Growing in Unity, Day 1

Happy Monday, friends!

I'm excited to be able to share some of the cards that I have created with Unity Stamps this week!

Be sure to visit every day, and comment on each post, to be eligible to win a $20 gift credit to Unity Stamp Co. Two of you will be randomly drawn at the end of the week for this generous prize!

Unity Stamp Co is a family owned, US based company that manufactures high quality red rubber stamps in just about any design style you can imagine. Be sure to check them out if you haven't!

Today I am sharing a flat shaker card! This type of shaker card doesn't use any foam tape and is super simple to create!


My images, which I colored with Copic markers, are from the Sammy Girl kit. The sentiment is heat embossed with gold embossing powder. 

After coloring my image I cut an oval frame into an A2 sized piece of paper that looks like alcohol ink! So pretty and zero mess! 



All you need to create a flat shaker card pouch is any clear packaging you may have; no need to purchase acetate sheets. I taped my plastic to the back of my card panel on 3 sides, leaving the top open. I used scotch tape; you can use any tape you have - no one will see the back once you mount it to a card base.


Now it is sure simple to pour your shaker elements in through the open flap before you tape it closed. 


I added my sentiment and a few extra doodads right on top of the plastic and mounted my card front to a card base.


I hope you enjoyed my card today, and are inspired to try out a flat shaker card (also called an edge to edge shaker!) I'll be back tomorrow with another Unity Stamp Co. creation!

Thanks for visiting and have a great day!

Floating By

 Hi Artzy friends -

For me, January means the end of the holiday card making season, and time to start making birthday cards for the year. 

I hope this card puts a smile on the recipient's face, especially if they have a winter birthday!


This full front, or edge to edge shaker card is easy to create with any clear packaging you may have laying around. I made a pocket with a card panel that was foiled with the Make Waves Hot Foil Plate and a piece of clear plastic packaging, and filled the pocket with sequins and shaker bits before sealing up the pocket.
I then colored and die cut my jellyfish and other sea creatures from the Jellyfish stamps and dies sets. I added them to the front of my card, along with my sentiment from the Seahorses stamp set, which I stamped on a banner die from the Wavy Slimline Framelits dies.

I just love all the sparkle and shine and "fun factor" of this card!


Join us in the Dare 2B Artzy blog challenge this month with a Winter Fun card for a chance to win a $15 gift certificate to the store!

Hello My Crafty Friend Shaker

 Hi crafty friends -

Today I am sharing an edge to edge shaker card, in mini slim size, featuring a Kat Scrappiness word die set.


Edge to edge, or full front shaker cards are an easy way to make shaker cards, with no foam tape, and using any clear packaging you may have saved from stamps, dies, etc. 

The only products and supplies I used for this card are patterned paper, cut with one of these dies, sequins, this die set, and of course - adhesives and cardstock. 




You can find lots of word dies, many with shadows, and mini slimline dies, in the Kat Scrappiness store.

If you'd like to use my affiliate link when you shop, at no extra charge to you, I would appreciate it!

Thanks for visiting, and have a great day!
