Feeling Fishy: How to Make Shaker Cards with Fun Inserts
I may or may not be highly obsessed with making shaker cards. There is something so satisfying with adding a moving element to a project. It allows the recipient to have a tactile experience with your creating. While most shaker cards use sequins I decided to take a different approach and incorporate stickers into the shaker cards.
I was inspired by the amazing products from Paper House Productions, which I am so fortunate to be a member of the Paper House Productions Creative Team. I created a fish-themed card for this project. I will list the products below that I used.

The Materials:
Step 1: Cut card to the desired shape
I decided to use a quote card as the background for the window of the card. When cutting out your card make sure you give yourself enough room to have a half an inch border for your cut out window.
Step 2: Trace and cut out window for the card
I traced my quote card on the back of the front part of the card with a pencil, allowing myself at least half an inch of room. I then cut the window with an Exacto knife and a ruler. Make sure you don't cut your fingers!
Step 3: How to create your own sticker inserts
After selecting what stickers to use for this project I placed them on white cardstock, where I then used an Exacto knife to cut them out. Most stickers come with a thick white paper backing in the package. It is a great way to reduce waste and repurpose the cardstock that would normally be thrown away.
Step 4: Adhere clear plastic envelope onto the back of the cutout window
I used a clear adhesive roller to affix the clear envelope to the card. I reuse the clear plastic envelopes that come with most craft orders. It is a great way to be thrifty while also reducing waste!
Step 5: Embellish
After inserting your sticker embellishments into the card embellish away!
