Welcome! I was a bit intimidated to try a shaker card, as I haven't attempted one before. However, I felt that I could manage to make a "mover" card. I decided to try a slider card (although, I haven't attempted one before. It seemed "easier" than a shaker card.) I'll save shaker cards for another day.

Here's my card




I started by stamping the snowman, using The Alley Way's Mistletoe Kisses with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I added color with Copic markers and fussy cut the image. For the background, I stamped using Sunny Studio's Snow Flurries and Hero Arts Soft Pool ink onto a light blue cardstock. For the snow slope, I used the same stamp set, Versamark ink and clear embossing powder on white cardstock. I used Catherine Pooler Design's Winterhaven dies to die cut the slope. For the slope-shaped slot, I used Papertrey Ink's Movers & Shakers: Spinners Die Collection (set of 3). Because I wanted to "hide" the slot, I needed to do a bit of pre-planning. I attached about a 1.5" x 0.5" piece of white cardstock to the snowman and at the end, I attached a penny, with some dimensional adhesive to separate the penny from the cardstock strip. This "space" is necessary to help the snowman move. Warning - if you're going to make a similar card, you're going to need a lot of dimensional tape. I placed the penny through the slot on the blue cardstock and then used dimensional tape to adhere the blue cardstock to the cardbase as well as making a channel around the slot through which the penny would move. Also, I used dimensional tape to adhere the slope, covering the slope-shaped slot. It's not perfect, as the snowman doesn't move smoothly but I think it's pretty cute.
