MFT Stamps October Release Countdown Day 4

Hello, Crafty Friends! It's Day 4 of the MFT October Release Countdown! This awesome release will be available Tuesday October 11 at 10:00 am EDT!

Today I have a fun shaker Christmas card featuring the absolutely adorable snowman created from the new Snow Buddy Die-namics set that's just perfect for so many occasions. I paired the him up with a festive sentiment from the new MSTN Cool Christmas Greetings stamp set.

I diecut the images out of Neenah Solar White 110 lb card stock. I colored the images with Copic markers and accented with gel pens. 

COPIC COLORS

Snow: B0000, R00

Brown: E33/35

Orange: Y17/38 YR04

Black: N9

Red/White scarf: R22/24/27/29, C00/0/1

For the background, I used a piece of Smooth White cardstock (4.25" x 5.5") and Tumbled Glass, Salty Ocean, and Prize Ribbon Distress Oxide inks to ink blend the sky. 

For the shaker element, I diecut the largest of the A2 Rectangle Frames Die-namics out of Smooth White cardstock. I adhered a piece of acetate (4.25" x 5.5") to the back of the frame with liquid adhesive. Then I added a layer of foam tape along the back of the frame. A little anti-static powder was used around the inside edges of the foam tape before I added some snowflake shaker bits from my stash. After the release paper was removed from the foam tape, I adhered the inked panel to the back of the shaker. 

For the sentiment, I stamped a sentiment from the new MSTN Cool Christmas Greetings stamp set with Versamark Watermark ink onto a piece of anti-static treated Wild Cherry cardstock. I added white embossing powder before heat setting the embossing. I trimmed out the sentiment with one of the dies from Blueprints 27 Die-namics.

I adhered a piece of scotch tape to the back of the snowman before I adhered all of the snowman parts, to ease the transport of all the elements and minimize the risk of getting stray adhesive onto my acetate. 

I adhered the snowman and the sentiment to the front of the shaker with liquid adhesive. Finally, I adhered the shaker to a Smooth White cardbase (4.25” x 5.5”).
