Sunny Studio - Holiday Greetings Gingerbread Shaker Card

Hey there,

I was back this week on Sunny Studio's blog with this cute gingerbread shaker card featuring one of the gorgeous sentiments from Holiday Greetings, as well as both characters from Christmas cookies and the holly leaves from Holiday Express. 

I started off by cutting a Frilly frame eyelet lace panel out of kraft cardstock, and I created a giant gingerbread cookie by applying rusty hinge, vintage photo and ground espresso distress inks on that panel. I also added cookie texture all over the panel by mixing each distress ink with water to splatter droplets on the paper, as well as white ink.

Once my cookie panel was dry, I cut an opening out of it, right in the middle, using a die from the Stitched oval 2 die set, next I white heat embossed my "Season's Greetings" sentiment from Holiday greetings on a piece of acetate that then I attached at the back of my cookie panel.

Still at the back of the panel, I added foam stripes all along the oval opening, rubbed the foam strips edges with my powder tool to make those edges non sticky, cleaned the excess of powder using a microfiber cloth, and then poured some shaker accessories inside the oval window. And then I closed my shaker panel using a Joyful holiday panel that I attached to the foam strips.

Next I cut a 5,5" x 4,25" red panel from the Joyful holiday paper pack, as well as a slightly smaller vellum panel. I attached my shaker panel on top of the vellum panel, and then the vellum panel to the red panel. And to totally complete my shaker panel, I cut a white glittery frame using a die from the Stitched oval 2 die set + another one from the Scalloped oval mat 1 die set, and I attached that frame around the oval window to give the illusion of icing on the gingerbread cookie.

I stamped both characters from Christmas cookies, as well as two holly leaves from Holiday express using an alcohol marker friendly black ink, cut them using the coordinating dies and colored everything using my alcohol markers.

To finish my card, I white heat embossed the second part of my sentiment "Sending you sweet holiday wishes" on a red banner I cut out of a Joyful holiday pattern paper. The words "Sending you" are from Bear hugs, and the words "Sweet holiday wishes" are from Christmas cookies. I attached that banner below the window, as well as the images using foam squares. And finally I added highlights on the images using a white gel pen, as well as glossy accents on the holly berries.
