One of my four cards for the January Christmas card challenge. Our theme is Music. I chose titles of Christmas carols.
This is the easiest shaker card ever! Choose a sturdy clear bag (this one came from a clear stamp set). Fill it with materials if choice and trim the top to the proper length for your card size. I ran a thin strip of double sided adhesive on the inside top of the bag and then taped over the edges of the opening for added security. I cut the frame, leaving a fairly large border, and a piece of patterned paper slightly smaller than the frame. After stamping and embossing the patterned paper, it was attached to the prepared card base, and the filled bag was adhered to the patterned paper using double sided adhesive on all four sides. The frame is attached with foam tape.
As always, thanks for looking!

No such thing as an easy shaker card (grin), not for me anyway! LOVE this and love the idea! It looks fantastic and that background paper sets it off beautifully! This is so well done!

Jody,
Wow, another awesome card! I love the colors of this one and that you made a shaker card out of it! So clever that the "Joy" sentiment is inside the shaker! Love it!!
