Christmas Shaker Card

I was browsing Instagram for some fun ideas for shaker cards and I stumbled across this beautiful card and I knew I wanted to re-create it for Christmas. Using the software for my Brother Scan'N'Cut I created an appropriate number of squares, positioned them and added my letters. I've made a German and English version and if you like them you can download them below.

I cut the panels out of white cardstock and adhered a large piece of acetate behind the windows (you don't want to know how many cards I had to throw away because I 1) didn't include acetate and only noticed it after I applied tons of foam tape and 2) applied in on the wrong side...). Then I used a ton of foam tape to put around the whole window frame so nothing can fall out. Because I wanted to have several shaker windows I also put foam horizontally between the windows. 


And then it was time to fill the shakers. I had a lot of tiny stars that I bought last year around Christmas and I was happy to have found something to put them to use.

    Deine Karte ist wirklich genial geworden! Mich hätte die ganze Fummelarbeit vermutlich abgeschreckt, aber ich sehe ein, dass sich das Ergebnis lohnt!!! :-)
