Merry Christmas Shaker Card

Hello crafty friends!  Hope everyone is having a lovely weekend!  Yesterday we had our annual cookie baking day and we had so much fun making Christmas cookies for our friends and family.  This has been a tradition for years and it is so nice that we continue the tradition even with everyone's crazy schedules.  

And our finished product:

 Do you have any fun Christmas traditions?  

Today I have a Christmas shaker card to share with you that I made featuring Lawn Fawn's Winter Sparrows stamp set. 

I started by masking a moon and distressing the background with several different blue distress inks.  I wanted to have a snowy scene, so I used the Falling Snow stencil from Simon Says Stamp with white embossing paste. Sorry the picture is blurry, I had a difficult time getting a clear picture. 

I used the Stitched Rectangle die from Simon Says Stamp as the border for the shaker card.  These dies are perfect for shaker cards.  I just love how the stitched border adds a polished look to the card.  Here's a closer look: 

I'm going to play along with the Christmas challenge going on at the Lawnscaping Blog. 

I'm also entering this card in the Winter Inspiration challenge at Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge.

Thanks for coming by and have a great week!
