Welcome to the Stamper’s Dozen Blog Hop-this month we are sharing Shaker Cards! They are so fun to make and certainly fun to receive!!
I have two Shaker Cards to share – my first is a simple way to make a shaker card –

For this Shaker Card, I used products from the Festive Birthday Suite found on pages 10 and 11 of the Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog.
I created a simple panel using white cardstock as my base, I slipped this panel into a clear envelope. Before sealing the envelope, I added a pinch of sequins from the Brights Sequin Assortment.
To finish the card, I stamped the llama, complete with his festive blanket and a small flower. No fussy cutting needed here- I used the Fiesta Time framelits to cut out these shapes! To finish the card, I created two banners with the Festive Birthday Designer Series Paper and Fiesta Time framelits.
I think this llama is so cute! We have a “thing” for llamas in my family, and this card will be gong to my daughter Anna this week for her birthday!

Cuts for this card: Base – Tempting Turquoise 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″, Melon Mambo 4″ x 5 1/4″, Whisper White 3 3/4″ x 5″
My second shaker card is full of sneak peeks from the upcoming Holiday Catalog! These products will be available September 1 when the Holiday Catalog goes live!

The minute I saw the Detailed Santa thinlet dies in the Holiday Catalog,
I thought – shaker card!
Shakers cards have a wow factor to them, but they are actually pretty easy to create!! For my card, I cut the Santa thinlet with Whisper White cardstock (be sure to use the Precision Plate – it is a must have for these types of detailed dies!) and adhered a piece of Window Sheet of the same size to the back of this piece – ( 4 inch square).
I also cut 4 inch square with Real Red cardstock- this piece creates a “box” or “frame” that holds the beads, sequins, punched pieces or whatever you choose to use to make the card shake! To create the “box” – I used the new foam adhesive strips – they are like dimensionals but in strips – they are sticky on both sides, and make creating shaker cards super easy!

This photo shows the box I created to hold the beads for my shaker card. When you do this, you want to be sure to make the strips tight so that no beads/sequins can escape! I added a few beads and placed the Santa/Window sheet layer on top of this.


The beads are now secured in the box and this piece can be attached to the card base.
To finish my card, I added a greeting – this is from the Greetings From Santa stamp set that is bundled with the detailed Santa thinlets. I used some baker’s twine to attach three jingle bells to Santa’s beard.
Cuts for this card: base – Real Red 8 1/2″x 5 1/2″, scored at 4 1/4″, Whisper White, Window Sheet and Real Red cardstock – 4 inch square.
