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.  

Save

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.

Save

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:

• Wow Team swaps for a fun Coaster Calendar!

  November 21, 2024

  ---

  This month my Flowerbug's Team decided to do a Coaster Calendar swap.  This was super fun and quite easy when you could make multiples of the month you chose.  I do love swapping! 

  We could use retired or current products on these swaps which opened up a lot of possibilities for creativity! 

  The first group are January through June:

  Save

  This next group is July through December:

  Save

  They're all 4" square and the layer for the printed calendars (which haven't been added yet here) are 2 1/4" square. We punch holes in the top of each and add two 4" card board coasters to the front and the back for stability. *these were purchased online years ago. The printed calendar was created by my husband and I cut it up into 2" squares. 

  Here's how I decorated the front of mine:  I kept it quite simple; a 4" square piece of Winter Meadow DSP along with a die-cut and the year cut out with number dies.  I trimmed the corners to match the coaster. 

  Save

  Here's the next group of swaps; some are the same as those above since a few people did multiple groups of the same month. 

  These are January through June:

  And these are July through December:

  Each one is fabulous!  I love seeing everyone's personal style.

• More swaps from my talented Demo friends

  November 20, 2024

  ---

  I have a few more swaps to share with you today.  These are all from our newest Online Exclusive products. 

  First up is a pretty floral card from Susan Campfield. She used the Happy Hibiscus bundle. 

  Save

  This bundle includes a Hybrid embossing folder that includes dies that coordinate with the folder!  It's so cool. You can see it here in my store. 

  In the photo below you can see the die-cut images that are textured. This is done when the die is inserted into the embossing folder with the card stock.  Yes; it is incredible! 

  Save

  The next few cards feature the Marbled Elegance suite: 

  This first pretty card is made by Natalie Travis who made the focus of her card that gorgeous golden stitched heart. 

  Save

  That pretty heart is die-cut with the Hearts of Elegance dies from our new Brushed Metallic paper in both Gold & Silver. See that here. 

  Her measurements are simple – the DSP is 4" X 3", a strip of Cherry Cobbler is 4 1/4" X 5/8" on a Pretty in Pink card base. 

  Next is a gorgeous card made by Sandy Carlson:

  Save

  Her colors are Melon Mambo with White and the same beautiful Marbled Elegance specialty DSP. She also used the new Hearts of Elegance bundle seen here. 

  Save

  Thanks for stopping in.  I hope you're been enjoying the swaps I've shared.

• Check out these swap cards from the Otterly Amazing Suite!

  November 19, 2024

  Two punched circles and a 3 1/2" square of DSP show off the elements in this Otter suite. The colors include Balmy blue, Calypso Coral, Old Olive and Early Espresso.  

  ~~~

  This second swap with the Otterly Amazing suite is made by Tracy Jacobs. 

  Save

  She created a fun fold by cutting up to the 5 1/2" score line at 1". That layer is adhered to the back of the card base so only the left card front opens. Simple but 'amazing' too!  It really shows off the playful scenes in the Otterly Adorable DSP.  See the DSP here. 

  Below is the bundle with the stamps & dies: 

  Save

  See this Otterly Amazing bundle here.  Many of the images in the DSP can be cut out with the Otterly Amazing dies.

  You can see the entire suite here.

  I love the little fish at the bottom!  Her colors include Crumb Cake, Early Espresso & White. 

  I'll share more swaps tomorrow!
