Hi everyone! I’m up on the SugarPea Designs blog today with a Christmas card using products in a whole different way than intended!
I pulled out the SugarCut – Piece of Cake dies again to create this Christmas tree cut out. I simply cut the triangle first, then put the banner in place to create the trunk. Super easy way to multi-purpose your dies. I debated a few options to fill the tree but ultimately decided that a shaker was the best. I mean, who doesn’t love a shaker card?!
I put down acetate under the tree cutout to start. Then I lined foam tape around the tree and filled with sequins from my stash. I placed a panel of the same card stock as the base over the whole thing to create a self-contained shaker. For me this is easier than trying to build it onto the base itself. I attached the entire thing to the base with Tombow Glue to make sure it really held (since it is a bit heavy). I stamped the sentiment from Flurry of Warm Wishes in gray ink and added that panel to the card.
I hope you enjoy this inspiration today. I think I’ll be making some more of these. Maybe with some glitter paper to fill the tree instead. Thanks for stopping in today. See you again soon!
