2016 Christmas cards - Day 9 - Christmas tree shaker card

All my shaker cards to this point had been very simple shapes, so I thought I'd try something different for this card.

I started by part embossing a piece of white card with a snowflakes die, then used square dies to cut out a Christmas tree shape. I filled the shaker with sequins and gold punched stars, then fixed green card to the back. I finished with another gold star on top of the tree and a sentiment at the bottom, then fixed it to a card base.

If I was doing this card again I think I'd add glitter glue lines inside the tree shape (like tinsel) to add a bit more interest to the shape.
