Hey everybody, I’m back with a second post on this fine Friday morning. Only one more Friday in December and I can’t believe how quickly the weeks continue to fly by – Christmas will be here in a flash! I’m delighted to share an Emily Moore Designs DT inspiration project created with our awesome Ornament Gift Card Holder Die, along with our Christmas Sayings-Dainty Cursive Font Digital Sentiments and Card Sentiment Dies used on the inside. I went ‘outside the box’ a bit with this card and used the ornament die to cut a shaker aperture into the card flap rather than use the gift card holder element, and I love how it turned out. Shaker cards never disappoint!

I cut a 5-1/2″ square top-folding card base from Neenah Classic Crest Solar White along with layering panels from a couple prints in the Keep It Simple Back To Basics Rose 12×12 Collection Pack. Using the Ornament Gift Card Holder Die, I cut the shaker aperture into the front flap and added the ornament top which I cut from CutCardStock Bright Gold Foil. I created the shaker using Grafix Craft Plastic, Scrapbook Adhesives Crafty Power Tape and GKD Shaker Strips.

I used a variety of Keep It Simple Sprinkles for the shaker bits, and then added a large sentiment which I die cut from CutCardStock Gold Glitter cardstock using the Sizzix Ribbon Thinlits. I have to say that these Sizzix Thinlits are pretty popular because I realized a while ago that I also used them on my other project posted earlier this morning, lol! Totally unintentional, as I made the other project several months ago! :P

I cut the inside panel from Solar White cardstock and embellished it with leftover strips of the plaid paper and gold foil cardstock used on the front. I printed the Christmas Sayings Digital Sentiments (a free download, by the way) on Solar White cardstock as well, and cut it with a Card Sentiment Die. It’s very cool that Emily sized the digital sentiments to cut with the Card Sentiment Dies!
