Left: Back of Easel Card, Right: Front of Easel Card
So I'm trying to get out of a creativity slump..had these snowmen images sitting around and decided to put them to good use. This will be a Hat trick challenge: 1) Just Add Ink's sketch challenge 2) Christmas with the Cuties' ~ The Cutest Snowmen challenge and 3) the Holly and Ivy Christmas Challenge. Coloured the snowmen images and I haven't made a shaker card forever so decided to try one for this card. I made this card twice as the first one..I glued the image upside down..and the fix..turned the card into a back easel card.. Gave it another shot and would you believe??.I did the same thing..yet again..I give up..some days are just not meant for creating... Anyways here are my versions of a *back easel* card.
Deets: Spellbinders Heirloom die, unknown Snowman trio stamped images, Making Memories patten paper, Stampin Up card stock and glimmer paper
**EDIT: The Just Add Ink Design Team has chosen my card as one of the Honourable Mentions for their sketch challenge. What great news to wake up to on a Thursday morning! Thank you for the wonderful sketch to jumpstart my Christmas card!**
If anyone knows which company makes the Snowmen trio stamp, please let me know.
Thanks for dropping by and taking the time to leave some blog love.
Smiles. :)

Hmmm - I really like they way you have used the glimmer paper to boarder your card. the Stamping on the pink card also creates great interest to the card front. Lots of lovely detail. Chantell Just Add Ink
Oh my Sheri. Glad you're working on that slump because this card is spectacular. You my friend have such a way with snowmen. Love the background stamping on the card face, your choice of colours (the pinks are stunning), and that beautiful bow. Simply awesome!
Thanks so much Chantell. Really enjoyed working with the JAI sketch challenge. Hope to be able to particpate in more challenges.
Awww..thank you Penny!! Lots of my faves..snowmen..pink Christmas..really enjoying getting back in the swing of cardmaking. :)
These are such pretty and sparkly easel cards, Sherri! I love how the glimmer edges add another layer of sparkle to the background stamping and having the snow family inside the shaker window is so fun! Thanks for sharing with us at Just Add Ink this week.
Well I'm glad you were able to salvage your cards Sheri as they are both beautiful pink frosty shaker creations! Thanks for joining us at Just Add Ink this week.
Thank you Jan for popping by and leaving some blog love. My latest addiction..glimmer paper..just to pizzazz the cards up some. Finally a chance to use the vintage ornament dies! ;) Looking forward to another JAI challenge. :)
Hello Kim, I know I was devestated when I went to open the finished card and realized that the shaker was glued on the backside of the card....than I thought of the easel...a crafting opportunity! Hope to try another JAI challenge in the near future. :)
So Cute. Thank you for sharing with us at THACC Marlene
