Guest Designer for 52 Christmas Card Throwdown October 2023 Technique Challenge - Shaker Card

Hello there.  I’m excited to be back guest designing (GD) at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown (52CCT) for their SHAKER CARD technique challenge. 


Wanting to celebrate the late Janis Woolbright again this month over at Christmas Kickstart, I used On the Table and Peeking Friends (sentiment) stamp sets from Gerda Steiner Designs to create a CAS (clean and simple) CAT-mas (cat Christmas) tag shaker card. 😉   


Started by stamping the Santa hat with Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto a scrap of alcohol marker friendly cardstock.  Masked it and stamped that fun cat face.  Removed the mask and coloured with Copic Sketch markers, then fussy cut it out.

Copic markers used:
hat brim/Pom Pom - C00/0/1/2/3 
hat - R14/27/37/39 
cat - W00/1/3/5, R81 


Stamped the sentiment with Versafine Onyx Black ink onto a scrap of Bristol paper and heat embossed it with clear glitter embossing powder.  Die cut it out with a tag dies (retired Blueprints 4 die set from My Favorite Things).  Die cut a second tag from Whimsy Stamps Blurry Flurries pattern paper for the backing.  Added acetate and foam tape strips to the back of the tag to form the shaker part of the card.  Did not have any ribbon, so die cut a bow from shimmer white cardstock using new-to-me Fit to be Tied die set from The Greetery.  Assembled the card onto white woodgrain paper adhered to a white card base to finish.


I want to thank Andreja and the 52CCT team for having me GD with them.  To see their card inspirations and/or link up your own Christmas shaker card, click HERE.  Thank you for visiting.

    Congrats for your well deserved GD Trina, and this cat on the shaker tag is just Pawsome!!! So cute and fun! Such wonderful colouring on his fur and his face is priceless! Clever idea using that sentiment to match the cat, it's really fun and makes me smile! The shaker aperture looks great, as well the gorgeous diecut bow, it's a wonderful design.

    Oh my goodness, Trina! This kitty shaker card is adorable. I love that it has a white background and shaker front, so all the attention goes to the kitty cat and the lovely shaker element. That's some fancy bow die as well. Just beautiful in every way!

    Yes, I have 3 cats and they also celebrate Christmas. They love knocking baubles off the Christmas tree :-)
    I'm sure they would love this card as much as I do.
