At our team meeting a few weeks ago, I had asked a few team members to create displays using a new product for their choice.  Gail Diss agreed to help out and she picked the Detailed Santa Thinlits Dies.  You will be amazed with the creative projects she made with this die.  I’ll be showing all of those over the next few days, but today’s card is a shaker card using the Detailed Santa Thinlits Dies and the coordinating Greetings from Santa stamp set.

Today’s Color Palette

Ready, Set, Cut

Real Red: 4 1/4″ x 8 1/2″ scored at 4 1/4″

Whisper White: 4 1/4″ x 4 1/4″

Window Sheet:  4″ x 4″

Shakers cards are so much easier than you might think now that we have the Foam Adhesive Strips.  Here’s how you do it.  Cut the Detailed Santa from the Whisper White card stock and turn it over to the back side and using the Multipurpose Liquid Glue (also referred to as Green Glue, because the bottle has a green lid) attache the Window Sheet to the Detailed Santa piece.  Next using White Stazon stamp on the front of the window sheet with the sentiment from Greetings from Santa.  Now here is where the magic happens with a shaker card….turn the piece over to the backside again and using the Foam Adhesive Strips make a frame along the outside edge of the window sheet so that you can’t see the foam from the front.  Do not remove the backing from the strips yet.  Now put a few pinches of White Mica Flakes on the window sheet inside the “frame” you made.  The final step is to carefully remove the backing from the Foam Adhesive Strips and attach the card base to the adhesive strips and you’ve got yourself a shaker card.
