Glittering Snowflakes

The glitter is glistening on my cheek, I can see it out of the corner of my eye as I write this.  Ah, glitter, we have a love/hate relationship you and I.  Anyway, after the glitter dust settled, here is the card that emerged:
 


I cut the shaker window from my Silhouette.  Do you know my Silhouette is now eight years old?!  I'm wondering if that large box wrapped under the tree happens to be a new Cameo, hmm...

The background is dry embossed with a folder from The Paper Studio.  I sprayed everything with Tsukineko Shimmer Spritz Frost, too bad that doesn't show up because it really makes the card.  The hills are cut from Mama Elephant's Landscape Trio.  I edged it with glue and sprinkled Michaels glitter on it.  The sequins and beads in the shaker are also from Michaels.  I used two layers of Fun Foam to support the shaker.  Next time I would only use one layer.  The sentiment is from a retired LOTV set, and the silver embossing powder is from PSX (about 20 years old, and still kicking).

This card was inspired by two wonderful card challenges:
