Winter Shake


Winter is coming! and all the holidays with it! I decided to chill out and make a shaker for the winter holidays using an embossed clear panel and a sentiment stamped on the back of the shaker in a glittered frame.

Putting It Together

I like shakers, they're a lot of fun.


I cut a panel of iridescent shimmery pearly thick mylar from Michaels and embossed it with a folder from Darice. I used a Spellbinders die to cut a from from thick glitter cardstock, also from Micheals, and white fun foam.


I stacked the three together to see how it would look. Oooo... Where the light hits the mylar directly it shines back pink but it really is clear with just a hint of pearl colours.


I stamped a sentiment on a panel of white to be the back of the shaker. I stamped the sentiment with a dark blue.  I used this sentiment because the 'spinkled' makes me think of snow and the shaker is snow. It's also a fun sentiment.


Holding it up, to make sure the sentiment is readable through the embossing. See how the light turns reflects pink.


I adhered the mylar panel to the frame with the raised embossing on the 'inside'.


I added the fun foam frame and decided to make the chamber a bit taller (easier to shake stuff) and added an additional frame of foam mounting tape.


I adhered three of the silver mirror snowflake confetti to the sentiment panel to have some immovable decoration. I got the snowflake confetti from Micheals years ago in an after Christmas sale. I've never seen it sold since. I filled the well of the shaker with a a couple glitters, a few of the snowflake confetti, and some large white iridescent sequins. One of the glitters is a blue-y sparkle.


I added the sentiment panel to the back to make a shaker sandwich.


 I then adhered the shaker to the card base and gave it a shake.


Once I started added a detail on the inside months ago, it now feels odd not to add something to the inside. I didn't want to add another sentiment so I just stamped a wreath in green.
