Good Wednesday morning. I guess it is no secret that I love the Impression Obsession Deer Trio set since I have used it so often lately. I thought they would be perfect cut in white and placed in a simple shaker card with the blue and white snowflake background. I loved adding the little touch of green and red embellishment to their necks and to the top of the frame.
I used the frame as a template and lightly drew a circle with a pencil where the frame needed to be placed. I attached the deer with glossy accents to the card base inside the drawn circle. I added the evergreen and berry embellishments to the necks of the deer for a touch of holiday color.
I really sort of cheated on this shaker card because the flower soft snow is not loose. I wanted the appearance of a snow globe shaker without the hassle of putting the snow inside the shaker pouch. I applied a light coating of glossy accents to the bottom of the circle around the deer’s feet and carefully applied flower soft to the glue and packed it down with my finger to make sure it was secured to the glue.
I attached the self sticking pouch over the deer scene and then attached the frame over it with mounting tape. I thought the pine sprigs and red bow at the top was the perfect way to add a small embellishment and another touch of color.
I appreciate all of your supportive comments on my posts each day. Thank you so much. I hope you have a great day.

When I began stamping over 10 years ago, shaker cards were the 'ultimate' to me and still are today. So nice to see the beautiful one that you have created Kittie.

Your card is so pretty! I love the white deer and the snow globe is such a lovely way to display them. And I can totally understand why you stuck the flower soft down. lol
Thanks for sharing your beautiful design! :)

This card is a beauty. Great idea making the snow stay put. One of the things I don't like about shaker cards is the mess, this is an excellent creative solution.
The greenery makes a perfect embellishment. Impression Obsession dies have gone to the top of my list after seeing so many beautiful inspiring cards created by you. Thank you for the daily creative inspiration, it really does inspire me and makes my day brighter.
