Welcome to the Fun n’ Crafty Blog Hop for September This month we will be showcasing project ideas from the new Holiday Catalog. Last year's holiday catalog did not impress me.  The company has more than made up for it with this year's catalog.  I want all the things! After a bit of play, I finally decided on using my new Christmas tree punch. And I absolutely love how it turned out. So make sure to check out the list of stops on the hop at the bottom of this post to see them all!

This card is all about my new holiday catalog supplies.  I found a cute idea of creating a shaker card behind a punched image and knew i wanted to use my new Tree punch.  After a bit of trial and error (forgot to add another layer of plastic to contain the sequins), I successfully made a shaker card!  Adding a bit of bling with some silver glimmer helped complete the sentiment and the card.  If I can find a way to make the shaker pocket faster, this would be a great fun Christmas card to send to family.  Might have to play a bit more.  But overall, I adore my new holiday catalog products and can't wait to experiment some more.
