January Card Club-Shaker Card








The card we're going to make this month is sure to help you "shake" away the winter snow! I think its a really pretty card, has a definite winter feeling, kind of like looking out of a picture window.








This card is not necessarily difficult, but it does have quite a few steps, so it is a little more involved. The technique I'm teaching is called 3D stamping, and it is SO EASY! This card will make your eyes "glitter" with stamping excitement.




Besides your regular crafting kit, here's the list of supplies you will need to bring if you have them:








Red liner tape








Double stick foam tape








White gel pen








Embossing buddy (or other anti-static bag) or slightly used dryer sheet








Tree silhouette or scene stamp








Polka dot or very small snowflake stamp








Weathered wood distress ink








White pigment ink








White liquid applique








Heat gun








Scoring tool








Clear or white ultra fine glitter






You can't really tell from the picture, and I can't make it actually "shake" for you on-line, but this is called a shaker card. Think a snowy night, with snow gently falling, and you inside all warm and cozy stamping away with a cup of hot cocoa.
