I wanted to make a Snoopy Christmas card using punches but by the time I'd shaped them, it turned out to be easier to draw Snoopy myself! I also drew his house but the decorations on it are a QuicKutz die. Oh, and his ear is a flower petal.
I then decided that I wanted to make it a shaker card. And add flowers. In an odd number. So I added some hidden ballast so Snoopy stays upright .
The card has been received so it's safe to upload it now. This card is definitely a one-off but the recipient is worth the work involved!

This is so special to me - I just love it. I'm about to bring it downstairs and set it in the middle of the mantelpiece .
I'd love to know the secret of static-free shaker cards that actually shake! Maybe it's that hidden ballast.
Thank you SO much.

The static free has two techniques - no glitter or flower soft (sob!) and beads to knock anything that gets stuck! I still long for a glitter shaker but that still eludes me.
