chill brr-thday slimline shaker

Howdy peeps! I’m back on this fine Tuesday morning with another DT inspiration project! I created this fun slimline shaker for Keep It Simple with the new KIS Slimline Cuts Stitched Circles die; sequins and beads from the new Sprinkles line; and papers, stamps and dies from the adorable Penguin Party Collection! I know everybody is ready for the cold weather to be gone but I just couldn’t resist creating one more frosty brr-thday card with these cuties!

The 3-3/4″ x 9″ slimline card base was cut from CutCardStock Cougar Smooth 100# White cardstock. Layering panels were cut from CutCardStock Lessebo Aubergine cardstock and a purple polka dot paper in the KIS Penguin Party 6×9 Collection Pack. The front panel for the shaker was cut from a coordinating paper in the 6×9 Collection Pack using the KIS Slimline Cuts Stitched Circles die and backed with a piece of Grafix Crystal Clear Craft Plastic.

I stamped the penguins from the Penguins Collection Stamps in Memento Tuxedo Black, colored them with alcohol markers, and cut them with the coordinating Penguins Outline Dies. I stamped the sentiment (from the same stamp set) in Catherine Pooler Queen For A Day ink. I always LOVE adding the shaker mix – and I’m always tempted to add too much – but I did hold back somewhat, lol. This shaker mix consists of five types of sequins and beads from the new KIS Sprinkles line.

The inside panel was cut from Cougar Smooth 80# White cardstock and embellished with the polka dot paper and purple cardstock used on the front. I stamped a sentiment (from the same Penguins stamp set) in purple ink and layered the panel on the purple cardstock.
