Warm & Cozy Christmas Shaker Card with Juliana

Hello friends! It's Juliana Michaels with you and today I'm excited to share a Christmas shaker card I created using the Warm & Cozy dies! If you love to play with paper, this new die set will make your paper loving self happy. You can use it with cardstock and patterned paper to create unlimited winter and Christmas themed projects.

The first thing I did was to die cut the mittens, the hat and the hearts from a piece of pink polka dot paper that is part of the Holiday Cheer 6x6 paper pad. I then cut the mugs and the trim for the mittens and hat from Bristol Paper. I added color to them using Distress Ink in Twisted Citron and a foam ink blending tool. I also cut the inside of the mug and inked it with Distress Ink in Walnut Stain. I then adhered the pieces together and used double sided foam tape to pop up the accent pieces. If you don't want to get inky, simply die cut these pieces from colored cardstock.

To create the shaker part, I took the Comic Strip Everyday dies and cut if five times from white cardstock. I glued 4 of these layers together to create the shaker box. I then cut a piece of acetate to the size of the frame and adhered it to the top of the shaker box. I then glued the 5th comic strip frame on top of the acetate.

Next, I filled the openings with a mix of snowflakes die cut using the snowflake die from the Warm & Cozy die set and the free Mini Snowflake die you get with all orders from Sunny Studio (at least while supplies last). I also added in some sequins and seed beads to add some sparkle and noise!

After I filled the sections, I glued the shaker to a piece of blue snowflake patterned paper from the Holiday Cheer 6x6 paper pad. Once the shaker was complete, I adhered the cut die cuts to the front of the card. To complete the card, I die cut a piece of white cardstock using the ribbon slider die from the Fancy Frames Rectangles die set. I stamped the sentiment from the Foxy Christmas stamp set in black ink. I then tied the sentiment piece onto the card with a piece of sheer ribbon.

I hope you enjoyed this bit of Christmas shaker fun using the brand new Warm & Cozy dies! We can't wait to see what you create and share with us using this new set!

Christmas Trimmings Elegant Holiday Cards with Franci

Hi there, Franci here with you today with some fun cards, showcasing the new Christmas Trimmings set! This set is amazing, all these images are so classic and elegant! 

For my first card I created my card base out of white cardstock. I cut a coordinating panel and I passed it into my Big Shot with the Cable Knit Embossing folder. I stamped and die cut lots of images, settling on the pine branch and the pine cone. I die cut a tag from the new set Build-A-Tag #2, I sponged some Distress inks to create a night sky and I heat embossed the sentiment in white. My sentiment is from the Christmas Chapel set, that came out last year.

I die cut a Fancy Frame Oval out of kraft cardstock and composed my card. I glued down the tag with some foam tape to make it pop against the background, and added some gold twine and some red embellishments. 

For my second card I first created my card base and I inked it up with Distress inks to create a dark to soft blue background. I also added some white and brown watercolor spatters and let everything dry. Then I die cut two Fancy Frames Ovals out of brown cardstock.

I composed my design and glued everything down with foam tape. Finally, I stamped my sentiment on the bottom right corner with two different brown inks to create an ombrè effect.

I added some red embellishments here too.

Hope you like my cards for today and thank you so much for stopping by!
