Holiday Shaker card with video tutorial & free project sheet!


I shared these super fun shaker cards on last week's video. They were one of our November card club projects. 

The colors include Pool Party, White & Real Red.  The penguin and tree were fussy cut but some of the dies in the Snowy Wonder bundle cut out the printed elements from the Snowy Scenes designer paper. The greeting die are from the Countryside Corners dies. 

Below you can see how you assemble the shaker card. We used the Pool Party window layer to position the snowman die-cut on the Red card base. Then we stamped the Pool Party layer with snowflakes. Next lay your shaker elements on that as shown below.

Add the window sheet to the back of your window, then add our Adhesive Strips close to the opening; do not leave any gaps! Add a few supporting adhesive strips as well.  Then remove the paper backing from the strips and turn it over and add over the snowman layer matching the window with the snowman die-cut. Press down well to get a good seal.  Shake!

My shaker bits include retired loose sequins and the White Loose Snowflakes available here.  We added a few to the front of the card as well.

The stamped elements are all from the Snowy Wonder stamp set. The snow globe dies are wonderful and match the two different designer paper snow globes wonderfully!  

Click on the video below to see how it's made.  I also share a second type of shaker card that's even easier!  I hope you watch and follow me on both YouTube and my Facebook page.

  • Easel Calendar with a post-it note box; a fabulous gift idea


    I love these Easel calendars; they're a great gift and actually fun to make too.  I was inspired by my friend Melissa's project; see it here.  

    Easel Calendar card measurements

    • Card base 4 ¼” X 11” scored at 5 ½”.
    • Easel 4” X 4” scored at ½”, 2” & 3 ½”
    • DSP 4” X 5 ¼” (or 3 1/2" X 5 1/4" on the above project)
    • Note box 4” X 5 1/8” scored at 3/8” on the short side.  On the long side score at 2 3/8” & 2 ¾”

    Here are some details:

    • The unique scallop edges & cute tag are both made with the Brilliant Rainbow dies – it's part of the Rainbow of Happiness bundle. 
    • The large clouds are punched with our new Cloud Punch. One is punched from the Supple Shimmer specialty paper and the other from the Sunshine & Rainbows DSP/ It's free during our Sale-a-Bration promotion. See it here. 
    • The bright striped paper is also from our Sunshine & Rainbows DSP
    • The card stock colors are Bermuda Bay & Melon Mambo
    • The calendars were purchased from Taylored Expressions. 

    Here are the other two I shared using the Friendly Hello bundle from our Sale-a-Bration promotion:

      

    Totally different looks from the same Friendly Hello designer paper.  You can go soft or bold with it! 

    On the top right I added the stamped image from the Friendly Hello stamp set (part of the free bundle during SAB) and on the top left I added a few die-cuts from the Tropical Layers dies seen here.  I think they coordinate wonderfully.  

    *I'll be giving away two easel calendar kits with online orders in February. Details tomorrow! 

    This Easel Calendar is the second project I make in the video below. Click on it to watch!

  • Easel Calendar with a post it box; made by Melissa


    I LOVE sharing what my friends make.  Shout out to Melissa who made this adorable, bright & happy Easel Calendar for her club friends this month.  

    She searched for a tutorial and actually found one I did last year!  She added a box for a pack of post-it notes too!  

    She used the Pattern Party host paper seen here or on page 171 of our Annual catalog.  I always encourage my hostesses to choose this paper; it's the BEST deal! It's valued at $30 but hostesses can choose it for just $18 as part of their hostess benefits. Tip: Everyone earns free benefits on orders over $150; even Demonstrators! 

    This is the type of information I want you to know before placing an order.  I want to maximize your value and get you the best deal on our products that I can! *please contact me before ordering so I can help you!

    It's a huge pack of 48 12 X 12" sheets with fun, colorful patterns on one side & Black & White on the other.  It's my favorite DSP in the whole book!  

    Measurements are below.  Or watch the video here.  

    Easel Calendar card measurements

    • Note box 4” X 5 1/8” scored at 3/8” on the short side.  On the long side score at 2 3/8” & 2 ¾”. *Wrap it with DSP if desired.

  • Rainbow of Happiness shaker card with video tutorial


    Did you know you get a free $50 shopping spree when you place online orders with me?  It's true!  

    I love to give these sprees to my online or local shoppers.  If you never knew about this and have shopped with me in the past you can redeem your spree too!  

    Click here to download the form. 

    I played with the Rainbow of Happiness bundle on Facebook Live earlier this week.  Here's a neat shaker card I made: 

    Shaker cards look difficult but they're fun AND easy!  Watch the video below to see how it's done.

    The Rainbow of Happiness bundle is 10% off in our Spring catalog.  See it here.  I just noticed it's on low inventory. That means when they run our it will not be available again until the product is restocked. That Global Shipping issue you know!!

    It's hard to see in the photo above but the paper inside the shaker is our Rainbow Glimmer specialty paper from the annual catalog.  I share a neat trick to get these rainbow die-cuts in place in the video below or click here. 

    Here's a close up of another: 

    Here are some details:

    • The large rainbow is made with the Brilliant Rainbow dies – it's part of the Rainbow of Happiness bundle. 
    • The small clouds are die-cut from our Supple Shimmer paper & the Rainbow dies
    • The sequins & beads in the shaker are from the Sparkle & Shine sequins
    • I used our Foam Adhesive strips on the back side of the White die-cut piece to raise it and keep the shaker pieces in place.
    • The large clouds are punched with our new Cloud Punch. One is punched from the Sunshine & Rainbows free DSP during our Sale-a-Bration promotion. See it here. 

    The card above on the left has a cloud bank made with our Border Basic dies and our new Supple Shimmer paper.  Stampin' Up! is terrific at coordinating their products so incredibly.  

    The shaker card is the first project I make in the video below. Click on it to watch!
