Crealies Mini Snowman Shaker Cards





Hi friends....sharing a mini Tutorial to make these fun mini snowman shakers which you can use as mini note-cards, tags, bookmarks, ornaments or even as fridge magnets...

In short they are so cute you can use them to make so many different handmade gifts
for the  festive season!



I used the  new Crealies snowman die to quickly make these little snowmen by mixing and matching colors. The hats are made out of shiny black glitter foam and I mixed different pattern papers to make the  scarves.



You can use the  versatile Crea-Nest-Lies XXL circle dies to create the shaker bodies
for the  snowmen.



You can use double sided adhesive foam or die cut 2 foam discs to create the wall
for your shaker. Also cut a circular frame in paper to layer atop.



This is how your shaker wall will look with the layers glued on top of each other.



Cut an acetate circle and sandwich it between your foam disc wall and the  paper disc
as shown below.



Also cut a solid circle from pattern paper and cardstock for the base of your shaker.



So here are the  parts of your shaker snowman: circular foam frames with
acetate sandwiched and base circles.



I added a silver glitter foam snowflake to the base of the shaker. Add glitter balls, styrofoam snow balls, tiny stars or whatever else you fancy inside your shaker.


I stuck to traditional Christmas colors


Don't be tempted to add too many shaker elements in your shaker
or it will not shake nicely!



Glue the base over the shaker and let it dry nicely.
Finally glue on your snowman on to its shaker body.


I add a backing so that my snowmen could stand...you could add jumbo paper clips,
magnets or ribbon hangers to them and use them in different ways.



I hope you like this idea of little snowmen shakers
