This is also post number 19 for my "Challenge me a Christmas Card" series - it's been so much fun, I might just do it again next year! This card comes from two challenges - one set by my crafty friend, Teresa Xanthos, who challenged me to make an interactive card. So I made a snowflake shaker card. The other challenge was from a sciencey friend, April, who wanted to see a window card.

Not only are shaker cards difficult to make (well, for me, anyway), but they're difficult to photograph, too!!
I used some older stamps - the snowflakes are from Stampin' Up, and the sentiment is from an Australian company called Annabelle Stamps (unfortunately, they are no more - which is very sad).  I was going to use some newer snowflake stamps I have, but I couldn't remember whether white StazOn ink and StazOn cleaner should be used on photopolymer stamps, so I decided to stay on the safe side and use good old fashioned rubber stamps for stamping on the acetate.

It’s not a party without a prize - and with prizes every day there are several chances to win! Today’s prize is generously supplied by Wplus9 so you’ll definitely want to win! Simply leave a comment on this post - then head back to taheerah-atchia.com and leave a comment there too! You must leave a comment on Taheerah’s blog as well as mine in order to be eligible to win!

You have until 23:59 EST on 31st December 2016 to enter.

I wanted to use some Wplus9 stamps in my card today, but I realised that I don't have any Christmassy stamps from Wplus9! Shock Horror! I'm going to have to rectify this situation very soon!
