Shake it at 613 Avenue Create

Good Morning,

Today we have a brand new challenge over at 613 Avenue Create.

As always its Anything Goes with the Optional Twist – Create a Shaker Card

The twist was suggested by my fabulous Design Teamie Natalie

Now I have to admit that although I always admire shaker cards created by other crafters I tend to shy away from these because I am always stuck for ideas.

So I looked around the internet and found this fabulous tutorial by Anne from Annespapercreations - here

Although I have bauble cutting dies that I could have used I wanted to experiment with my Cricut Maker that my DH bought me for Christmas ( I am still very much a novice where it is concerned).

This is my take on Anne’s beautiful shaker Christmas Decorations.

I cut out four layers of stiff card stock to form the base and glued two together for the front and two for the back.

Two layers of acetate.

The glitter paper is from a DO Crafts pack I picked up at the range and it doesn’t shed.

The pearls and pearl trim are from my stash.

The foliage is made from my favourite foliage dies which were part of a £3 set from The Works.
The seed pearls in the shaker are from my stash and the little snowflakes are the waste from a Martha Stewart border punch.

The poinsettia was cut from a Tattered Lace die that was free with one of their magazines.

The tassel was also from my stash.

I would like to enter this project into the following challenges…..
