Instructions:
  1. Create a 6" square card from green textured cardstock. Set aside.
  2. Use Tuxedo Black Memento ink to stamp the Fat Cat Rubber Stamponto white Copic-friendly cardstock.
  3. Fussy-cut the image, color him with Copic markers, and edge him with a black pen. Set him aside while you construct the rest of the card.
  4. Position a square frame die as shown onto a piece of holiday-themed patterned paper, secure with low-tack tape, and die-cut. 
  5. Trim the patterned paper to 5.75" square and edge with a BG23 Copic marker.
  6.  Use the same frame die to cut a piece of green cardstock. Set aside.
  7.  Flip the square cardstock over. 
  8. Adhere a piece of clear acetate over the aperture cut by the square frame die.
  9. Dust the acetate with an anti-static tool.
  10. Place double-sided foam tape around the aperture to create a well. 
  11. Fill the well with sequins, clay pieces, etc. As you can see, I chose to use peppermint candy clay pieces, two colors of clay snowflakes, and clear snowflake discs. 
  12. Carefully remove the backing from the foam tape and place patterned paper over the well to seal the shaker contents inside. 
  13. Flip the patterned paper/shaker over and adhere the reserved green cardstock frame.
  14. Place a piece of 2" wide two-sided tape onto the back of a piece of vellum. Use a Speech Bubble Die to cut the vellum.
  15. Place another piece of 2" wide two-sided tape onto the back of a piece of green textured cardstock. 
  16. Use a Christmas Sentiment die and Alphabet dies to cut the cardstock.
  17.  Adhere "meowy" using the Alphabet die-cuts and the "Christmas" sentiment" to the Speech Bubble die-cut. 
  18. Set the speech bubble sentiment die-cut aside.
  19. Use a Santa Hat die from the Crazy Things Framelits Die Set to cut white cardstock.
  20. Color it with Copic markers. 
  21. Adhere the Santa Hat to the Fat Cat's head.
  22. Add a piece of torn blue glitter washi tape to the patterned paper panel as shown.  
  23. Adhere the Santa Fat Cat so that he's standing on the glittery washi tape and the right side of his body is overlapping the frame and the shaker element.
  24. Remove the backing from the vellum sentiment Speech Bubble die-cut and adhere it over his head as shown.
  25. Adhere the card front to a 6" green card.
