"What’s not to love about shaker cards !! They are super fun with all that glitter and sequins just shaking around in a little cluster. I love all the sayings in the Zella Teal collection as the 3x4 cards are perfect for using as a background for the shakers." ~ Anita

"I made a star-shaped winter card in a mint and kraft color combo. I mixed glitter with snowflake paste to create the snowy effect around the edges of the card and over the flowers. I also added silver micro beads to add more texture and shine." ~ Kavitha

"Mixed-media doesn’t always have to be super messy and you don’t always have to go all out when using Finnabair supplies! I tried to show that with this card. I’ve used five mediums while making this shaker card, but still it looks quite clean, at least to my eye! The background cardstock is painted with Sparks and gives a kind of glitter cardstock look. Then there’s White Heavy Gesso for the snow inside the shaker part, silver wax, white Art Sugar for the stars and the snow flake, and last, but not least, beads for the shaker part." ~ Riikka

"I used the tiny beads in my shaker, but you have a lot to choose from in the Finnabair line. Going from smallest grain to the largest, you can use Finnabair glitter sets, Micro Beads, and Glass Beads. Or, better still, you can mix the three and create an unique mixture of your own!"

"I used a beautiful A4 paper pad Nov/Dec and ephemera pack by Julie Nutting to create two shaped cards. If you have these two products you can create a lot of Christmas cards. For the shape of the card I just drew the shapes by hand and cut the bases from watercolor paper." ~ Ola
