Ok laugh all you like! Do you spot the "egg" in that globe above? It was NOT meant to be there! And I only saw it now when I uploaded it. I could have deleted it and gone to the work of a new picture, but I figured we all needed a laugh! Anyway, this card as well as the two following are made with the Snowglobe dies and stamp set from Hot Off The Press. Yes, I branched out a bit on these. No apologies!

(Spot my kitchen light reflection in this one? Awful, I know!)

my first shaker card (Christmas)

WOOHOO!! I even impressed myself with this one! LOL! I've been so intimidated by the shaker card instruction tutorials I've seen everywhere that I kept saying, "Nope! Not for me! Can't use my favorite embossing and sponging techniques, plus far too finicky! And too childish, yada yada!" Well, those were all excuses! Here's my first one and lo and behold, I could emboss AND sponge on it AND it's not childish AT ALL! 

Try it! I don't have a tute here but you can just do an online search and you'll find instructions all over the place. Or. Do like I did and just strike out on your own and trial-and-error it! I'm gonna make more yet...wait and see! BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT DIFFICULT!
