Hello there! I have been having so much fun with Christmas in July, especially with the club kits from Spellbinders.
And today we are celebrating these fun Christmas themed kits with a hop and giveaway! All the hop details are below.
For this hop I really wanted to make a shaker card with the stocking from the Large Die of the Month, Stocking Full of Joy. The only issue I had is that the die that cuts out the stocking, also cuts out the hanger for stocking, separately, which means I can not get an opening on my card that is just stocking shaped. So, I came up with a little work around. And was able to make a shaker card.
If you are a fan of shaker cards be sure to check out the Shaker Card Addicts Facebook Group.
You can see this work around in the video below. If you can not see the video on your screen, you can also watch it HERE.
The idea to make this card a light up came from using the new World's Best Foam Tape from Pear Blossom Press. It is designed to work with the EZ Lights that are also from Pear Blossom Press, so I set out to incorporate lights into this shaker card. I am so glad that I did, I love the light up holly garland!!!
If you have never used EZ Lights, the name does not lie, they are indeed the easiest light to add to cards! And I show you how in the video.
The background on this card was created with the 3D Embossing Folder of the Month, Adorning the Trees. I used Distress Oxide Sprays on the Folder its self for this look. You can see how and 12 other ideas with 3D Embossing Folder in THIS VIDEO.
For my sentiment I used the Glimmer Kit of the Month, Glimmering Christmas Flora and white foil on red card stock. I love that this set has dies to cut them out and how it cuts them out so closely.
SUPPLIES:

Love the shaker aspect of this card! So very cute. I really like how you "antiqued" the embossed area of the background. Really adds a nice touch. TFS!!
