A2 Panels: Center and cut one oval nesting die in one, and one centered circle die from the other, distress ink blend the two remaining panels.

Hand trim a piece of white cardstock into a wavy snowbank.
Heat emboss sentiments in white onto black cardstock & trim.
Attach the distress ink blended panel atop A2 card base and glue.
With the circle & oval cut cardstock, adhere transparency to underside, add snowbank to transparency and line up the cut fun foam and affix to transparency leaving the underside (space for sequins) face up to dry completely.
Fill underside with sequins and attach card base and let dry.
Attach images and sentiments.
I hope you have enjoyed these cards as much as I have enjoyed creating them.
Shaker cards are so fun to make and shake!
Have the very best holidays and New Year!
