Hi everyone! It's getting closer to the holidays. I just wanted to stop by and share a quick and easy gift card idea I created for my boy's teachers for Christmas. I used the No Peeking stamp set for the images. You probably can not see but, it's actually a shaker card. That means that when you shake the card, there are things that move inside the frame where the image is. For the first card, I used glass glitter. For the second card, I used some mica flakes I had left over from last year's catalog. But, you can use anything that is small. All you do is adhere our shaker frame to the image and then add your glitter or mica flakes. Then cover it with a piece of window sheet. Then make sure you have a hole if the front of the card to place the image behind. Not only is it a shaker card, it's also a gift card holder. Behind the banner flag, there's a tag made from the two tags die. When you pull on the ribbon, a gift card pops up. Since I have two teachers, I made two different cards. Both are really cute. You could put any images behind there. I had my boys choose the colors and images they wanted to give to their teacher. See which ones you like better and look below for the list of supplies.
