It’s Day One of a blog hop to celebrate the newest release from Pretty Pink Posh, and I’m sharing two winter-themed cards: one a fancy but easy to create shaker and two, a very clean and simple light strand card. Both are featuring gorgeous hues of blue and I love how they turned out.
The Winter Hat Shaker die set is all kinds of adorable! I created the card panel using the Layered Winter Hat Stencils and kept it very simple with my two blue ink colors that perfectly match the hat outline cardstock.
The Snow Days Shaker Beads are the perfect fill for this thin-loft shaker.
I wanted to make a much simpler card using the Christmas Light Garland dies and the Large Joy Shadow dies. How sweet and simple is this?
To see how these cards came together, watch my video:

Roxanne Tellini says
I am doing the hop before watching the You Tube video. I wonder if the beads are part of the release too because I have never seen them before. Sea beads are a bit too big for shaker cards (imo) so these would be a perfect sub.
Sarah says
