But, let me tell ya, that these are NOT easy to make --- at least not for me and especially when instead of following along with one of these wonderful videos, I decided to go for it "blind' and make from my Memory...LOL! Yes, you can laugh, because I have no memory as I quickly learned again today.
You can be sure that should I EVER decide to make anther shaker card, Ill be certain to do so by following a video...no more of this from "memory" stuff...that's for sure. I can however say that the end result is NOT nearly as bad as thought it would be. There are a LOT of "mistakes" but I think I did a pretty good job of hiding them with my design.
And WHY did I even make this card -- well that's all because of the fabulous MUSE card that Vicki shared as the inspiration for this weeks' challenge! Love Love Love it and seeing hte red, white and black I was determined to try one and go with a Valentine them, using one of my newest die sets "Stitched Heart Dies" from SSS!

I am happy and excited that I have finally taking on the "challenge" of creating a shaker card. Not sure what made me wait so long? Probably because I do NOT see them as EASY or very CAS cards and right now those are my favorites. I do like how it worked out and hope the IF I do try another one, I will learn from my first trial and it will be even easier.

The end result is gorgeous! I love it! I saw that Jennifer had a new technique and video - I definitely want to see it now! Thanks for joining us at Muse this week, Lisa!
I love how you played with your new die, Lisa! Great take on Vicki's Muse card, too!
I don't even attempt to make them. I give you all the credit in the world for doing so. It came out very nice. Ready for the cold? I went out today and don't plan on going outside for the next 5 days or so. Enjoy the week.
Beautiful job on your shaker card. I have a most difficult time making them too. Have only made 2 in fact. I chose to just use the colors and theme and not make it shaker. I took the easy way out. lol
I thought I was the only one who just had the hardest time with the shaker cards! Yours is so cute and I'm determined to keep trying these guys, but I haven't made one I thought was good enough to give someone!
Lovely card Lisa:) I have some things I found that have made life easier in making Shaker Cards. One of them is to get the adhesive sheets at PTI and cut out your die from it. I am working on getting the foam adhesive sheets for a2z also.
Wow, these are two AWESOME shaker cards!Way to use those dies. I am now inspired! Thanks so much for playing Simon Says Stamp Wednesday “Anything Goes” Challenge!
It turned out beautifully Lisa!! Whatever method you used, it worked! I wouldn't change a thing!
Love your take on the MUSE card Lisa, those stitched heart dies are gorgeous. Carol x
Pfft - I was expecting to see a card that didn't quite work after your lead in -- WELL YOU girl ROCKED out this shaker card! I love the rings -- actually, I love this entire card! Thanks so much for joining in at Muse [and the nice shout out too]!

Hi Lisa - this is a fabulous shaker card - so perfect with Valentine's Day coming up! I just love shaker cards!
You certainly did a great job with this shaker card Lisa. I remember my first one, I too tried it from memory. I only tore it up once before finishing it! Love the dies you used.
