Getting into the holiday fandom spirit today with my mini slimline shaker card today! I'm using a new stamp set and stencil from The Sassy Club and mini slimline dies from PopsicleSticks. I started with stamping and coloring my two characters from the Hot N Cold set with my Ohuhu Art Makers and I fussy cut them out. I ended up stamping the flames and snowballs later on, but I'm glad I added them as I think it added more and balanced out the card.
Next I started working on my background! I die cut the largest mini slimline die out of mix media paper and used the Fire and Ice Stencil to create a warmer scene with flames on the left (I masked the sides I didn't want to get color on) and icy snow on the right. I used Distress Oxides so the colors would sit on top of each other a little nicer than with dye inks.

To create my shaker frame, I die cut the smallest mini slimline die out of white glitter cardstock and then trimmed out the center leaving a 1/4" border. I added acetate to the back of the frame and then using the background as a guide, I adhered another piece of 1/4" sparkle cardstock to the center divider for my shaker windows. I added foam adhesive to the back of the shaker panel and got it ready to adhere to the stenciled background.
I added some retired Sparkle Blends to each of the areas on the backgrounds to match the theme and then added the shaker panel to close up the shaker mixes. I added this whole card panel to my 3.5x6.5" card base and then stamped my sentiment on a banner die cut (also from Popsicle.Sticks) I added my sentiment, characters and little extras to the card and I just love how it turned out! I hope you like it, too.
