"Peace on Earth"
An aperture is cut in the front of the card in a size larger than the bauble. Holographic silver card behind the aperture provides a nice backdrop.
Two baubles are stamped and heat-embossed on white card.
Each of the stamped baubles is placed behind acetate and a bauble frame cut from black and silver card, with foam tape between the frame and the white card to provide space for the shaker elements. I like to use a mixture of seed beads and sequins in colours suitable to match the card.
The two bauble shakers are sandwiched together with a length of silver twine between them and glued together with PVA. The sandwich is left to dry before fixing into the aperture in the card by hanging from a brad.
As a final embellishment, a couple more baubles are stamped & heat-embossed then diecut and fixed to the front of the card with Pinflair to raise them a little.
OK, that's the end of the shaker cards for now. I'm not saying there won't be more this year, but I'm not saying there will be either :-) Have a great weekend everyone. Maddy x

Amazing baubles, thank you for sharing how you've made them, I will certainly have a go but I don't think mine will be as precise as yours. Keep warm this weekend.
