Hello Crafters!  I don't know about you, but I love this 12 Days of Crafting Advent Calendar!  We are going through this one week at a time, which will lead us right up to Christmas!  Don't be confused, this isn't a Christmas advent calendar.  It is a crafting advent calendar.  

Last week, we revealed what was behind door #3--embellishments that can be used to adhere to a card, but they make great shaker cards!  I combined this month's Paper Pumpkin Kit, Cozy Christmas, with our embellishments to create this week's card.  The Paper Pumpkin Kit provides all that you will need 3 different designs to make a total of nine cards.  I decided to create an alternative card to this kit by making my shaker card.

These are the products used for this weeks' demonstration:

PAPER

• October Paper Pumpkin Kit -- Cozy Christmas
• Window Sheets

INK

• Versamark Ink Pad
• Pecan Pie (provided in the kit)

ADHESIVES

• Foam Adhesive Strips
• Wow! Metallic Gold Embossing Powder

The first thing I did, is take the basic card and layer piece that go together in the kit.  Then, I placed the the delicate ornament punch out on the layer piece, using just a little bit of washing tape to hold it in place.  I then traced around the ornament with a pencil and using my paper snips, cut the out-line out.

I then took a window sheet 3-3/4 by 3-1/4 and adhered the delicate ornament punch out to the window sheet using the multipurpose liquid glue -- just dotting around the image.  It will adhere nicely to the window sheet.

I took the inside ornament punch out and glued that to the base card, making sure it is in the correct place to match up with my window sheet.  

I used the Foam Adhesive Strips to place around the backside of the layered piece, placing one strip to go across the top, a strip on both sides, a middle strip to place at the top of the window sheet, and then I had a strip ready to adhere when I completed adding the embellishments. The foam all around the window sheet will keep the embellishments from falling out.  If you have any beaded embellishments, you can add a few of those to help the movement of all the embellishments.  After adding the embellishments, I sealed the bottom with my last strip of the foam strips.

Next, I added the hanger image that you punch out, my sentiment, and some embellishments that were included in the kit.

I chose to emboss my sentiment with the Gold Embossing Powder, although the Pecan Pie Ink Pad provided in the kit is sufficient.
