Penguin Christmas Shaker

Happy Friday! DT Annalisa here sharing my last Christmas card of the year, a colourful shaker featuring the It's Penguin-ing to Look A Lot Like Christmas stamp set from Time For Tea Designs.

I started with watercolour paper and die-cut using the Stars Stitched Cover Die. Then, I sprayed the die-cut panel with Mermaid Lagoon and Uncharted Mariner Distress Spray Stain and used my Heat It craft tool by Ranger to dry it. After that, I added some shimmer by spraying the panel with Cocktail Party Mica and Merry Mint Mica.

I used White Silver Neenah cardstock to cover the entire surface of the card base. Next, using double-sided tape, I adhered acetate to the back of the inked star panel. I placed 3mm double-sided tape on the back of the panel and attached it to the card base. Before securing the star panel, I sprinkled Candy Christmas sequins mix from Pawsome Stamps in the appropriate areas.

I stamped and coloured several images from the It's Penguin-ing to Look A Lot Like Christmas set using Copics, then cut them out with their coordinating dies. I added white gel pen accents with a Gelly Roll Pen. The Christmas tree and candies are from Gingerbread Family - Our House to Yours.

To add some sparkle, I applied small dots of glue to select areas on the stamped images using my Quickie Glue Pen by Sakura and dipped them into Lawn Fawn Prisma Glitter. I then secured all the stamped elements to the card using liquid glue.

For the sentiment, I stamped "Happy Christmas" from the Simple Sentiments set onto black cardstock with VersaMark ink. I sprinkled Alabaster ultra-fine embossing powder by Brutus Monroe (in white) over the stamped sentiment and heat-set it. I used a small rectangle die to cut it out.

To finish the card, I added some clear dots from Pretty Pink Posh for an extra touch.
