Best Tips for successful Shaker Cards with video tutorial!

July 21, 2025

Who wouldn't like to receive a shaker card?! They're fun, shakable and hard to resist playing with.

I made a bunch of these for our July Team card swap featuring 'window sheets'. I love the fact that I could get multiple, colorful die-cut flowers with the Extraordinary Floral Washi Tape and the coordinating die-cut. Just add it to another piece of cardstock and die-cut. So fast & EASY!

Notice the sponged green designer paper above. That is the Irresistible Designs 12" DSP seen here. I added Olive ink to it with a Blending Brush; the printed embossed designs 'resist' the ink. Pretty cool!

I used the Paper Tags stamp set – stamping the greeting directly onto the window sheet with Black Stazon ink. Then I turned it over to add a bit of Flirty Flamingo blends marker on the 'celebrate' part.

August 20, 2020

Here are three more beautiful cards my Flowerbug's Team made for our August card swap:

Jacki made this super colorful card using the Plaid Tidings and 6" designer series papers. She cut 1" strips and arranged them using the diagonal technique I shared here:

Her greeting is from the Beautiful Autumn stamp set seen here and the tag is from the Celebration Label dies here.

Save

Deloris created this pretty card with the Arrange a Wreath Bundle seen here. It's full of die-cuts and stamps for multiple reasons & seasons! Her colors are Early Espresso, Crumb Cake, Cajun Craze & Mint Macaron. I really love that greeting sign! It's actually an image in the set!

Save

Karen created this one with the Love of Leaves bundle seen here.

Save

Her colors are Early Espresso, Vanilla, Soft Suede, Cinnamon Cider, Crushed Curry and Gold foil. The designer paper strip is from the Gilded Autumn DSP. I absolutely love the stitching on these dies and that die-cut that creates the stitched lines for texture is the bomb!

I'm loving the new Banners Pick a Punch! It has grooves for 1/2", 3/4" and 1" banners. And two different style ends! Sure makes adding banners a breeze!

Gorgeous Fall Swaps from the Flowerbug’s!

August 18, 2020
Today I'm sharing a few of the amazing cards my Flowerbug's Team swapped this weekend. The theme was Fall cards.

Annette made this first one using the Rooted in Nature bundle.

Save

You may not see it well but she used the leaf dies in this set to create a textured White background. Her colors are Cinnamon Cider & Rich Razzleberry. A unique, Asian inspired card!

Save

Paula made this one using the Autumn Goodness bundle. It's a fun fold too where the front, middle is the card opening! That piece is 3 3/4" X 8 1/2" folded in half.

The pretty designer paper is the Gilded Autumn specialty paper. This bundle includes dies that cut out the flowers and the wheelbarrow.

Save

Candace made this one with two stamp sets; the Life is Beautiful for the leaves and greeting and the Way to Goat set for the goat who's kicking up the leaves! Super fun and colorful!
