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:

  • Forever Fern video; an easy trio of gorgeous cards


    I can't stop playing with the Forever Fern stamp set!  It's so easy to make beautiful cards with and with some of my favorite 'go to' color combos.

    If you like this set of cards check out another stunning set here; it has a kit to go option while supplies last! And a project tutorial available here. 

    I made these cards and recorded it on video so you could see how fast they can be.  There are three different card layouts all using the same three colors.  Granny Apple Green, Gorgeous Grape and Bermuda Bay inks with these same card stock colors plus Coastal Cabana and Whisper White.  

    The White greeting die is from the Tasteful Labels dies.  I hand cut the larger one. 

    Measurements for this card:

    • Granny Apple Green 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" card base
    • Gorgeous  Grape  3 3/4" X 5"
    • Whisper White 3 pieces at 3 1/2" X 1 1/2"

    I used a masking & sponging technique here and added a die-cut from the Flourishing Fern dies too.

    Measurements:

    • Coastal Cabana card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
    • White 3 1/2" X 4 3/4"
    • Gorgeous Grape 3 5/8" X 4 7/8"

    A simple card base of Gorgeous Grape 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" and White at 5 1/4" X 4".  Did you catch that I sponged the corner of the left one?  Which do you prefer?

  • Flowers for Every Season


    The Flowers for Every Season paper pack is the only 6 X 6" papers in the new Stampin' Up! Annual catalog.  Many people love the 6 X 6" papers; they find them easier to cut into for some reason.  

    I decided to use them for last week Monday night's Stamp with Me video.  Here's a link to it on Facebook. 

    This is one of my favorite I made so far with this paper; I love the new Misty Moonlight in color.  Paired with Night of Navy and White is quite striking in my opinion.  Monochrome cards can be so soothing! 

    I also used the Small Bloom punch, 2020-22 In Color Enamel Dots and the Pick a Punch. 

    Measurements:

    • Card Base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
      DSP 3 1/2" square and 1" X 3 1/2"
      CS layer 5" X 3 3/4"
      CS strip; textured 3/4" X 4 1/4"
      Greeting banner/punch

    Join me here on Monday evenings at 7:30 pm CT for Stamp with Me FB Lives and you'll get a ton of ideas and maybe even make a nice group of cards right along with me.

  • Blossoms in Bloom cards; it’s pretty even without the die-cuts!


    Today I'm sharing cards made with the Blossoms in Bloom stamp set.  It comes with a gorgeous set of dies too but today it's all about the stamps. 

    First is a pretty card made by my friend Ruth Bingle.  I always love her swap cards! 

    She used the triple time stamping technique.  This is where you cut out three layers of descending sizes of card stock and stamp on them all at the same time.  

    Her White layers are from smallest to larges: 2" X 3 1/4", 3" X 4 1/4" and 4" X 5 1/4".  The Bumblebee layers are 2 1/4" X 3 1/2", 3 1/4" X 4 1/2" and the card base of 5 1/2" X 8 1/2".  This is a fun technique to do with many style of stamps to create your own background.  

    Next is a sweet & simple card I made combining Bumblebee with Gorgeous Grape. 

    This stamp set is one of those where you stamp once and get multiple hues of color; all with one inking!  Love this so much! 

    And last is a card where I stamped directly onto the designer paper. 

    This is the In Good Taste designer paper seen here; it's full of amazing photo realistic textures like wood, tile and textiles.  My colors are Early Espresso, Flirty Flamingo with a touch of Bumblebee. The dies are from the Tasteful Labels dies seen here; my top pick for the most used/versatile dies so far!
