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.

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:

• Easy Wildflower Birthday fun fold with free project sheet & video tutorial

  April 28, 2025

  ---

  I'm excited to share this card with you today.  

  Save

  It's a type of Z-fold but different than I've seen before.  With two quick score lines you have an easy & unique card fold! I love how this card gives you three ways to show off our coordinating DSP.  

  I featured the Wildflower Birthday specialty designer series paper on these pretty cards.  It's filled with floral & birthday prints with splashes of gold foil.  It also comes with 2 sheets of die-cut elements as shown below which allows for super quick creating.  See it here. 

  Save

  I still have a few of my pre-cut kits to go available with this pretty DSP or the PDF tutorial. See it here. 

  Save

  Here's how the cards look fully opened.  For greetings I used the So Sincere which is retiring & Simply Said which is carrying over.

  There's a free project sheet with measurements, photos, supplies list and directions.  Click on the following link to print or download it.  Remember these project sheets can be used as a starting point with whatever products you own! Download Wildflower Birthday April Club

  This stamp set just sold out but the Labeled with Love punch is carrying over into the new catalog.

  And here's the video below. Besides this card I created another similar card with just a few adjustments to the original.

• Last day of FREE shipping! More Team card swaps too

  April 25, 2025

  Today is the last day of the free shipping promotion; don't miss out on the savings!

  Today I'm sharing two incredible fun fold swaps from our Team card swap this month.  The theme was to feature plaid. 

  Save

  Candace created her own plaid using markers on the upper left panel.  Wow!  He also used the Thankful Garden bundle for her flowers and leaves. This bundle includes dies and masks!  See it here.  

  I love the sponging she did on her die-cut leaves.  Her colors include Lost Lagoon, Soft Sea Foam and Highland Heather.  The inside die is from the Arches dies – currently unavailable unfortunately.

  Measurements:

  • card base 10 3/4" X 5 1/2" sc0re at 1 5/8", 3 1/4", 7 1/2" & 9"
  • left panel 2 1/2" X 3 1/2"; right panel 2 7/8" X 3 7/8"
  • purple side panels 1 1/4" X 5 1/2"
  • left 'plaid' panel is 2 3/8" X 3 3/8"; right panel is 2 3/4" X 3 3/4"

  Next is an adorable fun fold made by Lori.

  Note how the front panel with the checkered banner is outside the left side of the card. 

  She used the Timeless Plaid & Otterly Adorable DSP here as well as the Arches dies.  Inside you'll find the Soft Waves embossing folder with a bit of sponging to catch the texture.  
  

  Save

  And it opens yet one more time!  I love how she added details to every layer on each side.   Her greetings are from the Everyday Arches bundle and Arched Wishes set.
