Merry & Bright

Hi there, Christine here with an easy and fun paper-pieced Christmas shaker card.  I purchased these from Super Sponsor Ellen Hutson and used both new and older Lawn Fawn stamp & die sets.  How was it easy?  The new Giant Outlined Merry & Bright die creates a sentiment and background in one go, it is optimal for creating a shaker card because one just needs to adhere the die cut to a full sheet of acetate- put some foam adhesive around the edge- and voila- done!

So to create this card, I ran the die through with some white cardstock and some gold/mint cardstock- save all the negative space bits- I created 2 cards, but one could create even more (only sharing one card today).

 

I did paper piecing and adhered all the bits to a rectangle piece of acetate with some double stick tape.  I then added a thick layer of 1/8 inch adhesive foam around the edge, found a suitable background panel (Lawn Fawn cardstock), poured Trinitys Stamps embellishments in  and sealed it all up.

I usually love to use gold bits, but was glad that I used silver bits this time- I think it is cohesive with just a small pop of bright red/maroon.  The deer was stamped from the Say What Holiday Critters stamp & die set with brown ink and the hot chocolate was stamped with an older Lawn Fawn stamp called Love You a Latte.

Thank you so much for stopping by!  Wishing you a very happy day 🙂
