Do you have the Made With Love set? Stop using it for baby cards and be like me and turn the deer into the sweetest Christmas Shaker Ornament. Now I wish that I could say that a shaker ornament is my original brilliant idea, but I can't take credit for this idea, I've seen shaker ornament ideas all over Pintrest. Creating a shaker ornament is not that different than creating a shaker card. The biggest difference is that usually in shaker cards you would use the foam adhesive strips to create the shaker area but since I didn't want the foam adhesive strips visible from the side I cut out scallop frames, and tons of them!!!!!
I don't remember off the top of my head how many frames I used but it was a lot. I would guess around 10. I wanted it build up enough to add lots of shaker bits. To create the frames I used the Layering Circles Framelits and I used the large scallop and I think the 2nd biggest circle. I taped them together with some post it tape and ran them over and over through the big shot with some black cardstock until I had enough frames. Then I just used some Tombow glue and stuck them all together, stacking up until I had a depth I was happy with.
The reindeer was colored and cut out I made him standing behind a snowy hill. Then I added all my shaker bits and finally added some bakers twine on top. It's so cute!! These would make adorable gifts!
Thanks for looking, see you soon!!!!!
