Christmas Shaker Card & Faux Shaker Card

 Hello everyone!

I'm back today with more Christmas card inspiration!

I don't know about you, but I love shaker cards, and I love using shaker pockets to make them because it's so much easier and not messy at all.  In my YouTube video (link below) I show how easy it is to use shaker pockets from This Calls For Confetti, along with their awesome shaker bits/sequins.  And I also show what I call a Faux Shaker card made with scrapbook paper from InLoveArts that looks like shaker bits from This Calls For Confetti had been spilled all over it!

Click HERE to watch my YouTube video for all of the details!  And links to the products I used will be in the video description box 😊

Here are some pictures of the cards I made....

Shaker Card

Faux Shaker Card

Both cards use the scrapbook paper from InLoveArts.  The first card uses the green that looks like shaker bits.  You can see that in the first two pictures, and then the third picture actually shows the shaker bits too.  The next card (red) is the Faux Shaker, and you can see what I mean about it looking like a shaker, but it's actually the paper I used.

I hope you stop by my channel (click HERE) to watch the easy process of making these cards, and get some cardmaking inspiration.  Christmas is sneaking up on us quickly and it's time to start making cards if you haven't already.

Thanks for stopping by and.....

Happy Crafting!!!

Christmas Card Inspiration & Life Update

 Hi everyone!  It's been a while!

Just a quick note before I get to the Christmas cards.

I haven't felt up to doing blog posts for quite a while because I had a torn rotator cuff in my right shoulder.  I had 3 months of physical therapy, and then finally surgery, and I'm still recuperating from that and continuing physical therapy.

I really wanted to share the Christmas cards I've been making, and the video tutorials for them.  So here we go!
