Instructions:

1. Cut a Sam E. Snowman Shaker Die out of each: card stock, acetate sheet and craft foam.
Tip: I layer the card stock and craft foam and cut together for a perfect fit.

2. Cut hat, nose, scarf, and hat band out of desired colored card stock. I chose the Holly for his hat (other options come with this die set).  I used the Tranquil Tree Die for the arms.

3. Assemble snowman shaker by layering outer card stock, acetate sheet, craft foam die cut shape.

4. Add sequins then layer backing on top of the sequin/foam sandwich. I used a light blue paper for the back of the shaker to show off the white sequins.



Here is the completed Snowman shaker:



5. To create the background, I used Simply Snowflakes Stamp Set and clear embossed with Ranger Ink Embossing Ink and Clear Embossing Powder onto navy card stock cut using the largest Polka Dot Rectangle Backdrop Die, and then I used Distress Spray Stain in Picket Fence onto the Dainty Dots Background Builder Stamp, stamped onto the card stock then dried with the heat gun to give the effect of little snowflakes.





6. Cut the largest Basic Rectangle Backdrop Die out of white and adhere the Navy embossed/stained piece on top.

7. Cut the largest Basic Oval Backdrop Die Set out of white and layer onto the Polka Dot Oval Backdrop Die Set out of Navy card stock, layer together and adhere.

8. Adhere Oval layers onto the card base of Navy and White card stock.

9. Adhere the assembled Snowman Shaker onto the oval layer.

10. Die cut sentiment strip from the Vintage Frame Die Set, stamp sentiment from the Frosty Stamp and Die Collection  and add heart die cut from the Frosty coordinating die. Pop out using Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L Foam Squares.

And there you have a Darling Snowman Shaker card!
