I wanted to make a gift card holder as well as a shaker technique so here's my version for the challenge. I started out by using real red cs as the base for the square. I used Paper Studio snowman dp and used the Scor-Pal and followed the directions by the tutorial. I used my Cozzule to make the red circle and added mini rhinestones around it. I stamped the snowman onto creamy caramel cs with black stazon and colored with the BIC Mark It makers. I used 2 way glue and added Diamond Dust to give it some shine and also I added white glitter for the snow. I cut a circle from the transparent paper so you can see through. I used a pre-cut scallop circle, the original color was green, I decided to use my versa mark pad and embossed the scallop with silver ep. I cut a piece of thin sticky foam to make a circle that's what the 3D look is for the snowman. I used the MS snowflake punch and added light blue rhinestones for the center and made a bow, attached it and added a silver string around the bow so you can use it for an ornament. The ornament is attached by using a 3D square. I used the same snowman stamp as in the dp. I then added the silver ribbon underneath with tacky tape and you can untie it and find the gift card inside. On the inside, I used the versa mark pad and embossed the big snowflakes ($1 wood stamp) with silver ep and stamped mini snowflakes with Brocade Blue ink. I used the CB scallop squares and stamped the phrase from Mini Mates with red stazon and added a silver snowflake. I also used a med. circle punch for the red circles, used the MS snowflake punch and added a blue rhinestone for the center. I used an exacto knife to cut a slit for the opening.
