Who doesn’t like a Christmas cracker? I’ve been making my own crackers for years. These mini crackers are perfect to use as a nameplate for Sunday lunch. They would look good as Christmas Decor items, possibly wired into some garlands across the mantle piece.

They are die-cut using the Cracker and Treabox dies. Last year I showed a couple of ways to make up these crackers and a box to store them in. You can find the links below.

I do love a shaker card. I’ve made quite a few this year. This card features the Merry & Bright bundle. The back panel is just one shaker window but of course, you see three separate shaker windows on the front.

The sequin mix is from stash. I am trying to use what I have and these colours match the card perfectly. The card front is hand-stamped. I love it, so colourful and bright.

How to Make a Shaker Christmas Ornament

I’ve used the Deckled Circle dies to create this lovely circle shaker ornament. I’m really pleased with how it turned out. Do you like it?

The Beary Cute punch punches out the bears in the “A Walk in the Forest” designer series paper (DSP). The Merriest Trees dies also cut the trees from the same DSP. I’ve used both here to create my scene in the ornament.

I will admit the silver and gold sequins in the shaker are from my stash so I can link to where I got them. I’m sure you have some in your stash too, that you can use.

I love all the different layering pieces to make these gorgeous Christmas lights. The Christmas light bulb is stamped in Real Red, Garden Green and Daffodil Delight. I’ve added extra layering details with the gorgeous silver glimmer paper. The best part of the glimmer paper is that it doesn’t shed glitter everywhere.

I have a question to ask, do you prefer white or coloured lights on the tree? I love the coloured ones more. They are much more cheerful. Let me know your answer in the comments below.

This straightforward card design makes great use of your patterned paper. I have cut the paper at an angle and can use the second piece to make another card. The paper is aptly named, Merry, Bold & Bright. I love this bright dot design, don’t you?

The strings of lights are die-cut with matching cardstock. The dies are the Merry & Bright and they coordinate with both the paper and the stamp set.

I’m so happy with how this card turned out. We made this card in a recent card club, and I wanted to share it with you too. My colour inspiration came from the matching paper, the Merry, Bold & Bright Designer series paper (DSP). I will admit that the silver foil sheet, used for the string and filaments is from my stash and not current.

The silver glimmer paper used for the bulb toppers is adhesive-backed. The backing paper is removed so easily, it’s a dream. It also die cuts well. What colour combination would you use for the lights?

I’m really getting back into making shaker cards, so expect to see more shaker cards and tags on my blog in the run-up to Christmas. This is a card we made in the card club that I host in my Facebook Group.

It is easy to make using the Merriest Tree Dies. Full disclosure, I did use some sequins from my stash for the shaker elements. I have a ton and want to use them up. Do you have anything you are trying to use up from your stash?

This is a very simple Christmas card that we made in October card club. The die cuts layer up to give interest and dimension to the wreath. The lovely red bow sets off the whole design. I have only added glue at the centre of the bow so it fluffs up nicely.

The stamp set is Merry & Bright and is quickly becoming a favourite. I love this font. They are so easy to cut out around the coloured rectangle. Anything that is easy wins my vote.
