We are also excited to have Jane (Onions and Paper) are our Guest Designer this month. Welcome Jane!
First time out for this snowflake ornament. I thought this would make a great shaker Christmas card, although I find shaker cards tediuous to make. I ALWAYS end up with glue everywhere, including my fingers and then things just start to stick together where they shouldn't. :) This one wasn't too bad. Only had that happen once while making it. :)
Layered white die-cut ornament, solid acetate (cut to fit), foam (cut to fit) ... adding the sequins, then another layer of acetate, and the final layer of white card stock ornament.
I stamped the sentiment in delicata silver and added silver cording to the top.
Here's a close-up ...

Love this and love the gorgeous color of those sequins in your shaker ornament. I too am challenged by the shaker cards but love how they look. Recipients love them too. That ornament is such a gorgeous die. Beautifully done.
Beautiful snowflake ornament die and a gorgeous shaker with the blue and clear sequins! I agree that shakers are tedious but they really are worth the effort!
Such a unique and fabulous shaker card. Wonderful idea to use the die cut for the shaker element and what an outstanding card x.

Beautiful card Loll, I love that snowflake die and it makes a great shaker. I know what you mean about shaker cards, my problem is the shaker bits get stick on some glue from somewhere. lol Still I do like making them although I don't do it often. Love this one as a shaker, so pretty! Hugs, Brenda
