Stamping with Melodie: Santa Stache

Hello again!

For my second last post for this year I would like to share my very first shaker card! It was easier than I thought and the effect is to say the least... DAZZLING!

I am going to list the products that I used and then show the steps in photographs! Enjoy!

106576 Old Olive A4 cardstock (layering), AC, p180

135821 Santa & Co. DSP (some more layering), HC, p29

106549 Whisper White A4 cardstock (inside and stamping), AC, p183

121688 Basic Black A4 cardstock (frame around circle), AC, p183

132178 Silver Foil sheets (star)

114323 Window Sheets , AC, p192 Cut two 3 1/2" x 3 1/2" pieces

133723 Star Framelits, AC, p231

130911 Circle Framelits, AC, p231, I used the 2 3/4" circle and the 3 1/4" ( the bigger one for the black frame)

133741 Mustache Framelit AC, p230

Layer the DSP and Old Olive and cut a circle from the center with circle framelits.

Mark with a pencil on the card base where the circle should be cut (centered on the card base) and the cut.

Cut circle using Circle framelits.

Do not adhere yet! First the shaker must be assembled.

Adhere 1 of the window sheet pieces with 2-Way Glue Pen (100425)on the inside of the layered DSP and Old Olive.

Use Double sided foam tape around the circle on top of the first Window sheet layer.

Add some glitter and Sequins ( any will do) and then adherte the second piece of Window sheet over the glitter and sequins. This piece is adhered to the foam tape.
