Hello everyone! Hope you’re having a lovely weekend!
Today I’m sharing a holiday card created with an untraditional color palette, inspired by the Pinkfresh Studio October 2025 Challenge! The theme is Texture & Shine with a warm, mystical and autumnal color palette.
Instead of going for a Fall themed project, I decided to create a holiday shaker card using the Tied with Cheer dies and stencil set.
To begin, I ink blended three pieces of white cardstock, one in Spanish Moss, one lightly in Candy Violet and the last one partially in Spanish Moss and partially in Candy Violet. From these panels I cut three wreaths with the Tied with Cheer die set . For the bow, I stenciled it in Persimmon, Clementine and Apricot, then die cut it.
To create the front panel with the window, I cut the first wreath from the center of a white A2 panel, dry embossed the outer piece with the Petal Grid Press Plate, inlaid the wreath, and adhered a Heat Resistant Acetate sheet on the back. To add some shine, I heat embossed the small stars from the Flower Market stamp set in gold onto the acetate window.
For the shaker background, I created a soft winter landscape.I lightly ink blended the hills in Clementine after masking the upper area with hand-cut printer paper.
The Trees were stenciled in Bay Leaf, with one touched up using a hint of Apricot. then die cut and foam mounted to the hills. I adhered a few Gold glitter Drops for sparkle and shine. Finally, I placed gold and white sequins as the shaker elements and mounted the front panel with thick foam tape.
Next, I adhered the wreaths and the bow around the window. The sentiment from the Shelf Edit: Magic of the Season stamp set was heat embossed in gold, cut with the coordinating die and added to the wreath.

Such a pretty card with the die cut leafy wreath in the lovely shades of pink TaeEun, and I love the added shaker background with the trees and inked hills and the gold stars added to the acetate over the front, and the added dry embossing looks great on the front. x
