This cute little rolly polly owl from Art Impressions, called “Beanie Whoot”<\/a><\/span> screamed action wobble to me. So I thought I would combine it with a mostly white background shaker and make a whimsical Christmas gift card holder for my niece.<\/p>\n

<\/a>For the shaker, I used my Becky Higgins Project Life fuse tool<\/a><\/span> and a plastic project life pocket. I filled it up with clear seed beads, white, teal and iridescent sequins, and snowflake confetti. For the card front, I used the larger die from the Pretty Pink Posh Scallop Frame Die Set<\/a><\/span> and the Memory Box Birch Trio Die<\/a><\/span>. To keep the attention on the owl and the action components of the card, I cut all these pieces from plain white card stock.<\/p>\n

Then for the centerpiece, I used the following Copic colors for Beanie Whoot:
\nOwl: (brown parts)\u00a0E55, 57 and 59; (white parts) W0 and W1; and (beak and claws) Y15, 17 and 38
\nHat with dotting technique for texture: B00, 01, 02 and 05 with 0 for highlights
\nFor sparkle and shine, I added Icicle Stickles on the hat pom pom, and Glossy Accents for the eyes, beak and claws.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Then to add some fun, I fussy cut out Beanie Whoot and popped him up on a DIY action wobble, which I made with some card stock scraps and a thin wire that I wrapped around a marker to make into a spring.<\/p>\n

Lastly, to make this card a gift card holder (because a 21 year old really wants cash more than things an aunt would buy, right? – LOL), I made a little pocket inside the card. To make the pocket a little more decorative, I punched the top edge using the border punch from the Martha Stewart Aspen Punch Around the Page Punch Set<\/a><\/span>. I stamped out the “Merry Christmas” (I love the fonts) from the Prima “Merry Nice” stamp set<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n
