the Brass & Bliss Ornament Panel Die 5839D to make two shakers but one is metallic gold and blue non-traditional Christmas colors and one is glitter blues traditional winter colors. Use my links to shop!

Make Crafty Friends Q & A:
Q: Do you have a favorite Christmas ornament?
A: Me? YES! All my Ornaments by Claudia ornaments 

Card #1: Gold/Blue Metallic Ornament Card 

Step #1: I die cut the Brass & Bliss Ornament Panel Die from gold metallic paper and matched it to the Brass & Bliss Frozen Elegance 6x6 Paper Pad 2303.

Step #2: I added acetate to the back of the cover plate and added sequins that match the paper to make it a fun interactive shaker card.

Step #3: I used Brass & Bliss Off-set Tag Dies Set 5605-03 for my sentiment. The sentiment and cute little snowman are from Brass & Bliss Cute Snowman Stamp Set 3699-02.

Step #4: I finished my card by placing my sentiment off to the right and a little above center and the snowman facing the sentiment to highlight the Falalala.

Card #2: Glitter Blue Ornament Card

Step #1: I die cut the Brass & Bliss Ornament Panel Die from blue glitter paper and matched it to the Brass & Bliss Frozen Elegance 6x6 Paper Pad 2303.

Step #2: I added acetate to the back of the cover plate and added Brass & Bliss Winter Snowman Shaker Pieces RN 6001that match the paper to make it a delightful interactive shaker card.

Step #3: I used Brass & Bliss Nested Tag Dies 5704D to frame my sentiment. The sentiment and cute little snowman are from Brass & Bliss Cute Snowman Stamp Set 3699-02.

Step #4: I finished my card by placing my sentiment off to the right and and the snowman right beneath it.
