T-rrific Dino Snow Globe Christmas Shaker Card


Hello friends.  Today I have a shaker card that I created with products from Trinity Stamps.  Earlier this year, they came out with some really cute dinosaur stamps, which I had a ton of fun playing with.  I was actually trying to decorate my tree and got to thinking that I sure could have used some little grabbers to get at the top of the tree - hence, the idea to make a card with this T-Rex decorating his tree.  I knew it would be cute as a snow globe shaker card - so this is what I came up with.

To start this card, I used the Snowglobe-Shaped Card Die Set to cut the card base from some red striped patterned paper.  I also cut the cardbase from white cardstock, so that I could beef up the inside of the card because my patterned paper wasn't very sturdy.  I glued the right side of the card base on the inside of the card and then put my sentiment on it.


For the snow globe, I cut out 8 snow globe pieces to layer together to create the well for the shaker pieces.  

In inked a piece of white cardstock with Tumbled Glass and Prize Ribbon Distress Oxide Ink.  Once my ink was dry, I ran it through the die cutter with the snow globe die and the inside piece of the snow globe that cuts the openings for the snowflakes.  

For the scene inside the snow globe, I used the new Tiny Christmas Tree Die for his tree.  The T-Rex is from the T-riffic Dinos Stamp Set.  Once I had him colored I used the coordinating die set to cut him out.  The stocking cap with the reindeer antlers come from the new Festivi-cheese Stamp Set.  The ornaments, candy cane and packages from from the stamp set called Little Christmas Tree, which from the  Stamptember 2024 release. 

Before I sealed up my snow globe, I added some of the Classic Christmas Confetti.

The Copic colors I used for this card are:

  • YR20, YR21, YR23, YR24, YR27 - Dino
  • E33, E35, E39 - Antlers
  • R14, R29, R39 - Reds
  • YG01, YG05, YG17 - Greens
To finish up my card, I used the "Merry" die from the Simply Sentimental: Merry Die Set.

This was a really fun card to make and I am sure there is some little friend out there that would love to receive it.

Thank you for stopping by today and I hope you have a great holiday season.
