The January 2015 Simon Says Stamp Card Kit is available HERE.
This kit is gorgeous. I am not usually a purple person but this kit may just change my mind. The colors of purples, blues, grays and whites are fabulous. The Winter Wishes Stamp Set is amazing and one that will be used again and again!
I created the frame for the shaker card by die cutting the Bo Bunny Altitude 6x6 Patterned Paper included in the kit with a In Stitches Stitched Rectangles Die and a In Stitches Stitched Circles Die. I kept both the frame and circle die cut. The circle die cut will go inside the shaker.
Next I took the Stitched Slopes and Hills Dies and die cut another Bo Bunny Altitude 6x6 Patterned Paper. Then I used the In Stitches Stitched Circles Die to die cut two half circles to layer over the bottom of the background circle.
I stamped the greeting from the Winter Wishes Stamp Set on the frame using the SSS White Pigment Ink included in the kit. Then I took the Grape Fizz Perfect Pearls and the brush from the kit and added the pigment powder to the stamped greeting. Water spritzed from the mini mister "seals" the pigment powders in place. I stamped another greeting below the scripty greeting using the SSS White Pigment Ink.
I die cut the house and trees from the cardstock included in the January 2015 Card Kit using the Village Dies. I tucked the house and trees into the Stitched Slopes and Hills Dies and stamped several of the snowflakes and stars around the house and trees using the SSS White Pigment Ink. I applied the Grape Fizz Perfect Pearls with the brush from the kit and spritzed water from the mini mister to seal the pigment powder. I used the Wedding Dress Pico Embellisher to add snow detail to the treetops and house.
I adhered a die cut transparency to the back of the frame and then adhered two layers of foam tape to the back of the frame and filled the frame with seed beads.
To see how I created snowy shaker card using the Simon Says Stamp January 2015 Card Kit, watch the video below or view on youtube HERE:
