Three Cheers for Shaker Cards!


Shaker Cards don't need to be complicated!  I made two versions during my weekly

Tuesday Night Stampin' Club Facebook LIVE video.  You can watch them in action HERE!


The "cheater" version used a card from the You Are Amazing Project Kit which is featured in the upcoming January-June 2021 Mini Catalog.  I love the colors in this kit and they coordinate so well with the Sequins for Everything that I used to make the shaker card.  The original card and the stepped-up shaker card are below.


The You Are Amazing Project Kit is available for purchase starting January 5, 2021.  Stampin' Up! Demonstrators were able to pre-order it during December and I'm so glad I did!  The kit comes with pre-cut cardstock and supplies to make 16 cards.  You'll also need the coordinating You Are Amazing stamp set, some ink pads, and adhesive to complete the cards as designed in the kit. 

To make my shaker card I added a clear envelope, Sequins for Everything, and Granny Apple Green cardstock.  I cut the card base in half and used the striped side. Put the card front into the clear envelope and add some sequins.  Seal the clear envelope tightly, fold over the excess envelope towards the back and adhere with tape.  Adhere the card front to a colored cardstock base.  Then complete the card as directed and voilĂ ...you have a Simple shaker card!



The Cocktails card is a "traditional" framed shaker card using foam adhesive strips and window sheets.  I was inspired by the project featured next to the Sequins for Everything in the mini catalog.  I just couldn't bring myself to make a valentine card before Christmas, so I opted for a much-needed cocktail...card.




I hope you've been inspired to make some shaker cards!  No need to be intimidated by them...they can be created pretty SIMPLY!  Make a frame from cardstock using rectangle framelits.  Adhere a layer of window sheet to the back of the frame.  Adhere the foam adhesive strips to the back of the frame.  Adhere a stamped layer to the card base...it's best to have that layer cut a bit smaller than the size of the frame.  Sprinkle some sequins onto the card.  Carefully position the frame over the stamped layer.

Nothing's Better Than...

...Cookies, Chocolate, Coffee and Cocktails!  Some of my favorite things!  Here's my take on some of the samples using the Nothing's Better Than bundle from Stampin' Up!  Sometimes you don't have the exact supplies called for in the "recipe" so you need to make due with what you have!  Scroll all the way down to see the items I used when I copied and selectively edited the SU! samples.

My CASE

















I quickly stamped a bunch of chocolates in different inks and strengths to see a variety.
I used the full strength of the ink for the outline image.
For the inside, from Left to Right, top to bottom:
Soft Suede stamped off once, Cinnamon Cider stamped off once
Soft Suede stamped off twice, Cinnamon Cider stamped off twice
Crumb Cake stamped off once, Cinnamon Cider full strength (with Soft Suede outline)
