Welcome to the Pals Fun Folds Blog Hop! We hope you enjoy the inspiration we have for you. You will find the lineup to the other great fun fold stampers at the bottom of my post.
I consider shaker cards “fun fold” cards, because they have something extra special going on. In this case, the Vintage Bottle Shaker Domes made accomplishing this very easy.
Shaker Bottle “just for you”
I began with a Thick Basic White card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. The largest Stitched Rectangles Die was used for cutting the layer of Awash In Beauty Designer Paper. This paper is gorgeous, and you can see all of the patterns by clicking on the picture in my Product List below.
Next, I used the fourth largest Stitched Rectangles Die to cut Basic White Cardstock, preparing for some “two-step” stamping. The bouquet is from the Bottled Happiness Stamp Set, which has two stamps to make the bouquet. First, I placed the white rectangle on the platform of the Stamparatus. Second, I positioned the flower stamp on the rectangle, then picked it up with the lid of the Stamparatus. Third, I inked the stamp with Blushing Bride Ink, and lowered the lid, pressing the ink onto the rectangle, which was held in place by a magnet. Fourth, I positioned the leaf stamp on top of the stamped flowers, and repeated the process with Pear Pizzazz Ink.
The sentiment is from the Charming Sentiments Stamp Set, cut with its Sentiment Silhouettes Die, and attached with Dimensionals. I stamped “just for you” in VersaMark on Thick Basic White Cardstock, sprinkled it with Gold Embossing Powder, and set it with the Heat Tool.
My May Host Code Gift
Type the current host code (found beneath my profile picture) in the box provided, on your order of $75.00 or more, before tax and shipping, and I will send you the Pretty Flowers Embossing Folder in June.
“The delicate design of the Pretty Flowers Embossing Folder is subtle enough to match any project but it does not hold back on beauty. Leave the embossed look neutral to emphasize its texture, or get creative and use watercolor to accentuate the florals.”

Very pretty. I haven’t ordered this bundle yet, but I’m seeing so many pretty things with it, I may have to order it.
Thank you, Lisa Ann! I was lucky; it was my free On Tour gift!
Love this! Those shaker domes are fabulous. This whole card is gorgeous. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you, Sue! I’m so glad you like it.
I like your card and want to case it. I was hoping you had instructions for placing the bottle and filling it. Thank you!
Thank you, Jeanne! I’ll think about a description of this, and you can send me an email.
Su, I too, desired to CASE this card (and did) as a very special appreciation card for my grandson to send to the family whose family member was a tissue donor in his recent knee surgery. (He asked me if I would make one for him to send.) I had a lot of problems with the placing and filling of the bottle. I finally got something to work…but I don’t ever want to have to do it that way again! If you were able to come up with some written instructions for Jeanne, would you please share with me, too?
Hi Bonnie,
I created another shaker bottle card with different instructions. Hopefully, this will help.

WooHoo! Thanks, Su! I’m just now seeing this!
Love this card. The colors are great! Just wondering what sequins you used in the bottle? They seem to match so well…
Hi Bonnie,
I used the Take Your Pick Tool, and took them from retired sequins. The new, For Everything Fancy Sequins #159187 is on my next order. They are on page 141 of the catalog, and would be perfect!
thanks!
Beautiful card, Su. I’ve been on the fence about it, but you are making it much easier to add it to my wish list. It is very pretty in pink. Enjoy your day!
Thank you, Hilda! We can’t have everything. But, I like the bottles, because they are unusual.
You’ve done it again Su….. you’ve enabled me to add this to my collection! Love it!
Thanks, Rae! Happy to enable!
Such a pretty shaker card, Su! Love this bundle a lot! Thanks for joining the fun fold blog hop this month!
Thank you, Debbie! I appreciate you organizing the hop!
Very pretty card.
Thank you, Terri! I’m so glad you like it!
