Shaker Card Fun | Not 2 Shabby Paper Pad Club

Hi friends! Today I'm popping in with a little inspiration featuring the Not 2 Shabby February Paper Pad Club. If you want to watch it unfold, you can check out my process video on the Not 2 Shabby YouTube channel.

I've always been a bit of a hot mess when it comes to shaker cards. I overfill, I underfill, I get to excited and forget to add the acetate. So today I'm testing out a method I saw somewhere that uses a word die with shadow for the shaker and a large enough panel that you can leave one side unsealed while you determine if you have enough shaker bits, then add or subtract. It worked like a charm and I love how this sweet shaker card turned out.

Cozy Bookish Cardmaking with Not 2 Shabby

Hey friends! Today I'm sharing a little project share video over on YouTube featuring three cards I made with the Not 2 Shabby January Box of the Month.  You can watch it below on the blog, or on my YouTube channel.

The card I'm sharing here on the blog today features the cozy Raining Books and Boots paper pad. It was inspired by a childhood memory of being told I always had my "head in the clouds" because I was constantly lost in a book. So I colored up some images from the Rainy Reads stamp set in the box of the month, fussy cut, then layered up the images on some cloud panels I cut with dies from my stash.

💡 Design Tip: Layering Fussy-Cut Elements

Don't be afraid to cut your stamped images apart! By cutting the girl separately from the books and cookies you can "tuck" items behind her or in front of her to make a scene come to life.

Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope you have a fantastic day!
