Carol's Creations

Yes, you read it right, this is my very 1st shaker card.  I have been wanting to try one of these for a very long time and now I have. I did make some mistakes along the way but I learned from them and I feel very confident that I won't make those same mistakes again.


I used these items to create my shaker card:

• Design Studio
• Joys of the Season Cricut cartridge - snow globe (can't remember the last time I used this cartridge)
• Create a Critter - penguin (can't remember the last time I used this cartridge either)
• stickles
• glitter (have had for many years)
• Close to my Heart clear stamp sentiment - S110 Holiday Magic (never used before)
• ribbon (had since last year)
• iridescent snowflakes (have had for many years)
• Clear Craft Plastic (had since last year)

Here is a view of the bottom and inside of the card:

This is my 9 year old Kaitlyn painting her ornament:

More pics of the kids and my husband working on their ornaments:



This is mine before it was finished:

These are my husband's and my oldest daughter Kaitlyn's projects.

They used red, green, blue, and silver sparkle craft paint.  They also added some really chunky glitter and stickle.  Kaitlyn also attached a Dilly Bean stamp - Snow Family that I printed out on cardstock and colored with Stampin' Up chalks.  Both were finished off with some red ribbon.



Now this one was made by my 2 year old daughter Jaidyn...she had a blast painting her project and loved using all the colors.  I finished it off for her by adding some bright pink ribbon.
