Penguin Party Shaker
by Jeanne Jachna

Thanks for stopping by! I hope your January is off to a good start! Did you know that Poppystamps has a monthly challenge? It’s a great way to share what you’re making and see what others are making. This month’s challenge is to add a shaker element to your project!

I’m always looking for a reason to celebrate and this card could cover just about any occasion!  I started with the shaker element, cutting the Nordic Lacy Plate from white and pink cardstock. I layered the pink cut over a darker shade of pink, and then cut the opening with the Scalloped Pinpoint Frame. Next I added plastic to it’s reverse and then layered it over the white die cut after I loaded it with sprinkles.

Now for the fun part! Embellishing! I die cut and assembled the Fancy Gift die to create a focal point. (Spoiler alert… the Fancy Gift die comes with a smaller package too!) Next I die cut and assembled the Birthday Penguin and Jubilee Penguin and placed them in front of the gift.

A sprinkle of Festive Balloons and a simple Congrats sentiment finish the design!

Definitely a party going on here! If you’d like to join us and submit your own shaker card, you can always find the latest challenge by clicking the “Challenge” tab at the top of the blog. Have a great day!
