Easiest Shake Card Ever; plus the quickest Christmas cards you can make!!
Have you wanted to make a shaker card but didn't want to deal with the Foam Adhesive and window sheets? Well I have a solution for you! Use a clear envelope! Yes; it works beautifully!
I used one of the Wonder of the Season cards, cutting it down to 4" X 5 1/4" and adding another layered strip. I then inserted it into one of our clear envelopes (seen here) and folded the excess to the back, securing it with Tear & Tape. Then I added some Sequins for Everything and sealed it up. It's adhered to a Real Red card base and the greeting is adhered to the front.
The stamps are from the Tag Buffet stamp set.
You can watch how I did this in the video below; it's one of the first projects.
In the video I also shared the Wonder of the Season Memories & More projects. These cards are beautiful and filled with gold & red foil accents. I love these because they are super quick & easy! All I added were some Red rhinestones! No stamping or extra card stock!
You can use the 3 X 4" cards for the pretty card bases so the foil accents show. Or flip the front to the inside and use the larger 4" X 6" cards on the front. This way you can still see that pretty foil on the inside!

It features these products from our Annual Stampin' Up! catalog:
Kindest Expressions stamp set
Paper Florist dies
Countryside Corners dies
Blending Brushes
Artistic Mix Decorative Masks
Embossing paste Matte finish
Adhesive-Backed sequins trio
Whew! And I didn't even list the ink and paper! My colors include Berry Burst, Bubble Bath, Lemon Lime Twist and Basic White.
I used Berry Burst ink and a Blending Brush to create an ombre background on my Bubble Bath card stock. I let that dry overnight.
I then used a mask over this to spread White Embossing Paste with a Palette knife. Even though my ink was dry it picked up the color and created an ombre look on the paste too. I let that dry for a few hours.
Add the greeting and the Paper Florist dies seen here. I can tell that I'll be using these dies a lot. They're wonderful and make a huge variety of flowers.
Check out this ‘Tackle box’ with the Gone Fishing bundle! Amazing!!
Today I'm sharing the last projects Candace made with the Gone Fishing and Let's Go Fishing designer paper. She was our Artist of the Month for June and created some incredible projects!
I was blown away by this 'tackle box' full of candy. She told me she made it up herself! AMAZING!!
She added gummy fish & worms, kisses, candy 'rocks' and nuggets inside. I believe she first scored her box front then used the Gone Fishing large die to cut the windows for the front panel. Scoring first would help you center the die. Then she added the window sheet to the underside. The window sheet holds the die-cut frame and the box front in place.
It's hard to tell but the colored and stamped panel is placed in one of our clear envelopes so she could add the new Iridescent shaker circles seen here. She added Boho Blue ink to the neutral card front using a Blending Brush, then stamped the greeting and leaves. She also fussy cut the fish from the Let's Go Fishing designer series paper and added them with Dimensionals. Then came the torn card stock layer and the bobbin and linen thread.
Now she placed the entire piece inside a clear envelope, folded over the excess and secured it with adhesive. Now she added the shaker circles from the top open edge before closing it off to seal. Add it to your card base layers and you're done!
You can see these clear envelopes here. I use them for card swaps, storing & protecting my finished cards and of course for easy shaker cards. They're $7 for 50 envelopes!
This is such a fun card to make AND receive! It's hard to stop shaking it!
