Good Monday morning my stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend? We had our quarterly team meeting yesterday and made some beautiful cards. I’ll be showing them in the next week or so. I was so happy to leave my town yesterday. I dropped my daughter off at work yesterday 2 hours before the parade was going to start and the parking lots were packed and there were people everywhere. There were bagpipers walking down the street getting ready, rescue trucks lining up along with scouts, 4-H clubs, school bands and many more. I walked 13 years in the parade with my girl scouts. My daughter said that the parade was over 2 1/2 hours long.
Today I made a shaker card for you. My card is CASE’d from my team leader Amy, but I did change a couple things. I’m having fun with these shaker cards, and I have some other ideas that I’m playing with to make more. Here’s my card for today.
I used the Stampin’ Up! Bottled Happiness Bundle along with the Stampin’ Up! Cup of Tea Photopolymer Stamp Set and Butterfly Kisses 6 X 6 Designer Series paper for my card today.
I started by adhering a panel of Butterfly Kisses DSP to a Parakeet Party card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. Using the Vintage Bottle Punch, I punched out the bottle from a panel of Basic Whtie cardstock. I centered the punch on the panel pushing the cardstock all the way in on the punch. I stamped the flower image from the Bottled Happiness stamp set in Fresh Freesia Ink above the bottle opening. I stamped the leaf image from the Bottled Happiness stamp set in Parakeet Party Ink over the flower image lining up the flower centers. I cut the panel using the Stitched Rectangle Dies.
I embossed a panel of Gray Granite cardstock using the Timber 3D Embossing Folder. I put the strip of cardstock into the Vintage Bottle Punch putting it all the way to the bottom of the punch and punched out the bottom of the bottle. I adhered the strip of cardstock to the bottom of the Basic White panel lining up the bottom of the bottle. I trimmed off the excess using my Paper Snips. I adhered the Vintage Bottle Shaker Dome to the back of the Basic White panel so that it popped through the opening. I filled the bottle with Effervescent Elements small amounts at a time, so they didn’t go all over. I removed the adhesive from the back of the bottle and adhered a panel of By The Bay 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper to the back of the bottle (I used a piece that looked like water).
I adhered the panel to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I stamped the sentiment from the Bottled Happiness stamp set in Orchid Oasis Ink next to the bottle. I tied a small bow using the Orchid Oasis 1/8″ Metallic Ribbon and adhered it to the bottle using a Glue Dot. I added a few 2022-2024 In-Color Matte Decorative Dots to the card front.
On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Cup of Tea stamp set in Orchid Oasis Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I stamped the flower image from the Bottled Happiness stamp set on the bottom of the panel in Fresh Freesia Ink. I stamped the leaf image from the Bottled Happiness stamp set in Parakeet Party Ink over the flower image. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Fresh Freesia mat then to the inside of the Parakeet Party card base.
To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the flower image from the Bottled Happiness stamp set in Fresh Freesia Ink on the envelope front. I stamped the leaf image over the flower image in Parakeet Party Ink. I adhered a panel of Butterfly Kisses DSP to the envelope flap.
Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you like the card and will give it a try. Happy Stamping!!

In response to changing policies at Stampin’ Up – I’m adjusting my Ordering Gift policy as well. I’m having to get a little more tough on the adding of Host codes when you place your order thru my Online Store.
Not to worry – you’re still going to get that $10 ordering gift for orders of $50 (before shipping & tax) or greater. And the gift is still any 1 SU! product up to that $10 value – which includes some of our fun Host Sets!
But – if you DO NOT use the Host code for your orders of less than $150 (this is the RETAIL total before Shipping & Handling), then you’ll have two options:
- You’ll need to call Stampin’ Up! (1-800-Stamp-Up) and ask them to add it for you. They’re very helpful and will get it done quickly! OR….
- If your order was over the $50 threshold but under $150, then…you’ll forfeit that $10 ordering gift and rewards – this is the Bummer Option – and I REALLY don’t want to do this, SO please remember to add my Current Host Code.
