But, I'm happy I made this. I followed Jennifer McGuire's video "Shaker Ornaments". I used ten layers of card stock frames, two layers of acetate centers, along with the original background center and a separate sentiment. Whew! That's a lot of die-cutting. :)

Ten layers of cs!! That's a lot of cutting and gluing! I'm very impressed! It turned out beautifully but I can see why you won't be making more of them. I'm looking forward to seeing it in real life (I'm assuming you'll keep it after all that work!).
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful photo of Jessie - Tessa says Merry Christmas to her too!
That's not a card, Lolly, that's a gift!! And a gift that the recipient will treasure and bring out every year - or perhaps you will keep it yourself as a decoration! It's really beautiful! And so is Jessie! That's another stunning photo. Merry Christmas to you and thank you for another year of fun and inspiration! Love, Dolly
ReplyDeleteThis is wonderful. A gift, an ornament or something to add to a package. That is a lot of layers, but oh, so worth it. Merriest Christmas wishes to you and your family and a special pat from Daisy to Jessie. See you next year.
ReplyDeleteLoll, it was well worth every bit of effort on your part! Really wonderful - not for making multiples though, I agree!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas - looking forward to every creation you'll make in 2022!

All that die cutting was certainly worth it, something to treasure for years to come. Merry Christmas from us and Max says hi to Jessie, he loves to chase a Cav!! ;)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card, beautiful dog. Merry Christmas and Happy 2022 to you. Thanks for all your inspiration.
ReplyDeleteThis is something special that you should keep and hang every year, Lolly! What a lot of layers but so beautiful! And an awesome Christmas picture of Jessie! Have a wonderful Christmas, my dear, dear friend! XOXO
ReplyDeleteIt may have been a marathon but it is gorgeous Loll and love the beautiful scene inside and the fabulous shaker element. Such a lovely photo of sweet little Jessie and I hope you have a wonderful Christmas and look forward to seeing the CAS challenges back in the new year. x
ReplyDeleteLove the way this turned out, Loll! It was worth every single die cut! Merry Christmas and Happy New year, see you in 2022!
ReplyDeleteit must have taken hours to make but wow what a feast for the eyes with all those layers ♥
ReplyDeleteHave a very merry Christmas and hope to catch up soon :)
Your shaker globe is a work of art, Lolly. You should give them to you and Gord as a Christmas gift that you could bring out every Christmas for a beautiful decoration:-) TFS and Merry Christmas and Happy Healthy New Year dear friend. This is a wonderful time of year to take a Winter Holiday break. We will be taking a break too..:-) Love and Hugs to all the family. I am looking forward to a creative New Year with our talented friends.
ReplyDeleteI forgot to mention what a beautiful Christmas photo of Jessie. She is so pretty and sweet. TFS Love and Hugs...
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card but indeed a marathon effort!!

Now that is a lot of die cutting ....... but so worth it, this looks gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteA beautiful little ornament that you just wouldn't want to put away.
Hope you and your family have a fabulous Christmas, and best wishes for 2022!
Festive hugs ..... Linda xx
PS Thank you for the lovely Christmas card too xx
This is beautiful Loll! What a lot of work, and all from the heart. This is one of those cards that becomes a treasured piece. Merry Christmas to you!
ReplyDeleteJennifer always makes it looks so easy doesn't she? I'm glad you tried it because it is fantastic, Loll. All the details make this a keepsake for sure.
ReplyDeleteThis is indeed a very special card and a it was a very good decision to only make one! Wishing you a very happy Christmas, enjoy your break and thank you for all your support xx
ReplyDeleteIt was worth all the layers for your shaker Loll...absolutely BEAUTIFUL card! And totally get why it's a one only card too! And Jessie just couldn't be any cuter!! Hope you and Gord and your family have a wonderful and very merry Christmas my friend! See you next year!! Hugs. :0)
ReplyDeleteSo amazing and very special! Merry Christmas Loll!
ReplyDeleteI can see why this card is a one off and a very special one at that Loll. Lots of die cutting and it sure was worth it, as it is so dimensional and what a fabulous Winter scene inside that eye catching globe x.
ReplyDeleteHappy and healthy holiday season too my friend and give that adorable Jessie an extra hug from me x.
It may have been a lot of work, but it looks AWESOME! Beautiful snowy scene with fabulous dimensions. Love it!
ReplyDeleteAnd Jessie is picture perfect!… simply adorable. Wishing you, Gord and Jessie a very merry Christmas! Enjoy your holiday!
This is truly an amazing snow globe shaker, Loll! I can easily imagine the shaker with ten layers of card stock frames will make a 3D ornament. The snowy scene is so pretty, and I love that you added some gold and clear beads to the globe in addition to sequins. Thank you for sharing a cute picture of Jessie. Her hair looks so shiny!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and to your family too!

Fantastic shaker card, but oh my! I can't imagine that many layers! Congrats on accomplishing a master fete
ReplyDeleteThis is AMAZING, Loll! Wow!
ReplyDeleteIt may have been a marathon, but what an exquisite result Loll. An absolutely fabulous ornament. i hope you have a wonderful Chriustmas, and that 2022 will be kind to you
ReplyDeleteStay safe
Blessings

Absolutely beautiful! I hope you had a wonderful Christmas - Wishing you a Happy, healthy New year!
ReplyDeleteI'm so impressed with this darling snow globe shaker, Loll! Your details make it so special...the dimension you created with the stacked frames, your stamping of the tree and placement of the darling deer as well as all the fabulous gems make this really fun and festive!
ReplyDeleteLove Jessie's expression in this pic of her...I'll bet Santa had a lot of treats for her under the tree :) xx
Your snowball turned out to be extremely laborious, but the end result is deadly. Such a stunning look of this shaker, all the layers and this amazing background make it a work of art, not a card.
ReplyDeleteI would also like to thank you for the whole past year of great inspiration and so much fun for all of us. Thank you and I wish you even more great ideas and persistence to make us happy :-)
xx
love!
