Fa-la-la slimline

Howdy, peeps! I hope you’ll have an awesome Monday! I’m popping in this morning with a Keep It Simple DT inspiration project featuring one of the stamp sets in the new Bizzy Hands Collection just released a few weeks ago! OMGoodness, there are so many stamp sets in this collection to choose from – you’ll want them all! You undoubtedly know that I enjoy creating Christmas projects all year long so I chose the super adorable Christmas Gnomes for this slimline shaker. I also used the new Slimline Cuts Stitched Squares die and an assortment of our new polymer clay and sequins in the Sprinkles line. There’s nothing more fun than a trio of gnome dudes on a shaker! I just can’t get enough of these fun new products!

I cut my go-to slimline size card base (3-3/4″ x 9″) from CutCardStock 100# Cougar Smooth White cardstock along with a green layering panel from a paper in the Bunny Season 6×9 Collection Pack and two layering panels from papers in the Ruby 12×12 Collection Pack. I used the new Slimline Cuts Stitched Squares die to cut the shaker panel from one of the red layering panels. I stamped some musical notes from the Christmas Gnomes stamp set on the shaker panel in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and the gnomes in Memento Espresso Truffle ink on 80# Cougar Smooth White which I colored with alcohol markers and added some accents with a Sakura Clear Star Gelly Roll pen. I fussy cut the gnomes and edged them with a Memento Rich Cocoa marker.

I stamped two sentiments in Memento Tuxedo Black ink from the Christmas Gnomes stamp set on the back panel of the shaker. I used Grafix Crystal Clear Craft Plastic and 1/2″ double-sided foam strips to create the shaker. Then I added Polymer Clay-Candy Cane Red & White Christmas Mix, Polymer Clay-Mouse Christmas Mix and Sequins-Iridescent Snowflakes from the new Sprinkles line for the shaker bits! I adhered the stamped gnomes and added several Jade Enamel Dots.

I cut the inside panel from 80# Cougar Smooth White cardstock and embellished it with a wide strip of paper from the Ruby Collection Pack. I stamped a sentiment from the Scandinavian Christmas Gnomes stamps in Tuxedo Black ink and layered the panel on an additional paper from the Ruby Collection Pack.
