Before we get to the shaker cards from last night’s Facebook Live…a reminder that Stampin’ Up! is offering FREE shipping today on orders of $50 or more! That makes today the perfect day to get any of those Last Chance items from the Jan-June Mini you have been meaning to get. Only a few items have sold out, and there are many 50% off items!
Click here to see the Last Chance List.
Also a note about items used today – stamps and dies from the Hey Chick bundle are retiring June 30. The stamps and dies from the Hey Birthday Chick bundle have carried over to the new Annual Catalog, but the bundle pricing is only good through June 30. These items were part of a special promotion, and you won’t find them on the Last Chance List.
Last night’s Facebook Live was inspired by this adorable card I received in our Team Swap from my upline, Mindy Gray. Don’t you just love everything about it – the cute turtle, the clear shaker, the bright colors and shaker shapes?
Mindy used a clear envelope to enclose the shaker shapes over the designer paper, and added a frame around it. This is similar to a method we have used before to make shaker cards with clear envelopes, but the difference here is the added frame over the top of the shaker – love this!!
The projects in this post are from last night’s Facebook Live. I am adding pictures and dimensions here for easy reference, but you may need to see the video for complete instructions. Please click here to see the video – and please join the Buckeye Inklings Stampers Group on Facebook to get notifications of all of my live videos.
Thank you for any help you can give me in Likes, Shares, and orders in the online store. It is my goal to continue to bring you project ideas for free, and your support helps.
I made my version slightly different than Mindy’s in order to give you an additional idea. I used a larger section of clear envelope for my shaker card, and I also added a stamped image inside the envelope (stamped on Basic White 3″ x 4 1/4″).
The frames on all of these samples are made with different sizes of the Scalloped Contours and Stitched Rectangles dies.
I think these are really fun! The stamps are from “Watercolor Shapes” and “Biggest Wish”.
I also remade a version of Mindy’s card with a more traditional shaker frame, using a Window Sheet (2″ x 3 1/4″) and adhered to the card with foam adhesive strips. This method allows more movement in the shaker, but creates a thicker card. I thought this might be better suited for the addition of the larger shaker pieces – do you see the ears of corn I added?!
Thanks so much for checking out my projects today. If you need any of these fabulous products, I would so appreciate your order in my online store! You can also click on an item in the carousel below to be directed to a particular product.
Place a $35 order with Host Code D46QY7K3 in June, and I will send you a package of Genial Gems and a handmade card. This is my way of sharing the Stampin’ Rewards with you – I appreciate your business!!
