  57. Beautifully done card! I’m feeling cooler just thinking of snowflakes! Thank you Poppy Stamps!

  62. Love the card Jennifer. Especially love this snowflake it’s very different from what’s in the market.

  77. I love the Celeste Snowflakes dies! I’ve always been irritated that I couldn’t find the tiny items I wanted to put in my shaker cards, I always felt limited to sequins, stars and hearts-your genius idea of using shrink film has opened up a whole new world for shaker card makers!! Those little polar bears are adorable, and I have so many other dies I can use the film with. Thank you so much!! I already know what I’m doing this year for my Christmas cards, Jennifer, thank you so much for the inspiration and the opportunity to win the Celeste Snowflake dies, I hope I hear from you!

  88. Love Love Love!! The flower or poinsettia is so pretty. I love the colors used for the card sample too. I am just starting to really like the shaker cards…since they have gotten A LOT simpler to do with dies (rather than cutting around with scissors, as in the old days).

  95. Wow! How creative is that card!!? It’s so lovely with the snowflake die cut in the lower middle of the card–adds so much dimension!
    I love the multiple die cuts used–beautiful card!! Thanks so much for sharing!! 🙂

  100. I love the way you used all those different dies, and made your beautiful shaker design!

  104. I love so many things about your card! I would not have thought to make my own shaker elements with shrink plastic – this is brilliant! I also love the crimped background – I have a wavy crimper and will definitely need to dust it off now! Love, love, love how you made the snowflake flowers! Absolutely gorgeous card and thank you for the awesome video!

  110. Fabulous card! Love the shrink plastic polar bears! They are definitely going on my wish list.
