Clear Envelope Shaker



by Dawn



I placed sequins in the Clear Envelopes cut and taped, close to edge. Very simple, then I added my foam tape.
As you can see I tried the turkey first, it overlapped too much.



 Good morning! 

Weekends are always so busy for me with my large family, not too much craft time.  One reason I love MIM... it's usually the first card I make for the week just for fun!

We had three granddaughters stay with us for a few days. So much fun , swimming, crafting ( for them) S’mores by the fire pit . We even had a baby bird fly into the house when we were going out to look at the bright moon. After lots screams and the baby bird flying around,  we were able to safely get the baby bird outside. 

I liked Lisa’s stitched frame  so I did the same.

 Thanks for stopping by.

  9. Beautiful shaker card. I tried to do one with one of my cards today that is for my nephew's birthday. I was going to try your method but the envelope I had was too big for my Happy die. Darn, and I was not successful with the other way. I think I was supposed to pop it up and I just used tape and it wouldn't shake so I started over and forgot it.

  29. I'm still a sucker for a shaker card and it was so smart to put the sprinkles in a bag so you don't have to add a ton of beads, gems and sequins, or even any weight for mailing! Beautiful!
