Fairy and Angel Christmas Shaker Decoration

Fairy and Angel Christmas Shaker Decoration. This Christmas decoration was made for a group swap, Winter Wonderland. For the image I used Panduro paper. Unfortunately I don’t think this paper is made any more but any Christmas scene can be used instead.

The first thing I did was to cut out the elements needed. I used two crinkly circle dies to cut two plain white card circles and a circular image of the same size. It is a good idea to put double sided sticky tape on one of the plain cards before cutting. It makes life a lot easier.

On the plain circle which does not have sticky tape, cut a small circle offset a little as shown in the picture above. It needs to be offset to allow room for embellishments. For the fairy, I used a Tattered Lace fairy die. If you don’t have this die you can substitute with something else.

I originally cut the fairy out in silver card, but I wasn’t too keen on how it looked, so I cut another out in a scrap of leftover paper, covered it with Versafine black ink and embossed it with silver tinsel coloured embossing powder. It curled up a bit with the heat gun but this added a bit more dimension.

I then stamped the edge of the circle with Lavinia Stamps star stamp and embossed them with the embossing powder. Once this was done I attached acetate to the back and used double sided foam tape around the back. I used seed beads to put in the shaker. I mounted the image onto the plain circle with the sticky tape and then mounted it onto the shaker. I used some silver ribbon as a hanger by sticking it between the shaker decoration and a circle of patterned paper. To finish it off, I adhered some flat back pearls and Bling on a Roll.
