Let’s celebrate the start of the weekend with some easy but bright shaker cards.
At my Shake, Rattle & Roll class this week, we made four types of movements cards. One of the card types we made were shaker cards.
Today, I want to share a couple of shaker samples I made for the class.
Warning: You made need your sunglasses! These are some bright cards!
This card uses the Best Wishes & More stamp set, $31.95, item #111602, page 55 for the stamped flower image and uses the Pink Flamingo designer series paper to add lots of colour. The cardstock is Summer Sun, Real Red, Cameo Coral and Tempting Turquoise. I toned it down a bit with white ribbon and brads.
This next card is a super, super simple shaker. The stamped bird is from Cheep Talk, $31.95, Item #113204, page 90 and the colours I used are Only Orange, Brilliant Blue and Green Gable.
For both cards, I used beads as the “shaker”.

At Kerry B’s workshop last week, we made 3 cards and had alot of fun. This Totally Tool card was one of the cards we made.
After stamping the image in Basic Brown and colouring with the markers, I layered the hammer onto Mellow Moss and Chocolate Chip and added some Vintage Brads. The base of the card is Always Artichoke and I used the To the Nines designer series paper with its rich chocolate and artichoke for the background. The final embellishment was double stitched chocolate ribbon wrapped around the card front.
A great manly card!
After the workshop, I had leftover pre-cut cardstock and decided to make another card using the same basic pieces.
For my second card, I used the stamp set Branch Out. Stamping onto Whisper White, I layered onto Mellow Moss and added a Jumbo Chocolate Chip brad to highlight the stamped image.
Sorry for the blurry image. I had given this card to my Dad on Fathers Day and quickly grabbed a photo after he opened it.
The To the Nines designer series paper will be in the new catalogue but the price is higher. Don’t forget to place your stock up and save orders.
Place an order in June of $50 or more and I will pay the 10% shipping to help you stock up and save.
At the last Dreaming About Rubber Stamps team meeting, Laura R demo’d a fun and simple pop-up card.
Here is my version. I couldn’t believe how quick this card was to make and yet it has a great surprise inside.
The stamp set I used is Animal Stories and the co-ordinating designer series paper, Tall Tales. The colours in this paper are Chocolate Chip, So Saffron, Old Olive, Rose Red and Brilliant Blue.
If you want to make some fun cards using products from the new catalogue and are local to Edmonton, don’t forget to RSVP for my Open House. Come and go on July 14 from 3 pm to 8 pm.
This card uses the Word Window punch to create the pop-up tab. First, mark your punch with a sharpie marker at the half way point.
Fold the 4-1/4″ x 11″ cardstock in half. Push the punch all the way in, lining up the mark on the punch with the score line.
Punch again on the other side as pictured.
Pop-up the piece as shown and attach your image.
It’s that easy!
If you have any questions, leave a comment for me.
This is one of the cards I made for Father’s Day. Can you believe it is the first time I have used Branch Out? I love this tree.
I stamped the image on 3-3/4″ x 2-3/4″ glossy cardstock. The tree is Basic Brown and the leaves Certainly Celery and Old Olive. I added a Real Red bird for some colour. The greeting is from And Many Mower.
And Many Mower will not be in the new catalogue so order it today and add it to your stamp collection.
