 How to

1. Cut an aperture in your base card and cut a larger mat in white to accommodate the width of the shaker adhesive tape.
2. Take the waste piece of the aperture and randomly emboss using the snowflakes dies. You are not cutting so remember to use a tan mat and the embossing plates recommended with your chosen machine. When finished run through again but without the dies.
3. Randomly distress with your distress inks. (debossed side for shaker card and embossed for complementary card)
4. Cut 4 sets of snowflakes (2 x White card 2 x pale blue card) and one blue and one white “let it snow” sentiment.
5. Glue a piece of acetate to the inside of the aperture on the main card.
6. Place the embossed and distressed piece of card and glue it centrally on the mat. Edge with the 3D foam tape ensuring there are no gaps.
7. Hang the smaller snowflakes from the shaker tape with white cotton thread and tip a small amount of glitter, rock candy and snow ice.
8. Remove the protective covering from the shaker tape position the main card aperture over the mat and press down to seal.
9. Decorate the outside of the card.
