 Pop, sparkle, and snow! This pop-out gatefold card is a winter wonderland dream, with a glittering snowflake that steals the show.

Shaker card

  

12 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS IN JULY - DAY 5  

Warm wood tones, a simple DIY shaker frame, and a sprinkle of holiday sparkle I loved mixing rustic textures with elegant poinsettias and glittery details for this festive card. A little shimmer goes a long way! #shakercard #handmadechristmascard #papercraftlove

 This card came together with a warm, rustic-meets-elegant feel. I started with a wood-themed background for a cosy, natural base, then built a simple but effective DIY shaker frame filled with shiny sequins for movement and sparkle. I embellished it with elegant poinsettias, layered details, and just the right amount of glitter and shine to add a festive glow without overwhelming the design. It’s a lovely mix of rustic charm and holiday glamour—easy to make, but eye-catching too!

 A truly special winter wonderland-inspired card with a unique hexagonal design that adds a modern twist to traditional festive shapes. I used shiny blue and crisp white poinsettias, paired with delicate silver Christmas foliage, to evoke an icy, elegant feel.

Camera shaped Christmas card

  Say cheese! I had so much fun making this festive camera-shaped shaker card – perfect for capturing the magic of Christmas! 

 

I used gold mirror card for the body of the camera to give it a glamorous holiday sparkle, layered with pretty patterned papers for a soft, whimsical feel. The shaker element adds that extra festive touch, filled with sparkly sequins that shimmer when you give it a shake! I embellished it with delicate soft coral poinsettias and soft green die-cut foliage, which frame the lens beautifully and bring a fresh twist on traditional Christmas colours.
