Instructions:

Step 1:

Use Tuxedo Black Memento ink to stamp the American Gothic Christmas Rubber Stamp onto white cardstock. Color the image and the entire panel with Copic markers. Use a white gel pen to add highlights to the holly berries. 

Step 2:

Use a white Uni Posca paint pen to add white dots over the image panel to make snowflakes. Adhere the image panel to a piece of plaid patterned paper from the Graphic 45 Christmastime pad. 

Pat the image panel with an anti-static pad to prevent the future shaker contents from sticking.

Step 3:

Cut a piece of acetate so that it's about 1" wider and longer than the matted image panel. I used the clear acetate packaging saved from a stamp, die, or stencil. 

Place the matted image panel facedown onto the acetate. Apply strong two-sided tape long the side of the image panel close to the edge of the card. Remove the tape's backing, and press the acetate onto the tape. Repeat this process so that both sides and the bottom are sealed. Use a bone folder to make sure that the acetate is firmly adhered to the back of the image panel forming a sealed shaker envelope.

Step 4:Flip the shaker envelope over. Assemble your shaker elements. I've used some snowflakes and some sparkly lightweight mylar confetti. 

Step 5:

Pour the shaker elements into the acetate envelope. Flip the shaker over and use the two-sided tape to seal the top of the shaker.

Step 6:

Adhere the shaker panel to a green A2 card.

Step 7:

Use a scalloped rectangle frame die to cut patterned paper or cardstock. I used green wood patterned paper from the Christmas Watercolor pad by Scrapbook Customs. 

Flip the frame die-cut so that the reverse is showing. Add black foam tape to the die-cut.

Step 8:

Use the Noel Banners from the Holiday Sentiments Banner die set to cut white glitter paper and green cardstock. Assemble the die-cut pair. 

Step 9:

Adhere the banner to the top of the shaker panel.  Adhere the frame die over the shaker image panel as shown.
