Shaker Valentine with Sweet Talk

Here’s a fun Valentine shaker card I made recently and mailed off to some special little friends. I used a variety of supplies…The heart is die cut using the larger heart from the  Bouquet of Love Hybrid Embossing Folder set. The red dot paper is from the Flowering Fields Designer Series Paper pack and I used the Window Sheets to create the “window” for the heart shaker. I then used foam adhesive strips to follow the shape of the heart on the underside, added some faceted sequins (retired) on the card base, centered over where the heart would be positioned, then adhered it to the front to the Basic White card base. Oh and before adhering anything to the card base, I stamped the hearts along the top and side. The conversation hearts and Happy Valentine’s Day sentiment are all from the Sweet Talk photopolymer stamp set (retired). 

Here is a list of the non-retired supplies used to make this card (at the time of posting):

Dainty Flowers friendship card Salebration freebie with purchase

Stampin'UP! has a sale called Salebration every year where they offer freebies with every $50 purchase. This year the sale runs from Jan 5th until Feb 28th, 2023. There are several wonderful choices but the favorite pick has surely been the 12x12 printed paper pack called Dainty Flowers. One of the six designs in this paper pack has 6 wonderful oval wreaths of dainty watercolored flowers. Very little needs to be done with this beautiful paper to make a gorgeous card and here is my first card made with one of the 6 beautiful watercolor designs:

The card base is Mint Macaron card stock, with a mat layer of Rich Razzleberry. The center sentiment is from the Flowers of Friendship stamp set and is stamped in Rich Razzleberry. I then die cut it using one of the labels in the Painted Labels Dies set and then adhered it slightly offset and also raised with dimensionals. The lacy edge is also from the Painted Labels Dies. A strip of retired ribbon and a few pearls finish off this card. 

This free paper pack with a $50 purchase has sold out however I will have sampler card kits available on my Etsy shop hopefully starting in early March. My sampler card kits have 6x6” of each double sided design in the paper pack (a total of 6), coordinating 5.5x4.25” card stock, ribbon and embossed panels so that you can start creating cards immediately. 

Thanks for stopping by…hope it’s inspired you to create something to share today.
