Hey friends! Today I’m sharing inspiration using some new products from the Pink & Main October 2025 release.

My project today is a festive shaker card—perfect for the holiday season.

To start, I die cut the Oval Forest View Die from white cardstock to create the window for my shaker. (If you joined the SCT Fall Event, you may already have this gem in your stash!) I lined the back of the panel with double-sided adhesive and added a piece of acetate to form the shaker window.

On another piece of white cardstock, I blended Light Orchid and Medium Orchid Ink, finishing with Dark Lilac for depth, using my large blending brushes. I then splattered the panel with white paint to mimic falling snow. This colorful background peeks perfectly through the shaker window.

Next, I lined the back of the window panel with foam tape to create the well for my shaker, then filled it with a beautiful mix of shaker elements. I love how they catch the light and bring a ton of shine to the finished card.

For the focal point, I reached for the Flurry of Fun Stamp Set—this snowman just melts my heart! I colored him with a mix of OLO and Copic Markers, then cut him out using the coordinating die. I added him to the bottom of the card front so he looks right at home in the snowy scene.

To complete the design, I heat-embossed a sentiment in white on black cardstock and popped it onto the card. That crisp contrast makes the greeting stand out beautifully.

This release is filled with so many fun holiday products! Be sure to stop by my Instagram account where we’re celebrating with an Instagram Hop—you’ll find plenty of inspiration and ideas from the creative community.
