Today I have some interactive cards to share. I’m excited to show you how to make these tulle shaker cards! One card features the Homemade Treats stamps and dies and would be the perfect invitation card for a holiday cookie exchange event. And the other card features the Beautiful Pumpkins stamps and dies for a fall/thankful theme. Both shaker cards involve similar steps for assembling the shaker element, but each have a slightly different overall card assembly and layout.

We have so much creativity that is shared from members of our community – in our team events, in our Facebook group, and in our cards that we swap. Today I am sharing our latest cards that were swapped on November 7th. I hope you still get a ton of inspiration from what arrived. The focus was using current products to show fun ways to use inks other than just straight stamping! Click here to find links to the current catalogs.
Take a look at all the creativity! Those that made each card are mentioned in the watermarks of the photos. By the way, this is a “sharing post” only. These ideas are to inspire creativity not to instruct. Please don’t ask for further details. I don’t have a supply list or measurements for each of these cards. And I don’t want to pressure the creators to provide that. Thanks for understanding. Of course, if you see an idea that you’d like me to share in the future, let me know.
A big thank you to all of the crafters/creators!

CTMH BRANDED PRODUCTS CLEARANCE SALE Save 30% all Close To My Heart branded products while supplies last. (Sale excludes any Stampin’ Up! scrapbooking products outside of the CTMH product category in the online store.)
If you watched my Online Paper Crafting Class this week, you saw me put together Double Pocket Cards with the Pocket Thoughts Dies, the Season of Elegance Specialty Paper, and the Peaceful Seasons Stamps & Dies.** I also shared in that instructional video peeks at some hand-crafted gifts I received from two recent events. Today I’m sharing photos of those event gifts AND photos and simple instructions for the gifts I put together and passed out at the second event.
**Products that I’m listing in this post are shown below and are currently linked to my online store.
My upline, Susan Campfield hosted a Leader event at her home in late September. Due to last minute transportation changes at our house, I couldn’t make it. So the next day she drove over and dropped off all my gifts and goodies.
Besides a beautiful pot of flowers, she gave me a pretty clipboard with a notebook and pen, a pair of warm slippers, and the flatware I would’ve used at the event within a cute holder she made with the Pocket Thoughts Dies, Season of Elegance Paper, and Autumn Expressions Stamps & Dies.
She also gifted me a pack of Gold Foil, a pack of that Season of Elegance Designer Paper, a bottle of Multipurpose Liquid Glue, a pack of Iridescent Foil Gems, a pack of 3×3 Flip Flaps, my own set of Pocket Thoughts Dies (I didn’t have these yet!), and all the consumables I would need for the three make-n-take projects that were created at the event.
Here is how those three projects came together.
The cocoa holder is similar to the flatware holder: two of the largest pocket dies are connected like a thin box. The card has the medium pocket die on the front that holds a gift card. The gift card pulls out because the bow is attached to a paper hook.
And the reindeer bag is made with two of the smallest pockets connected to a 1″ wide strip. Below are the back sides of the containers and the inside of the card.
Then last weekend (well…actually last Wednesday through Sunday) I attended a crafting retreat in Little Falls, Minnesota with some of my friends who are also fellow Stampin’ Up! demonstrators. I didn’t do any scrapbooking like I had originally intended to, but I got a lot of other things accomplished.
We did a gift exchange, too! Here are all the creative gifts and gift packaging I went home with!
Cheryl Lee gave the cute little candy box with the melting snowman image. Teri Zupancich gave a spiral notebook and an autumn pillow box with candy (both fancied up with autumn leaves), and some Zup’s Seasoning from her family’s store in Ely, MN. Mary Marohl gave me a covered clipboard with a notepad and pen. Kayla Cory & Nancy Forsberg gave the green DSP bag of candy and the Halloween book box with Glue Dots inside. They also gave me the candle in the coordinating decorated box (a gift they were going to give me at Susan’s event). Vicki Spicer gave the 3D printed green take out box character, the light green post it holder with stencil, the sticky note tape rolls and dispenser, and an anti static powder tool. And Marciene Ingram gave the baby Frankenstein treat holder with candy and the easel sticky note holder with birds and a calendar.
I created wrapped labels (with “love notes”) with the Christmas Labels Stamps and Dies and gave out pairs of warm socks to everyone. I wrapped 9 pairs and let everyone choose the socks they wanted.
I used the Textured Metallic Specialty Paper in either copper, gold, or tungsten for the main label layer and band. Then I paired this metallic color with the socks and added a coordinating color of cardstock underneath for the band and the hidden note.
For the bling I used embellishments from the Faceted Gems Trio Pack. I colored some with Blends Markers for more coordination.
Here is another set of photos of these same socks so you can see which ones I decorated with the same metallic foil.
Looking at them this way, you can get a better peek at the details. The scrolls on the sides of the bands come from what gets cut out of the label when die-cutting.
As you can see from the notes, I hadn’t been on a retreat with these gals for some time… since March of 2020! COVID hit that exact weekend (I remember calling my husband to tell him to pick up canned foods and toilet paper), and then weekends in the following years were very busy with both my two boys in high school and all their activities.
I hope you enjoyed all these creative ideas. Thanks for stopping by to see what I had to share today.

What else can you make with the contents of the Christmas Ornaments Kits Collection Kit? How about cards? Why yes. Of course! I made six cards with my 2nd third of this kit. (I made wine bottle tags with my 1st third and shared those on September 14th. Visit that post if you want to see those projects.)
For each of these, you’ll need a 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ sheet of Early Espresso Cardstock folded in half for the card base and a 3-3/4″ x 5″ Basic White layer for the inside. Then for three of them, you’ll need a 2″ diameter punched circle of Basic White to layer onto the three kit circles that don’t have white centers.
First stamp all your circles.
Lay out the pieces on your card, pull them away to stamp the background foliage images, then add them back in with adhesive.
Be sure to add your sentiment layer with Dimensionals.
And then embellish to add a bit more texture.
I used images from the Winterly Tree Tops Stamp Set. But there are probably many other stamp sets you could try using instead.
And did you notice that though this is a Christmas kit, changing the sentiment can make these cards work for other times of the year or other occasions. In fact they would make great masculine birthday cards.
If you want to put together the kit as intended, Stampin’ Up includes a sheet of visual directions within the kit. But you can also access directions through videos too. Click here to see the instructional video for this kit.
