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:

  • Trucking Along window fun fold card with video & free project sheet!


    Today I'm sharing one of my October card club projects; it features the Trucking Along punch bundle.  See it here; it's now back in stock!! 

    I used an easy technique on the window and tire rims. See how they're a soft white?  Using our White Craft ink pad, I grabbed a bit of White ink with a blender pen and colored these areas. You can add more color if you'd like it whiter, but I like the almost opaque look.  

    Note one card has presents and the other a tree in the truck bed.  These are stamped on a separate piece of White paper and fussy cut before adding to the truck. 

     

    I created two options for my Club members; a birthday or a Christmas card. This Truck bundle has a wide variety of stamps & greetings.  I did use the Happy Birthday image from the Enjoy the Rhythm set and the inside Christmas greeting from the Brightest Glow stamp set.

  • Winter Wishes & Abundant Beauty masks fun fold card; free tutorial & video!


    Today's project was inspired by my Team member Candace who made this cool fun fold card for a recent swap. 

    Isn't it neat! She featured the Beary Cute bundle on her card in Lost Lagoon, Smoky Slate & Pretty Peacock. 

    My favorite part of her card is that it's quite easy to make! I knew my followers would like to know how to make it so I shared it on a recent video (seen below).  

    I used similar colors but chose the Magical Meadow stamp set & the Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks seen here. 

    I used a blending brush, Lost Lagoon ink and the snowflake mask to create my card front.  After adding the pretty snowflakes I textured it with the Snowflake Sky 3D embossing folder. 

    It's a mini slim line card; the finished size is 3" X 5 1/2".  I just love the fun of the popped up panels inside!

    I created a free project sheet with measurements, directions, supplies used and photos. Click on this link to download or print it. Download Snowflakes fun fold card; abundant beauty masks

    There's something special about a monochromatic card! I used Lost Lagoon & Pretty Peacock inks, and Lost Lagoon and Basic White card stock.  

    Below is the video for this card and another as well. Don't forget to subscribe to my YouTube channel here! Enjoy!

  • Get 2 cards at a time with this special card layout & a 6 X 6″ piece of designer paper!


    I shared this card on last week's Live video.  It features the So Very Merry stamp set and the Snowflake Magic designer paper.

    I made a bunch of these cards for our Flowerbug's October Christmas card swap.  You might wonder how I achieved the starburst effect with the Snowflake Magic designer paper.  Keep reading plus watch the video seen here or below!

    Other products used:

    Vellum card stock, Gold Foil paper, Deckled circle dies, Stylish Shapes dies, Blends markers for coloring & Gold heat embossing.

    Here's what the inside looks like. Make note of the little designer paper triangles inside; remember this when you see the cutting templates below.  

     

    My friend Lyssa Zwolenek inspired these cards and created the template too.  She is super creative and so great about sharing ideas!

    Below are a few cutting templates for you.  

     

     

    Watch the video here or below to see how this is done. 

    Directions:

    • You'll start out with a 6" square of designer paper. 
    • First cut is at 2". You're left with a 4" X 6" piece on the right. 
    • Cut the 2" strip into a 2" X 4" piece, leaving you with a 2" square. 
    • Next cut the 4" X 6" piece on the right into three 2" X 4" pieces. 

     

     

     

    See this gorgeous Snowflake Magic specialty paper here.  

     

    • Now you'll cut each 2" X 4" strip into two pieces by cutting it in half on the diagonal.  
    • Be sure you cut each one in the same direction.
    • Cut the 2" square in half on the diagonal and then cut each triangle in half.  These pieces are used on the inside of the card.   

    You'll use 4 of the large pieces and two small triangles on each card.
