Christmas time can be joyous and wonderful, and also exhausting, especially for moms. Moms often end up being the chief planner, cook, maid, gift buyer, decorator, hostess, and peace maker during the holiday season. Spellbinders new Merry Mayhem collection reflects this kind of exhaustion that many of us feel, sometimes before December has even begun.
I used the Snow Done die set along with the Joy-ish stamp set to make a simple shaker card. All my cardstock is from Spellbinders ColorWheel cardstock pack of 48.
I doubled the foam tape I used behind my front panel, die cut using Essential Arches die set, to make room for the thickness of my penguin and iceberg die cuts as well as my sequin mix.

Except for the sweet MFT figures, I custom created every die cut myself on my Silhouette Cameo 2. The background is using Distress Oxide inks blended together. All the coloring was done using alcohol markers. I printed the sentiments from my PC using a font called Libel Suit. The shaker elements are a mix of several things.
I am entering this into the MFT Sketch Challenge.
