Making a shaker card using leftover bits from another card (plus a fun hop for Simon Says Stamp!)

January 20, 2023

Making a shaker card using leftover bits from another card (plus a fun hop for Simon Says Stamp!)

Welcome to Day One of a blog hop for Simon Says Stamp to celebrate our Kisses release! Today I’m sharing a full panel shaker card created with the leftover bits from the following card:

I shared this card on my YouTube channel and had a bunch of leftover hearts so I thought: you can make a shaker with those bits!

I used a full panel shaker from Waffle Flower Crafts to wrap the panel and fill it up! I just chose some inks to create a background panel to match.

Here’s the video showing you how I created the shaker, even with a few mess ups along the way.

Now onto the blog hop for inspiration and ideas!

First up, the blog hop special is:

Don’t forget to use the code in the graphic above at checkout.

Simon Says Stamp is giving away a $25 coupon at every stop on the hop! Winners will be pulled from the comments and posted on the Simon Says Stamp blog on January 25. Winners will email Simon to claim their prize!

    Love the “leftovers die cuts” from your chain of hearts die card, previously done. The pastels are a nice change from the usual red and white and pink. Love that shaker card! TFS!
