Pretty Pink Posh - Igloo Shaker Winter Scene

Hi there,

I'm glad to be back with this new winter themed shaker card showcasing products from the Pretty pink Posh November 2025 release. Working on that Igloo Shaker was super fun, I really enjoyed using vellum instead of the traditional acetate to make the window panel, I thought it would emphasize the frosty look of my card, I'm quite happy with how the whole scene turned out, and I hope that you like it, too!

I wanted to use stencil paste on my background so I started with it to give it time to dry while I would work on the other elements. So, I cut a Pierced Snowflakes panel out of Strathmore bristol smooth cardstock and covered it with hickory smoke oxide ink. I mixed black soot oxide ink with water and added black splatters all over my panel using a slim brush, I did the same with copic opaque white ink for a touch of brightness, the same again with brushed pewter mica spray to make my winter sky sparkle, and then I added snowflakes to my panel using the Cascading Snowflakes stencil along with opaque white grit paste.

While my panel was drying, I cut my Winter Trees out of dark grey, light grey, white and silver glitter cardstock. I added white splatters and liquid stardust splatters on the grey and white trees, let them dry, and then attached a cardstock tree to a silver glitter tree using liquid glue, shifting the trees a little bit to get sparkling borders under the branches. I also cut the pieces to build my Christmas Light Garland out of the same cardstock as the trees. I added liquid stardust splatters to each light, attached them to the white string using liquid glue, and then applied glossy accents to the lights to make them super shiny.

I created my Igloo Shaker following those steps:

1. I cut the Igloo Shaker frame out of holographic cardstock, cut a whole igloo out of vellum, added white splatters to that vellum panel, and once dry, attached it at the back of the holographic frame with liquid glue,

2. Still at the back of the igloo, I attached foam strips around the edges, following the curves, and also on each small section that divides the igloo,

3. I poured Black Tie shaker beads inside each section of the igloo, and peeled all the backing papers off the foam strips,

4. I cut another whole igloo out of dark grey cardstock, and attached it to the foam strips to totally close my Igloo Shaker.

Next I attached everything to my Cascading Snowflakes panel using 1mm and 2mm foam squares, starting with some Winter Trees in the back, my Igloo Shaker right in the middle of the panel and a tree on each side, and then the Christmas Light Garland on the igloo. My greeting is from Let It Snow, I white heat embossed it on black cardstock, cut it using the matching die, and finally attached it to the igloo using foam squares again.
