Every once in awhile, the scraps and leftover pieces on the craft table serve to inspire another project. I had a pile of little trees — remnants of Stampin’ Up!’s Tiny Christmas Trees Die — sitting on my table. A friend asked what I was going to do with all those little pieces. Create a shaker card, of course.

Today, I’m sharing that fun shaker card project with you.

Merriest Trees Shaker Card

Here are measurements for the projects and a recap of the Stampin’ Up! products I used:

• Thick Basic White Card Stock measuring 8 1/2 x 5 1/2, scored and folded at 4 1/4
• A Walk in the Forest Designer Series Paper (tree design), measuring 5 1/2 x 4 1/4

Be sure to watch the video below. I give step-by-step instructions from my craft room in Mesa, Arizona, to help you create this project at home.

Shaker Card How to Video

Did you know the A Walk in the Forest Designer Series Paper (used in today’s shaker card project) s a “give back” product? That means that Stampin’ Up! donates $3 from the sale of each package will be donated to organizations helping kids having a good Christmas.
