Relatively Thoughtful: A TREEmendous Christmas

Good morning and a very happy Sunday.

It's Sue here and as anyone who knows me knows, Christmas is my favourite time of the year. You can imagine my delight when Sally brought out the beautiful TREEmendous Christmas collection.

I started by choosing my papers. These are available in the store in both digital and physical collections.

So papers chosen, I set about making my card.

I knew that I wanted to make a shaker, so I cut my layers. To save card and keep the weight down I gutted my base layer as only the edges will show.

This is my first layer added to the base card. The edges have been inked and a little bit of glitter added.

This is my next layer. I've added my images and lots of fake snow!

And this is the top layer. I've added some snowflake acetate underneath.

Now for the scary part, adding the sequins! I've put my shaker tape around the aperture, and the sequins onto the base, now I just need to keep a steady hand and put one onto the other, keeping it all straight - no pressure then!

And ta-da, all done!

The shaker box has been added to the base card, and I've put the frame around the aperture and added a Christmas tree and sentiment.

I'm not normally a fairy person, but this one is just so beautiful! She's been glittered and fake snow added, 'cos if you can't sparkle at Christmas when can you!
