I want to go back to cardmaking, but not that much, cause all my craft corner looks like a mess and since it’s upstairs and in the room with closed doors, I forget about it! Every time I walk upstairs (rear, cause we don’t live there) I’m surprised of what’s going on in my craft corner!
Janis brought me sequins (pick out our mailbox) and Nelle saw them, so we had to go upstairs and make something! Never made shaker card before but I had a little crafter with high expectations – Nelle!
So, we made our first shaker card. This is greeting card to Sāras (Nelles friend in kindergarten) birthday party! Now I have double-mess at my craft corner, that is upstairs and in the room with closed doors… Help! 🙂

I’ve never heard of a ‘shaker card’ before but I get the idea. Well done Nelle – cards hand made mean so much more than one ready-made from the shop. I have one carefully saved from Christmas though all others are now ‘gone’. Messy craft corner? I wouldn’t dare show you mine – good you can shut the door on it :-), as can I.
My craft corner is in Janis “office” full of cables, cords, screws, plugs and soldering boards etc. Thank you for keeping my card :). I would love to make more cards!
oh but it was soooo worth it! Shaker cards are so fun! Nelle’s friend will be thrilled!
🙂 Nelle showed it to the Sara already, but didn’t gave it to her – cause her birthday are after a week in Thursday :D. I was surprised! I told Nelle, that she can gave this card and then we will make another one 🙂 “But I made this one as birthday card, and Sara can wait, she told me so!” 🙂
LOL – too cute!
😀 that is Nelle! Going from kindergarten to the car she will greet all around even if she needs to shout 🙂
love it!!!
Me too! I let her shout and greet everyone! I now we have to talk about safety when she start to go to school… not to talk to the strangers etc (do you have such “safety” guides!?)
Yes there is such a thing sadly.
Yes it is sadly! Why can’t we all live in peace and harmony guided by love 😉 Sounds like Ponyville.
That’s so cute! 😀
Thank you! I guess I need to make more cute cards for kids. It’s lift up my spirit as well!
How cute!
😀 Nelle’s design! Just helped a little bit.
a mess, but also what a cool card!
Thank you! Nelles design! But this is also my first shaker card to, cause I really helped here with sequins. But I guess I need to solve few “problems” to get in my craft corner!
Lol I have to too!
Very nice card!!! I also make cards and know how messy they can be, but it’s worth it!!! Enjoy!!!
Kind regards, Carolyn
Thank you, Carolyn! This mess is from Santas workshop! When I was a little elf and wrapped 27 presents! Still, haven’t clean that! Thank God I took away wrapping paper and ribbon, Nelle was very suspicious about snowflakes – They look like ones on Linna’s present from Santa! But I showed here die cut and told, that Santa is having the same, cause these are easy to get at winter time 🙂
I too haven’t cleaned up Santa’s workshop, but no little ones around to see:) Good idea about telling her that Santa has the same cutting tools:)
I didn’t had any other idea, but this one worked! 🙂
So cute and I love shakers! Waffle Flower bear is adorable! Crafting with your girl is very special. That reminds me of times when I crafted with Nick when he was little. Now we play video games, watch movies, and go out to dinner. Miss those times. Messy craft space is a problem, my dining room table has been overtaken by crafty mess for two years. I finally decided to organize my space, bought a desk, and now attempt to clean after each project. Now organizing all my supplies little by little due to the cost of containers and other organization supplies. It looks much better already.
So sweet & special comment! Thank you for sharing! I would love to have real craft corner, mine is as yours – desk and a bit where to put supplies. I guess this year I will try – cleaning that mess, organize a bit and CLEAN AFTER EVERY PROJECT! All my last projects was in hurry, hence the mess!
There are so many amazing videos on YouTube about organizing your supplies. I will post a few tips and tricks soon!
All I need is time 🙂 but inspiration always helps get time 🙂
AND: Your “Hello” card inspired me to make a shaker card with my girl Nelle! 🙂 Thank you for that!!! Keep sharing!
That is the best thing I have heard all day! I am so glad my post inspired you to create your own shaker!!! Careful, though, they are so addictive LOL!
Oh, I need to clean my messy house, then messy craft corner, then I can make another one…. I’m not sure if I want to clean everything – fast or slowly 😀
So sweet!
Thank you!
