Easiest Shaker card you’ll ever make!

Giving an interactive card makes the card extra special like shakers, spinners or fun folds.  But they can be time consuming or a lot of work.  

I used the free 'A Touch of Ink' stamp set from the Sale-a-Bration catalog.  You can see it here.  That background was made with our Blending Brushes and Bermuda Bay & Calypso Coral ink.

This type of shaker card is truly easy; really!  Besides the stamped element you need three basic things:

1.  A clear envelope
2. Strong adhesive
3. Sequins, beads or tiny punched pieces

Insert your stamped card stock into the clear envelope, fold the excess envelope over to the back and seal with adhesive leaving one end open.  Add your fun filler and seal closed.  

The pretty sequins in this card are the Woven Threads sequins in the annual catalog on page 157.

I made a video in December on making one of these shaker cards.  Even though it's a Christmas card it's the same technique. Here it is:

• New Catalog Party Displays!

  January 13, 2026

  ---

  It was a bit chilly when I held my New Catalog Open House this weekend but I still had a great turnout. I teased them to come with the promise of some warm soup and beverage. I truly love seeing my customers and friends come and enjoy spending time with each other here. Friendships are a huge part of stamping!

  Here are some of the displays I created for the event.

  

  Many of the cards on my display boards are swaps I received. I participated in 4 different swaps and received over 100 cards back! I love swapping!!

  

  I place my cards in our clear envelopes so unfortunately there may be some reflection in the photos.

  

  I have two magnetic boards from IKEA in my studio I can add DSP to for easy displays.

  

  Unfortunately the Sweet Bugs stamp set is already out of stock! Darn; that will be a popular one! No worries though, it should be back later this month.

  

  The designer paper hanging at the top is the new Splash of Sparkles specialty DSP. You can see it here.

  

  One of my favorite suites is the Nature Walk seen here.

  

  Above are the Online Exclusives released in November. I had to include these in my display because I had so many great samples and some people had not seen them yet. You can see all of our Online Exclusives here. The only difference between these products is they are not in a printed catalog. They can be ordered at any time.

  

  Lastly are my two January kits to go on display. Lovely & Beautiful and Sweet Bugs – both are fun fold cards.
  You can get the details and reserve your favorite here. Or choose the PDF tutorials.

  I served a Mexican Street Corn White Chicken Chili soup that everyone loved. Here’s a link to it on Pinterest if you’re interested.

• New Catalog card swaps video

  January 12, 2026

  On last week’s Live video I shared lots & lots of my new catalog and Online product card swaps as I walk you through the catalog. I received many amazing cards with great layouts & fancy folds. I hope you watch it. Here’s the link.

  I held my New Catalog Party this weekend and it was a big success! It’s always great to see people I don’t get to see regularly.
  I had so many wonderful displays of new products and my card swaps too. I’ll share those later this week.

  I did receive a few of the new kits in our Kit Collection seen here. One I had to make right away is the Adopt a Pet kit. It’s adorable! Kids would absolutely love making & playing with these.

  

  Isn’t it cute? Here’s the link to it in the store. It’s just $15. Oh, the imaginative play children will have with these critters would be pretty special.

  

  In the video I also shared the many new Stampin’ Up! specials going on.

• 12 Days of Crafting PDF is ready!

  January 8, 2026

  ---

  I don’t know why I put it off because I truly enjoyed playing and creating with my 12 Days of Crafting kit.

  

  It became available a few months back and there are still some left! See it here.

  I couldn’t share the projects until after Christmas because some people did open it as an advent kit and did not want any sneak peeks. But it’s ready now and I can finally share the projects!

  

  This incredible crafting kit is filled with tons of never before seen products like 2 stamp sets, 2 sets of dies, multiple pre-cut pieces, new DSP, embellishments, twine & so much more.
  I used a few inks along with the products in the kit to create 12 pretty cards. The PDF tutorial is free to anyone who purchases the kit from me (and my Team of course).

  The PDF is available on my Tutorial Shop here for $16.

  Bonus days are here!
