Beautiful Butterflies Shaker Card

Beautiful Butterflies Shaker Card

One of my ladies’ groups asked me to help them create a shaker card. At nearly the same time, Stampin’ Up!’s Artisan Design Team showcased a quick and easy way to make a shaker card with Stampin’ Up! products. The secret ingredient is the Medium Clear Envelope. I modified the project a little bit. Today, I share the card with you. It uses the Beautiful Butterflies Bundle. Find it in the January-April 2025 Mini Catalog.
