I brushed on New Leaf ink & covered the berries with Christmas Red Stickles. I used 2 circle dies to cut a white background & covered the center with acetate. The shaker mix is Shaved Ice & seed beads. The Winnie & Walter Joy die cut was stacked 3 high, inked in New Leaf, brushed with a shimmer pen & covered in Nuvo Glaze.
Hurrah--finally used a piece of this wonderful striped paper I've had for years! The W&W sentiment is stamped in Pure Poppy. I'm entering ABNH, JUGS, NBUS & SSS Wednesday.
This is Tracey's 10th year doing The 25 Days of Christmas Tags. What an accomplishment! I love this event even though I don't use many tags for gifts. Instead, most of mine end up as focal points on cards. Here's one from last year. 
I won't make a tag every day, but I did make a tag yesterday & today. Here's my Day 1 Tag inspired by Candice. 
Her tag die reminded me of this one by PTI plus I love poinsettias & knew I had black & white DP in my stash. I changed the colors from red & gold to raspberry pink & silver. Other than that, I totally cased Candice. The HA Paper Layering Poinsettia die cuts were colored with a Zig spread with a water brush. The center was colored with a silver shimmer pen & I splattered Distress Stain Brushed Pewter.
I white embossed the sentiment from an old HA set & die cut Impression Obsession branches & snowflake. Finished off with silver Nuvo Drops & silver trim which I think is SU--a gift. I'm also entering WAW.

All your projects are fantastic. Great designs and colors.
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty little shaker card Greta! I like the non-traditional colors. Your pine tree with the frosty branches is wonderful and your tag is so pretty!
ReplyDeleteHow pretty is the striped wreath shaker card? Love the shimmery bits behind the acetate and the lush look of the Joy when treated with Nuvo Glaze. I'm a big fan of poinsettias too and the pink/silver combo looks striking on the black and white background.
ReplyDeleteA pretty shaker my friend and your tags are adorable!
ReplyDeleteOH! What wonderful, colourful cards Greta.

ReplyDeleteAbsolutely amazing cards and tags! Great use of the striped paper that you had saved for so long too!
ReplyDeleteWhat pretty colored stripes with that neat wreath on your card. I remember loving that tree tag last year. But the cream was the last item - wow! what a great poinsettia die and combined with all the other elements is gorgeous.

I love your take on this card! The pretty pink in the poinsettia against those white branches looks so festive!
ReplyDeleteGreat shaker card, Greta. Isn't it nice to use up that pattern paper! A great tag too. I don't use tags anymore but I love them and they are so quick to make.
