The easy way to make a shaker card!

October 7, 2023

You may think a shaker card needs foam adhesive strips or a die-cut window. Not true!

You can make them easily from clear envelopes! *did you know we have clear envelopes in our Annual catalog? See them on page 135 or here online. You get 50 envelopes for just $7.

Save

Just add your paper inside the clear envelope (making sure it fits tightly so the shaker pieces don't move behind), pour in some shaker elements like loose sequins or beads, and seal it up. It's a super fun card to receive; it's a bit addictive to shake!

The designer paper is the Walk in the Woods and the stamps are from the More Wishes stamp set; both found in the Holiday catalog. I stamped the greetings on a die-cut from the Nested Essentials dies.

These cards are included in one of my Christmas card kits to go. I have three different kit options to choose from; you can see them all here.

The kits include everything you need except stamps, ink and adhesives. You can add on the stamp set at a 10% savings with the purchased kit. These Christmas card kits are limited; opt in while they're available.

Inlaid technique video with Mountain View!

February 28, 2020
This gorgeous card was one of our January Card Club projects. Of course I love the colors of Coastal Cabana, Granny Apple Green and Pretty Peacock.

I cased the idea from Cheryl Miller at Sense of Whimsy.

Save

Here's how to make this pretty card.
1. First die-cut two trees from the main White panel one on the upper left and one on the lower right.
2. I sponged one of these die-cut white trees with Coastal Cabana and Granny Apple ink for the center tree.
3. Then die-cut two more trees from the Lily Impressions designer paper (free with a $50 order during Sale-a-Bration).
4. Adhere the White panel to the Coastal Cabana panel and then to the main Green card base.
5. Insert the two die-cut trees into the left and right die-cut areas for an inlaid effect. (I recommend Fine Tip glue or Multipurpose adhesive)
6. There's a trick to getting this unique greeting shape with the Tailored Tag punch. I share it on the video below.
7. I used the Sending you Thoughts stamp set and heat embossed the greeting.
Watch the video below for many more tips on creating this fabulous card.

Over the Moon Fun-Fold card

February 27, 2020
My friend Marilyn made this card for a swap with her Card Club this month. Many of my Club gals swap cards every other month. They are loving this and actually 'using' their products!

It's made with the 'Over the Moon' stamp set seen here.

Save

Isn't it cute? It's a fun fold card where the front panel swings open on the bottom.

The black spots look like patterned paper but they're stamped using the 'Love What You Do' stamp set seen here. Aren't they perfect?!!!

Positive Thoughts with Nature’s Thoughts dies; stamp once but get two layers!

February 26, 2020

These pretty cards were made on one of my recent Facebook Live videos. See it here:

The Positive Thoughts stamp set is easily a big favorite from the January – June Mini catalog. And now we have dies that coordinate with it called Nature's Thoughts; see them here.

Save

I stamped both white layers at the same time; I believe this technique is called double (or triple) time stamping. After stamping I sponged the edges and used the stitched rectangle die from the Nature's Thoughts set to cut out the top layer. Next add it to the next layer before adding to your card. Easy!

Save

The colors here are Bermuda Bay and Gorgeous Grape. See the detail on the dies here? Gorgeous!

Save

These colors are Blueberry Bushel with Bermuda Bay. I also sponged the die-cut feathers and sponged those too. That little butterfly is also from the Nature's Thoughts dies.

These dies are part of the Coordination Product Release available now; while supplies last. Here's a link to the Positive Thoughts stamp set.
