🎄Day 5: DIY Christmas Tree Shaker Card | No Dies Needed | Christmas in July 2026

Happy Sunday!

I hope you have a fantastic day!

Welcome to Day 5 of the 12 Days of Christmas in July 2026 collaboration hosted by Monika (PaperMona), with Katarina joining in the festive fun!

Today's theme is Shaker Card, and I decided to create a festive Christmas tree shaker card using a template I designed myself. Instead of using cutting dies, I carefully cut the shaker window by hand with a craft knife, making this project easy to adapt to any shape or size.

To make the Christmas tree stand out against the dark gnome patterned paper, I added a layer of beautiful gold metallic cardstock. The shaker features two separate apertures—one filled with sparkling gold angels and the other with turquoise snowflakes—creating plenty of movement, colour, and festive sparkle.

I hope this project inspires you to create your own custom shaker cards and experiment with different shaker fillings and handmade templates. Thank you so much for watching! If you enjoyed today's project, I'd love it if you gave the video a thumbs up, subscribed to my channel, and joined me tomorrow for Day 6 of the series.
