I had such a nice time putting together this To You & Yours Shaker Christmas Cards Kit to make these fun shaker cards.  Shaker cards have some kind of “container” that holds glitter or sequins or beads so that when you shake the card, the fillers move around. I think the recipients of these kind of cards will really enjoy them.  You don’t want to overfill any shaker cards because then they won’t “shake” and you won’t see the background image, but you want just enough that the person can see the filling and enjoy shaking the card!

Here are the pretty supplies that come in the To You & Yours Shaker Card Project Kit, including some words in other languages since this is a “global” product. The kit makes 18 cards, 6 each of 3 designs. After you make all the cards, I still had plenty of glitter, sequins and stars leftover, plus some of the “negatives” left behind after pulling off the outline adhesive images that went around each window that I can use on other projects,

Here are close-ups of the individual cards, a little difficult to photograph with the window sheet and foil on the card base.

On this Christmas tree card, the tree branches are stamped on the background piece and then the colored sequins are glued on.  You can see the white glitter inside the shaker.

This Christmas star card has some stars stamped on the background in the window and also on the corners of the card.  Then you get star sequins that go inside plus some tiny adhesive stars to stick on the front of the card.

The Christmas Ornament card has colored sequins inside with stars stamped on the background behind the window.

Whether you use this kit or make them yourself, try making a shaker card for fun!  If you are interested in this To You & Yours Shaker Card Kit to make these Christmas cards, you can find it in my Stampin’ Up! Online Store HERE.

The card kit in the Stampin’ Up! Holiday Catalog, To You & Yours Shaker Card Kit, was one of the first things I ordered, but as quite often happens, only got around to making the cards yesterday!  The kit comes with lots of fun stuff! The card bases each have some shiny foil stripes on them and of course each shaker element has stars or sequins or glitter to put inside. The kit comes with die cut card fronts, window sheets to cover the opening and then narrow foam strips to apply behind that opening to form the pocket to hold the glitter, sequins, etc. Then there are sticker stars and two word elements to place over the window and pretty baker’s twine with which to tie a bow on each card. There is also some stamping to do on the card fronts and on the background sheet behind the shaker area.  The suggested stamp set to use is the To You & Yours Too Stamp Set. If you didn’t want to purchase this stamp set, you might find something you can use in your stash.

I didn’t get around to making the star card yet but I will do that today! It’s a nice way to spend an afternoon, working on Christmas cards!  Put on some Christmas music on your phone to have playing to get you in the mood!

There is still time to order this kit and make these To You & Yours cards and even get them mailed out before Christmas.  I do not see them as being backordered so get yours while you can!  The kit comes with envelopes also and all the pieces you need except for the stamps, ink, and basic adhesive (I used the Multipurpose Liquid Glue to adhere the window sheet to the back of the card front and also for the few sequins adhered to the Christmas tree). I also used Glue Dots to adhere the bows but you could use a dot of the glue. Dimensionals are included in the kit.

Here is the Stampin’ Up! video with tips for making the cards. I really suggest watching it.
